The idea might sound at first pretty confusing, what I'd like to propose for a 30-day program is to switch the night and daytime for 30 days. This means a person would have to sleep during the daytime and lead his major life cycle during the nighttime: he or she could play video games whenever bored, and he or she could take a part-time job in fast food chains, bars or restaurants that open for 24 hours. One could also meet his or her own friends, only if they are still awake.
Why am I proposing this? Because the topic was always something fascinating to me: at least a day of living the nightlife instead of the busy life during daytime. Any kids would have experiences of trying to stay awake during all night with their might, even though there's really no practical good in it. The silent, furtive nighttime can offer people some rest from the mundane daytime lives, could provide them some time to reminisce over themselves, and make them to give more attention to places or people they would not have noticed ordinarily, such as salesmen working from early dawn or taxi drivers who stay awake during the nighttime.
I also want to know that if people could sustain their ordinary lives still pretty normally if they change their life cycle so radically. As a proud student of the KMLA, I'm pretty sure that anyone suffers a lot from a sudden breakoff of their daily life cycle. Also, I'm pretty curious if 30 days are enough period for a person to again completely change into a nighthawk; I don't know if someone's daily life cycle built up for several years could change so dramatically in just a month of period.
If I was given a chance, I would love to take the opportunity to lead a month of nightlife. Of course it might be a bit more lonley than before, since anyone I'd like to have a friendly talk would be sleeping, but I think it would be very "romantic" to be a nighthawk around quiet midnight.
I like the pic you choose to accompany the post. It's one of my dad's favorites and he has it hanging in his office. It is interesting and I could see MBC shadowing two taxi drivers and maybe making them switch shifts to see their impressions. I imagine driving a taxi during the day in Seoul would be completely different from the night. Different risks. Different perks. Different city. Different people getting in and out of the cab. They could also be participants in the documentary lending their experiences to the 5' Ws of the night owl.
답글삭제Do you study better during the day or night? I perform far better late at night when everything is quiet. Sometimes I like to be a night owl and when I was in university that's when I did most of my writing. Lucky for me I didn't have morning exercise;)

답글삭제In fact, I really like to do something during the nighttime, but the fact is I do task more efficiently during daytime because I'm a sorta real sleepyhead. That's too bad really, cuz I enjoy the moments when everything's so quiet in darkness.
