Does the early bird always get the worm? by Kirsten - January 2019 Scholarship Essay

A night owl is someone who is active or wakeful at night, instead of being an early bird which is someone who wakes up in the morning with plenty of energy.I would definitely consider myself a night owl because I tend to do everything at night time. While i wake up for school early in the morning,I participate in volleyball practice late at night and study for tests or finish homework. Even though I still have to study and go to practice after school, I am much more relaxed but still getting things done.
The first reason I would consider myself a night owl is because I have trouble waking up in the morning and I have two alarms set for every morning.If a person has more than one alarm set in the morning they are typically not a morning person even though I am never late.I personally do not like to wake up early because it takes me a while to actually wake up. I have always had a hard time waking up even in elementary school just as it was always easy for me to stay up late then also.Therefore if a person has always had trouble waking up in the morning since a younger age it can be an ongoing thing.
Secondly, considering I was playing travel volleyball and school volleyball in elementary and some soccer, I was doing homework late then.I never broke the habit, due to me always playing volleyball and having the late practices. That trained my body to think that staying up late was no problem but then I would end up being tired in the morning.Every daily activity a person does is unintentionally training your body how to live and react to certain things. Therefore, when you train your body to be a night owl you will be one rather than an early bird and it becomes more natural.
Lastly, I am more productive at night because I am more relaxed rather than during the day when all teachers give you homework at once. When I am at home I am in a calm place where I can finish what needs to be done. In school there are always people who try to distract you instead of doing their own work.At home there are no distractions and their is a sense of relief when you finish an assignment.Therefore,being in a relaxing environment also contributes to me working better at night.
In conclusion, I work better at night due to the fact that my body has been trained to work more efficient at night due to always having the same type of schedule in elementary.Also being in a more relaxed and quiet environment limits distractions.
