This explains soooo much!

I wish I was a night owl, they seem to have more fun!

Flirt.

I wish I was a night owl, they seem to have more fun!

...them, and blondes (so i've heard)

 

[dongalong]

I'm an evening person but wish I was a morning person - then getting out of bed at 6:30am onm workdays wouldn't be so painful!

 

[The Dragon]

Don't talk to me, don't look at me and don't even breathe heavy within my hearing until my second cup of coffee or I'll be forced to pull your arm out of it's socket and beat you to death with it.

Errrrr... can I be the everything-but-afternoon-person?

(interesting article btw hilaire!)

I'm always bouncy in the mornings, and when I wake up I'm usually immediately attentive. Then after the midday, I tend to grow really sleepy. It's always been like that. And I can't snap out of it. If I have lectures in the afternoon I really have trouble keeping my eyes open, no matter how much I slept the previous night. Then after 7pm, I start being really active again.

During exams I usually always just sleep in the afternoon a couple of hours, then work till 2-3am at night and get a few more hours sleep, then wake up at 7am again.

morning ... but not a happy one, don't even talk to me until I've had my morning tea

 

[b.c.]

By "morning" do you mean around "noonish"?

 

[ghb69]

I told you it is 3:23am and I almost done with my first coffee.


After 30 years of waking at 3:00am when working as a dispatcher for a transportation company, with no alarm I am still up.

 

[SR_Blarney_Frank]

Yeah morning person here - mostly so I don't have to rush around. I hate being late and I hate being in a rush. But I don't rule the world... yet

 

[Bbucko]

When my body is completely free to self-regulate its internal clock, my mind is most alert and I have the most energy between midnight and five AM. I had a "day gig" where I was e-mailed a set of tasks (internet research and some writing, mostly) and deadlines but rarely (if ever) anything vital within a 4-5 hour time frame and certainly nothing due by noon that couldn't be delivered six hours early. I was pretty much on the opposite side of the clock from my employers, but since nothing was ever late, it was never an issue.

I currently work in a bar where my shifts begin at 10:00 PM and end when the lights come on (2:00 or 3:00 AM, depending on the night). People who know me know better than to attempt to contact me before 3:00 PM; if I'm awake I'm a spacey, evil bitch (and occasionally I'm still in bed). Besides, you'd have to knock on my window because my phone is muted until 3:00 or 4:00.

The worst time I ever had as an adult was working a job that required I be there by 6:15 AM: I literally spent the entire day in a coma of brain-fog and nasty retorts. FWIW, I also lost ten pounds, because my feeding cycle wouldn't accomplish the switch, and we won't even begin to discuss my "digestive issues" . That job lasted four of the most painful months of my life, and it took almost a year before I felt "right" again.

Anyone who chirps about noon "not being early" simply doesn't understand that it's the middle of my sleep cycle: plain and simple.

Night owl here, although i am up most mornings at 6am for work, quite ratty..

 

[deleted3782]

I wake up slowly around 7am. I'm always happy-go-lucky to start off the day - its the crap that happens during the day that can put me in a fowl mood. I am probably at my sharpest between 9am and noon, then I wear down after lunchtime - maybe because I rarely eat lunch. I might have a second spike of energy in the late afternoon and early evening...but I tend to get sleepy by 10pm/22h.

Why morning people rule the world | Life & Style

My sister is raring to go in the morning, she's really active in the morning and an early riser no matter what she did the previous night.

On the other hand I'm basically in a coma until about 4 or 5 in the evening and then I come alive with energy and creativity.


Which are you? Morning or Evening person?

I found the article in the original link a bit simplistic. As children we are trained to get up in time for early morning schooling, and the growth spurts of adolescence cause us to need extra hours of sleep that can conflict with that conditioning. And when one is a new parent with infant feeding schedules to contend with, all bets are off.

After raising children, I no longer know if I am a 'morning person' or and 'evening person'. My natural rhythms have been totally subverted by necessity of rousing the family at the times they need to be roused. I get up before the sun, collapse at noon, putter about fixing the evening meal, collapse again, and then use the dark end of the night until my brains stop ticking. Resurface and do it all again. Caffeine helps.

It further complicates things that one of my lovers only sleeps about four hours in twenty-four.

I can get up in the morning and do what I gotta do, but I'm NOT a morning person. I'm use to waking up (although it sucks), but I am not that person you want to talk to or bother in the morning. My parents still haven't learned to NOT talk to me after I wake up lol

I'm definetly a morning person up about 4am everyday weekday or weekend

Morning people most certainly don't rule Silicon Valley, for one.

The old wives tale's "early bird" can get a bucketful of slimy worms. I'll settle for a 09:30 dark chocolate croissant.

I partially agree with this, but in my case it was different. My night-owl status was so strong that even as a child (from age 9 or 10) I couldn't go to sleep before midnight. Mum would send me to bed at 8 or so, but I just couldn't get to sleep for hours. I used to leave my bedroom door open and read by the lounge room light.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

 

[Rikter8]

Morning. Usually up and at em by 5am. Only when sick will I sleep in past 7.
I have difficulty staying awake after 10pm.

I love this, Pendlum! I want to be second mouse!
