I’m an early riser, but not all people are. Some people are more awake in the afternoons, some people don’t really wake up until the evenings. So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?
I know that night school is a thing, but that’s really targeted at people who want to study over many years around their other commitments (e.g. a day job). I’m talking about full-time three- or four-year bachelor’s degrees and above (though exactly the same logic applies to all education really). Surely there’s enough demand for at least a couple of top-class full-time education establishments that don’t even open their doors until lunchtime?
When you reach middle age, you lose the ability to regularly sleep beyond 8am. Schedules are not written by young people.
Nevertheless, one of my younger relatives goes to a 16-18 year old college that starts at 10:30.
I’m middle-aged and still a night owl just like when I was younger. I think this depends on the person.
You’re right of course, but rather than admit that, I want to claim that eventually your prostate, if you have one, will say no to sleeping through the morning.
More seriously, I think late teenagers have a well-documented hormonal predisposition to staying up late and getting up late. It’s hard for them them to have to live to the typical middle aged schedule.
