Brian Lear on WNYC to close out the show today we're inviting calls for morning people and night people

on how you adjust when the clocks move back an hour like they did last Saturday night,

or when they move forward an hour like they will do next March.

212 433 WNYC and also on the idea that there's a tyranny of mourning people in our society.

Where does this idea come from?

Well, it comes from Tom Nichols

with an article in the Atlantic.

This is for new morning people out there and it says, let's see, are there any of you

out there who resent morning people? That's our question. That's part of the question.

Maybe it's because you naturally prefer the night

and would like to rise after the sun every morning,

no matter what time of year it is,

or perhaps it's the performance, the morning people put on

when they explain their thorough morning routines that begin at 5 a.m. or sometimes earlier,

there seems to be a clarification of your early risers in our culture

that starts with us turning back our clocks and hours so that you can wake up in sunlight and is

further exemplified by our early start times for work, school, and other

non-negotiable life activities in our society.

So do you agree with Tom Nichols in the Atlantic when he says it's time to quote

overthrow the tyranny of morning people. Morning people you yourselves may call in

and respond to this, or night people,

is this striking accord with you?
