I used to think I was the same, but I realised (embarrassingly slowly), that every time I went camping/hiking away from artificial light I would just go to a natural sleep cycle. It was artificial stimulation all along, I wasn't really a night owl.

This - the startup industry is full of late night owls and spike-oriented because they are kept awake by screen light and by the contraption they are mentally building.

And this sounds ridiculously lazy to physical workers, and even to my former self, when I woke up at 4.30 in Australia to cut the first trees at 6:00 ;) That was the only moment of my life where I wasn’t depressed. Maybe this blue light has a very palpable effect on sleep cycles and depression, after all.

Same here, but I can not go camping for a living and I enjoy building things with code after midnight.
