Are you a morning or evening person?

Today's post by Thriftstorequeen got me wondering about who in this gang are morning people and who are late nighters. I suppose I could tell a lot just by looking at the times of your postings!!

I'm actually both a morning/evening person.... and completely unproductive in the afternoon --- I'm a siesta napper!

Last year I had a couple of months off from work and my dh was working night shift. I loved it! I stayed up all night into the morning, and slept in the afternoon when he did. It felt like a natural rhythm thing for me.

I think life would be a little easier if I could be like 'normal' people, awake in the morning, alert all day, and in bed at 9:00 p.m. Guess I'm a weirdo

I'm definitely an evening person. I've never really been a morning person, although I've tried. I envy those who are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when they awaken.

I will never figure this out. I can't ever get myself to bed early, but I hate sleeping in. All I know is I'm not an afternoon person. If I could, I'd sleep twice a day: once from 1-6am or something, and again from 2-5pm.

I am a morning person.

I am a morning person, much to the dismay of those around me. I usually wake up naturally at about 5 am and I am raring to go. This is good since I have to be at work by 7:15.

In the evening I crash hard. Chloe (my 12 year old) is excited if I make it til 9, and many is the night that she rolls her eyes and wakes me up to go to bed.

Morning. I always have been. It hurts me to stay up late.

I am definately a morning person. It use to be that I needed very little sleep and 5 to 5 1/2 hours was a solid, good nights sleep. My scheaduale thinks that this should still be enough but my body says that it needs about 7 most nights. However, I almost am never able to "sleep in" no matter how late I go to bed. Sleeping in for me is 7:30. Most of the time my body is ready to go around 6. Even as a teenager I was always up by 8 and could never understand how my friends could sleep till "NOON ?????" on th weekends.

Night owl, here. Morning? Grrrrr.

Another morning person here and I have been since childhood. My dad used to get up super early to drink coffee before leaving for work, and I would make sure I woke up at the same time so I could spend ~My~ time with him alone. I don't need an alarm clock, never have and my eye's just pop open at 5 am every morning. I don't nap during the day, unless I feel bad, and I go to bed anywhere between 9 & 12 each night. Hubby is a early riser too.
