I am now a morning person. 5

Yeah, so The Rona finally ate my job. It was a second shift position, so I've been getting up at noon and going to bed at 5am for a few years, now. My sleep schedule doesn't adjust easily, but after two weeks of struggling with it, I am getting up around seven or eight in the morning, now. It took lots of Melatonin and caffeine to get here, but I think my new circadian rhythm is starting to stabilize.
The first obvious benefit of this is that I can get a lot more done outside with 4-5 more hours of daylight. Also, it will make job hunting much more practical once I finally get around to doing that.
But thirdly, and possibly most importantly, I have now gained access to Hardee's biscuits, which I have not tasted in a very long time. I missed you so much sausage biscuit with swiss cheese and tomato! You too, pork chop `n gravy! I love you so much.

Would you rather you were still on your old pattern?
I was a shift worker on similar hours to you for the vast majority of my working life, and I miss it to this day. This 9-5 grind is for the fucking birds man.

Not at all. I'm loving all this daylight. I enjoy the night as well, but daylight is nice, too. Back when my social hours were late, I lived for The Night, but these days I'm more likely to be social in the daytime. Most of my friends are the same age as me, and go to bed early, as us old folk tend to do.
Also, being unemployed, there is no grind at the moment. I can go places and do things. the pandemic as put some limitations on that, but now I can do things like visit a nursery in a neighboring town, or get an oil change without having to plan it a week or more in advance.
I like the daytime, and I'm going to enjoy it and make use of it while I can, but mostly I think I just like not having, and at least for now, not needing a job.

ironically, so am I. When I had my job, I was on night shift. Well, my company is no more (only slightly caused by the Coronavirus), but now I wake up early due to my window blinds being half-way open for my San Pedro cactus. I sacrafic morning sleep for the benefit of my growing San Pedro cutting which I hold dear

I find that time released 3mg melatonin, which I take as a COVID prophylactic, has to be taken before bedtime because it dulls out my mind and dries up my eyes until I sleep.
3mg Melatonin is very compelling as a sleep inducer.
I don't find 12mg 4x as effective. 3mg time released is optimal.

Also, in some weird way, I feel more like an actual member of society rather than some kind of mole-person slinking around the dark back alleys of reality.
Also, also, because of the pandemic, I can't do my shopping at 2am, which, at least in my late 40's, is one of the main perks of being a night person.
That, and the realization that I'm never really going to get around to doing all that Batman stuff I told myself I was going to do.

I feel that way too! I feel like a normal person again being awake when everyone else is awake. I finally dont feel like the weirdo that sleeps during the daytime. And for that, I am thankful.

I am opposite. I like night shift to get AWAY from all the weirdos

I think that since when I was a kid, i had to get up early to go to school, which was 8+ hours of mostly unpleasant experience. When I grew up and got out, I could freely associate whit who I wanted to mostly at night. Now all my friends and I have gotten older, and most of them have kids, and there isn't really any night life. Night has become what day used to be; 8+ hours of drudgery, working for "The Man" and doing what someone else wants me to do.
Daytime now represents freedom for me to do what I want to do, which for my boring old ass is things like gardening, eating Hardee's biscuits, and day drinking.
But I'm also thinking about trying to start some kind of business. My last job paid pretty well, and I saved up some money that I could use to start one, but I'm not sure what kind.

me either, I worked 2 night shifts and it fucked me for 30 days, I couldnt fall asleep before 10am, and then id be up at 4, it drove me nuts, I even spent $100 on a 15lb weighted blanket cause I heard it helps

I got some 10mg mixed timed/instant released swallow pills and it didnt seem to do shit for me, and it also pissed me off it didnt say how much of that 10mg was time release and how much was instant release
I like 3mg sublingual pills, I take 4-8 of those a night and it knocks me out, I take 2 every 10 minutes till im asleep
my sleep has been fucked for as long as I can remember, I think I have a minor sleep phase disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

With all respect for your insomnia, most sources I've read state that overdoing melatonin might be detrimental to health.
As its a natural neurotransmitter, that seems a fair assessment.

yeah on the insomnia boards they use a pill cutter and take like 0.5mg, they say it works better in lower amounts, but I found pounding them puts me to sleep so thats what I have been doing

I worked at Hardees a very long time ago and loved it. Except I worked evenings which got me away from the morning rush that could be so intense there. Back in the day (when they still sold fried chicken) all they could ever really muster was breakfast business.
I was the cook and we had a bunch of regular customers that I knew exactly what they were going to order as soon as they pulled in the parking lot so I could make their stuff fresh and still get it out in time and not use the dehydrated crap and soggy buns they wanted us to use.
The girls up front said they could always tell when I was back there cooking because everything weighed twice as much.
I didn't have a car at the time and I could walk to work. I saved money and bought a car and quit that place.
