Sleepy during daytime, why is it that your being called lazy?

well, guess it is so because of the things that we do or maybe we can't do while we are in sleepy "cpndition". peple just think we are lazy, but we are actually itres!

you have to ignore people like that. According to your profile you are 51 but it doesn't matter. You say you are working the night shift? Well, you need to sleep sometime and working the night shift your body is used to being awake during the night and sleeping during the day. Doesn't sound as if you are lazy at all, donclaudio.

i am totally opposite from you... i am an early person and i always prefer to work morning shift whenever i can... the earlier the better... i also always sleep early at night to make sure that i can wake up early the next day for work... everybody has a different lifestyle and it is entirely your choice... so to have somebody tagging you as "lazy" for not being an early person sounds quite harsh for me... just ignore them... you know yourself better whether you are a lazy person or not... take care and have a nice day...

I guess your body clock is used to having you sleep during the daytime. People may tag you as lazy because they are not used to seeing people awake at night and asleep in the daytime. I guess its because they, especially old people, view "nomal" as sleeping at night and waking up real early in the morning. I also sleep late and was able to cope with night shifts when I was still working. My family used to tag me as lazy and having no future until I landed that job and earned a good salary and was even able to buy my own house. Now, people at home let me sleep until noon.

Tell them you sleep during the day because you're a vampire and if they don't shush about it you'll turn all of them.That'll learn em.

i guess we cant judge people whose still sleeping during the day coz we never know if they are suffering from insomnia that cannot sleep at night. thats why they just sleep in the morning. its not really easy to judge people.

look not on how late you wake-up, rather look how late you go off to bed, that's what i always says when someone question my waking up hours, i usually wake up around 9 am...but always sleeps at 12 midnight..

people forget there's night shifts of work.so if they see people sleeping during the day,they consider it odd and think they're not working.i've run into that. i just tell them you're not paying my bills are you?,then STFU. i've never been a day person either.when i am up early it's rare. (well,their idea of early)

as long you're not sleeping all day and sponging off the state coz you can't be bothered to work,then what's their problem,you're working,earning a living,there are a lot of people out there who just laze around all day and won't work,that's lazy

yeah. I like night shifts too. I used to be assigned to a night shift. As for being called lazy sleeping in the morning i used to be called that too. It's just that most of the people are awake in the morning and it seems odd for them to see someone sleeping in the morning while they do their everyday stuff.

This is like all nonsense. If someone is waking up late, so whats in there to call them lazy. There is no point to tag them as lazy. Don't they know the meaning of lazy. I go to the school, and when I come back home, I fell really tired and I go to sleep and get up after 1 or 2 hours. And when I have a holiday, I get up late as all the days I have been studying or doing some work, so of course, I will wake up late. So, anyone who is going to say someone lazy, they should think for what reason they are telling that person lazy. And the reason should be sensible. Have a great day!

I do not consider you as lazy at all. I am a night owl as well. I have never been the type who likes to get up early in the morning. I hate when people call me lazy. I married someone who loves to sleep in late. Unfortunately, this week he does not get to sleep in late because his boss is on vacation and my husbnad has to fill in. He hates it and hates the woman who is on with him this week because she tells my husband what to do and yet my husband has more experience than she does.

Universally the morning is taken as the time when the work starts. People have got used to it, ignoring the fact that it is not important for one to start doing things right in the morning. Yes, just like you my whole family had to hear that they were doing it all wrong. But we simply do not care. We are all night-owls.

Don't sweat over it, donclaudio, as long as you know the claims are not true. Your relatives must be elderly people, who have this concept about "early bird gets the worms." In the olden days, people woke up early to tend to their farms, but that's in the olden days! I really don't see any relations between waking up late and poor productivity.

I am also a night owl! I feel my best at night when it's all quiet in my house. I often get so much done at night. However, i don't get too sleep in too late because I have a 3 (almost 4) year old, so he wakes me up. I guess I forfeit sleep sometimes so that I can have "me" quality time, and get things done too! Sometimes, if I was up late and my son has woke me early, then I'll take a nap with him. I wouldn't consider myself lazy because of staying up late because I do take care of my house and child. Besides, if you are working a job that requires you to work nights, then obviously you are going to sleep during the day, or sleep in. Don't let them bother you!

Hmmm... Do not bother about them. If you are not an early bird, people tend to call you lazy. Try getting up a little early - it will make you fit and your body mechanisms proper. That is the reason behind waking up early. Well, if you can work through the night, then I think night shift is the best for you and you have to carry on with the way life is going!
