Physcis career for a non morning person?

[PookDo]

yet another silly question but can you have a career as physicist and work in the afternoons or evenings? It has become obvious that I am not very productive before 1 or 2pm

the less flexible you are, the less opportunities you have. But yes, it's possible. However, there will inevitably be meetings scheduled for early in the morning that you will have to make. I am most productive in the night time, doing theoretical, analytical, and literature research; then I show up to the lab in the afternoon with my mind already made up about what I"m going to do so I don't have to think so much during the day. But I have no problems coming in early if I need to for long experiments or meetings.

Absolutely, it is possible to have a successful career in physics while working in the afternoons or evenings. Many physicists work in research laboratories or academic institutions, where they have more flexibility in their schedules. Additionally, there are many different branches of physics, such as astrophysics or biophysics, that may have different work hours depending on the nature of the research being conducted. As long as you are able to meet the demands of your job and produce quality work, the specific hours you work should not hinder your success as a physicist. It is important to find a career path that allows you to work during your most productive hours, as this can greatly impact your overall satisfaction and success in your field.
