夜型
Significado: A night owl; someone who naturally functions better and stays active late at night.
夜型 is used to describe people whose biological clock naturally leans toward late-night activity. In Japan's work culture that traditionally values early risers, calling yourself 夜型 can carry a hint of self-deprecation or even pride among creative types. It's commonly used as a self-identifier and often paired with its opposite 朝型 in lifestyle discussions.

- 夜型の人って深夜にめっちゃクリエイティブになるよね。 夜猫子型的人到了深夜创造力会爆发呢。Las personas nocturnas se vuelven súper creativas a altas horas de la noche, ¿verdad?야행성인 사람들은 심야에 엄청 창의적이 되잖아.
