Time of birth & sleeping pattern?
I'm not expecting any definite answers, just opinions. Me & my boyfriend were discussing our sleeping schedules. We noticed that if I sleep during the night & am awake all day, I never feel fully awake, but if I sleep during the day & am awake all night, I feel wide awake. He's the opposite. Then he brought up that I was born at night & he was born in the morning, & we were kind of curious to whether or not your time of birth would affect that.
Any opinions on this, or know of any actual research done on this?

Sleeping patterns start before you are born. The time of your birth has nothing to do with it.
"Night owl" and "morning lark" traits are caused by differing sensitivities to light in relation to your circadian rhythm. You are less sensitive to light, so it takes more light to wake you up and more dark to put you to sleep. This sensitivity is primarily determined by your genes.

That's an interesting theory, but I don't think it's conclusive. I'm exactly how you are. If I sleep during the day, I can be up until the next day and not feel tired at all. But if I sleep at night and wake up in the morning, I'm sluggish all day and never feel fully alert. I was born at 6 in the morning.
I think it has more to do with whether you're a night owl or a morning person. It's definitely interesting though.
