Not a Morning Person? Study Says You’re Not an Afternoon Person Either

Study Shows That 100% of People Who Say ‘I’m Not a Morning Person’ Are Also Not Afternoon People

A recent survey conducted by the National Institute of Temporal Laziness reveals a shocking statistic: those who claim they “aren’t morning people” also show strong tendencies to avoid productivity in the afternoon, evening, and occasionally at night.

“This confirms what we always suspected,” said Dr. Lionel Sloane. “Humans are lazy creatures. Claiming a specific ‘non-productive’ time is just a socially acceptable way to declare ‘I avoid work entirely.'”

Eyewitnesses report seeing study participants napping, scrolling social media, or staring blankly at walls. Poll respondents admitted that even when they say “I’ll do it later,” “later” often translates to never.

Chronotypes and circadian rhythms have been extensively studied by sleep researchers. The National Sleep Foundation notes that individual sleep preferences vary widely, though procrastination remains a universal human tendency. Workplace productivity experts suggest that understanding personal energy patterns can help optimize time management.

Signe Wilkinson was born in Durant, Oklahoma, a place where sharp humor often bubbled up between church socials and town hall meetings. After studying fine arts and political science at the University of Oklahoma, she fused those disciplines into a career that made her one of America’s most distinctive satirical voices. Now based in Washington, D.C., Wilkinson is celebrated for her incisive editorial cartoons and essays that expose the hypocrisies of politics and culture with both wit and clarity. Her work has been archived in major journalism institutions, cited in university courses on satire as democratic critique, and featured on panels examining freedom of expression. Known for pairing biting humor with compassion, she transforms local observation into national commentary. From Durant to D.C., Wilkinson shows that satire is democracy’s sketchbook and scalpel.
