How night binoculars work?

Optics in night vision binoculars amplifies the existing light. They use not only light visible to our eyes, but also infrared spectrum. Quality night binoculars have an infrared illuminator which increases the available infrared light.

All things you see through a night binocular appear green, because you don't look directly at the objects but at their image on a phosphor screen.

Depending on light conditions at night binoculars perform differently. You will not see anything if there is no single star in the sky and no street lights. The lower the light situation is, the more powerful night binocular you will need. You can get Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 night binoculars. Gen stands for generation. Gen 1 are all right during a night with full moon and bright stars. For a crescent moon Gen 2 works better, and for a dark cloudy night you will need Gen 3 binoculars. Generation 1 night binoculars are affordable, Gen 2 and Gen 3 binoculars are much more expensive.

Are you a morning person or a night owl? If your morning person, why?

I detest getting up in the morning and I have more energy at night, but I would like to change. Any suggestions or should I just live with it?

Night Owl definitely. I just naturally fight sleep! My family called me HOOT OWL when I was a small child. I am 45 and I still want to stay up all night. I clean house, sew, paint etc. It is so peaceful & quiet. My husband does not like it at all. I wish I could stop too. I work some days and some nights and it is so hard to stay on one schedule. When I do sleep at night I constatnly wake up thinking what if the house catches on fire, what if a burglar breaks in, what if... I'd just rather be awake while everybody sleeps and then when the world is awake it is my turn to sleep. I think I must be crazy!! I'm normally not grouch in the morning though, I am actually chipper in the morning but get grouchier as the day progresses! I need a nap.
I just don't care anymore and do what I feel like doing!

Study sheds light on 'teenage night owl syndrome'
Students are going to sleep later and may be underperforming in class because they're not getting enough bright light in the morning, researchers say. Better school lighting may help. Riding in school buses in the early morning, then sitting in poorly lighted classrooms are the main reasons students have trouble getting to sleep at night, according to new research.
