Hypothetically speaking, if a Very Nocturnal Person were to be scheduled for an interview on a morning drive time radio show and had to be at the studio at 6:20AM, should our hypothetical Very Nocturnal Person spend the next few weeks trying desperately to reset their body clock? Or should they just stay up all night on the day of the interview? Especially considering the Very Nocturnal Person usually doesn't fall asleep until 3AM anyway.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

This. The interview will be extra fun because of all the caffeine you'll be jazzed up on.

I tried to make that sentence not end with a preposition, then I realized I was insane.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I agree with Zenkitty.

Due to the extra caffeine up on which you will be jazzed?

If you have to be at the studio at 6:20, you probably have to be awake by 4 or so, which is only an hour after you go to bed. Might as well power through. Or you could try getting up early the day before so that you'll be tired enough to go to sleep early.

Ah, if only that trick worked on me. The few times I've tried that, I've gone to bed early and laid there exhausted, but unable to fall asleep.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
As a another Very Nocturnal Person, I say stay up. It takes me a couple of months to reset to School Time. No way I could do it in a week let alone a couple of nights.
In fact, my body clock is just now starting to adjust not scream in horror at waking up at 5:15.

I don't even like the idea that 6:20 a.m. exists.
It would be bad to strangle a client's marketing person, wouldn't it?
