Your use of name calling and cliches shows that you are out of ideas and are losing your argument, since you have nothing of substance to add. Bye.

Why is it that you all label morning people as "normal" just because Benjamin Franklin said so? That line of thinking is very dangerous. You need help.

So, as long as I get the work done, why should it matter if I'm working at midnight rather than at 6 AM, or that I am working on July 3 rather than July 4?

Mits, you keep going on about people "forcing their lifestyles on [you]." Can you please pragmatically explain what you mean by this?
I am referring to the fact that our world seems to cater toward morning people rather than night people.

I'm a natural night person. But I have children - they don't let you sleep late on the weekends. If anything they have some sort of internal timer that gets them up earlier on those days. Children=sleep deprivation. If you are still in your twenties I advise you to HAVE THEM NOW. Sleep deprivation is harder to deal with in your late 30's and 40's than it is when you are young.

So he isn't forcing his lifestyle on you, then. You may be upset that the world doesn't cater to you, but CSK doesn't force his lifestyle on you.

Could it be that most people are awake when it's daylight?

No, never!

Excuse me as I go reprimand my godson-- apparently, with his erratic sleep schedule when I watch him, he's forcing his lifestyle on me, which is not fair to me.

I need help? People are designed, genetically to be up and working during sunlight. I never said normal people. I said most people.

Hmmm - I thought this post was about Zillow, not about different people's sleeping habits, etc.

Looks like it got sucked into the mits vortex ... of things not to like about the 9-5 business culture, the cost of middle class life on LI, the sacrifices to be made to make a living, etc., etc., etc.
