Dr. Alia Shawkat says "We all really hate the chronic morning person that sits at the desk next to us. I mean, who in their right mind is happy in the morning. It just doesn't make sense". She adds "the morning is absolutely the worst time of the day. It's the time of the day when you look ahead and realize there's all these things that you need to accomplish, and you don't really want to. This feeling is debilitating for 99% of people"...
Alia Shawkat is not a Doctor per se |
She goes on to explain the psych evaluation by saying "200% (Dr. Shawkat got a Crocodile in math) of the individuals who called themselves 'morning people' have a disturbing outlook on life. They repeatedly referred to their overall situation as 'Awesome'. They repeated the phrase 'things are great' like a mantra in our sessions with them. Our psychologists were dumbfounded. We asked them over and over to tell us what is bothering them and they relentlessly answered the question by saying 'Really, nothing is wrong. I'm totally fine'. We also asked them what they think the future holds for things like North American Politics, the Media, Science, Cancer, Death, Religion, etc. and their answers were usually something like 'Yeah, you know I'm sure we'll work that out. People are smart".
One psychological consultant believed strongly that these individuals were "from another planet". He also asked "have these people watched the news or ever been outside". Another consultant called the group of morning persons "completely insane and under-medicated".
