The October Country
That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain. Ray Bradbury

🌕"Are you a morning person or a night owl? 🌕
"A 2007 survey of over 55,000 people found that chronotypes tend to follow a normal distribution, with extreme morning and evening types on the far ends."

"When Café Society opened as a cabaret in Greenwich Village in December 1938, it was one of the few clubs in America where white and black patrons could sit shoulder to shoulder. It also became the launching pad for major jazz and blues starts like Billie Holiday.
to frequent jazz clubs, a person needed a lifestyle suited to the nightlife: The first show started at 9:30, followed by a second at midnight and a third at 2:30 a.m. So, patrons of all races were welcome, assuming they had disposable income and working hours that made this type of nightlife feasible.pleasekillme

"The very first nightclubs appeared in New York City in the 1840s and 1850s, including McGlory's and the
Haymarket. They enjoyed a national reputation for vaudeville, live music, and dance. Pre-World War II Soho in London offered café society, cabaret, burlesque jazz, and bohemian clubs similar to those in New York, Paris, and Berlin.[16] Nightclubs were tied very much to the idea of "high society", via famous organisations such as the Kit Kat Club[17] (which took its name from the political Kit-Cat Club in Pall Mall, London) and the Café de Paris. The 43 Club on Gerrard Street was run by Kate Meyrick the 'Night Club Queen'. Meyrick ran several London nightclubs in the 1920s and early 1930s, during which time she served prison sentences for breaching licensing laws and bribing a police officer. In this era, nightclubbing was generally the preserve of those with money. en.m.wikipedia.org/....

A lark v. owl study published the following year looked more closely at the question of brains. Psychologist Richard D. Roberts of the University of Sydney and Patrick C. Kyllonen of the Air Force Research Lab, measured the chronotype of 420 test participants then gave them two intelligence tests. Together the tasks measured vocational knowledge (e.g. mechanics and engineering), general math and reading comprehension, and working memory and processing speed.
The results, though not overwhelming, did come down slightly on the side of evening types. Night owls outperformed morning larks on most of the intelligence measures—with significant differences on working memory and processing speed. Especially interesting was that the finding seemed to hold up even when the cognitive tests were taken in the morning.
“The results indicate that, contrary to conventional folk wisdom, evening-types are more likely to have higher intelligence scores,” Roberts and Kyllonen reported in a 1999 issue of Personality and Individual Differences. Wise old owl, indeed.

Creativity?
When we reach night time, this side of our brain becomes more active because less energy is being used to power the rest of our brain. This is partly what allows creative surges to happen.Jan 14, 2021
