Are you NATURALLY nocturnal? If you are in the LA-SoCal area and can identify with any of the statements below, this group may be just for you.
As soon as night, and especially late night comes, I become fully awake and active. These are my peak hours of creativity and mental performance.
I toss and turn restlessly if I try to sleep at night. Even sleep aids and forced day scheduling works only temporarily, as my body takes the first opportunity to return to its original pattern.
I am less alert and energetic during the day and have always struggled to fit into typical day schedules.
I feel I have to give excuses for not meeting others and making appointments early in the day because when most people are waking up, it's time for me to go to bed.

If any of the above statements are true for you, you are not alone .

Our natural biological clock can be reset, but not changed- it would be like trying to force a bat to permanently mimic the typical human sleep cycle. A far healthier and less stressful solution is to stop thinking that something is wrong and to simply EMBRACE THE NIGHT!
What secrets might the city hold when the vast majority are asleep? Let's discover them together- the night is ours. The group is also open to anyone who works the night shift and would like to explore activities on their nights off or to discuss the practical issues of night living.
