According to research on sleep patterns, adolescent and young adult years tend to be the peak period for being an "owl" (having a preference for staying up late and sleeping in later). However, it is possible for sleep patterns to shift and change throughout adulthood, especially as responsibilities and lifestyles change. Therefore, it is likely that Joshua is currently an owl but may or may not continue this pattern in the future.
