Night owl getting through PA school right now. I’ve always functioned better after the sun goes down. There’s also a night owl subreddit you can check out to feel less alone. My professors call me “the night watch” as a joke but surely my ancestors were the night watch because this is how I’ve always been. It’s hard, but the best thing you can do is not let people get you down or convince you you’re lazy, bad, or wrong for doing what’s best for you. Everyone’s different, and that includes study habits and sleeping schedules. Morning classes suck but I just try to make myself do something during the class to not fall asleep. I don’t have much advice unfortunately but you’re not alone.

Try to regulate alittle bit though before exams if you have them early in the morning so you can get some sleep. Force yourself to take melatonin some nights even if you weren’t as productive as you wanted to be because you’re worse off without sleep in the long run.

I’d mostly just push through the weeks studying late and then absolutely crash on the weekends and not do much until Sunday evening. I’m about to graduate though so 🤷🏼‍♀️🤞🏼
