Sunday 10/7 Question of the day

[New England Eeyore]

I'm never up early enough to be the first one to post, but for some reason I woke up early and couldn't fall back asleep today.

In that line, here's my question - are you a morning person, night owl or somewhere in between?

I am so NOT a morning person. I would never get up before 8:30 if I had the choice. Unfortunately, on work days I have to be there at 8. My coworkers know not to engage me in heavy conversation before 9. I can be a grump!

I am a night owl. I am most productive, whether it's scrapbooking or cleaning the house or anything like that, after the sun goes down.

The funny thing is I wasn't always this way - in college I commuted to school and always seemed to have 8am classes, which meant getting up at 5am and that never bothered me. I can't imagine now how I did that for so many years! Now the only time I get up that early is if I'm going to Disney!

I am most definitely a morning person. I am usually awake no later than 6:00. I love the quiet in the house in the am, before I wake everyone up. On the same token, by waking up so early, I am usually alseep by 10:00. Last night I fell asleep at 8:30!

Morning person here too...

When I was in college we had to go on rotation early, take the bus at 0530am, to be there for 6am rounds. I have to say I was hated

But I'm in bed early too...so I'm lovin this new tivo thingie that I got from the cable peoples. All the shows that everyone is talking about are on late (and I was always falling asleep), now I can watch them in the morning I mean is that cool or what?

Now, when I work, my shift is 3-11...so by 9:30, my hiney is dragging...and everyone else is perky (and 20yrs younger too)... Good thing I'm part time

I'm an early riser but NOT a morning person. Bad combination. I'm up between 6 and 7, but not happy until 8 or 9.

I am a morning person! up at 5:00 am weekdays to do my husbands lunch, coffee and water jug. I get him out the door and then i hop on the computer do my usual thing. I read the obits and the dis and just as i'm ready to shut it off, my ds is getting up and we start our day together!

I am a morning person. I am out of bed by 5;30 on weekdays (rarely waiting for the alarm. I spend some time with God, pack lunches, and the head off to exercise. I get home and get ready and still make it to school by 7am.

On weekends I normally stay in bed until about 6.

On the other hand I have to get to bed by 11 or I can be fairly cranky the next day since my body doesn't know how to sleep in.

My mom has always told me that when i was little (4-5) I would come into her room at about 6 every morning, open the curtains wide and say "Mom it is time to get up, it is a beautiful brand new day." My mother woho wasn't a morning person never appreciated this.

I actually remember the 3 days I have slept in past 10am in my life. Two of them were days when I was really sick and the other was at age 4 when we stayed out at some kind of amusement park until 1 am. I slept in till lunchtime that day and have never done that successfully again.

I'm not either really. I prefer to sleep in until 7:30 or 8:00 and be in bed by 11. I need my 8 hours of sleep but even if I go to bed early, I prefer to lay in bed until at least 7:30.

Night person here. With DH is gone I don't sleep so typically I am up til 2-3 AM, which is when I catch up on all my TV. Unfortunately the kids are all morning people and DH is also a night person so school days are a challenge. DH is like waking the dead so I"m stuck doing the morning routine alone.
In my family it comes in cycles kids are morning, I'm night, my parents are morning, my grandparents are night. Weird!

I am most definitely a morning person. I am usually awake no later than 6:00. I love the quiet in the house in the am, before I wake everyone up. On the same token, by waking up so early, I am usually alseep by 10:00. Last night I fell asleep at 8:30!

note to self
Self - get in trouble after 10 pm so Dyan doesn't catch me......

I'm a night person.. I can get so much more done at night.. but than again for ions I worked night shift...
My family tries not to ask too many questions before 10AM on the weekends.. I do get up and fix breakfast during the week for the kids before school (which we go to school on Monday. ) I have one friend who won't call and talk to me till after 10am... I'm usually nice but not really thrilled to be on the phone!

Me too! The worst is when the night owl takes over yet the morning person has to be up at 5:30. That's not a good day.

Though I'm a morning person when I'm at WDW - hmmm.

I always say that if I am up before 9, Disney better be involved. But I can't really stay up late either. In college I was definitely a night owl, but now it's a struggle to make it until 11.

DH and I are morning people, during the week he is up at 3:30, needless to say we go to bed early. Sleeping to 7:00 am is sleeping in on the weekend.

I've always been kind of in between. In college, I took 8am classes so that I could leave campus before 3 on Fridays. Talk about empty classes!! LOL I've never been much for staying up past midnight, but if I'm still awake at 1am I'm better off not going to bed at all. I'm up by 7 most days (6 when DD needed to get the bus) but the whole household is on notice to wake me if I slept past 8...because my blood sugar gets all messed up.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Look it's a 3 way tie with 4 each!!

I am a night owl living an early bird life.

I get my best ideas later at night, but I can't stay up because I need my sleep. I am usually in bed by 10 the latest so I can get enough sleep to wake up at 6:30. 5:45 on Fridays to take the little guys for allergy shots.

I am somewhere in between - used to be a night owl when DH and I were in the restaurant business. Then when I had DD I become a morning person. I am somewhere in between now. I get up around 7 and go to bed around 11.

I'm a morning person. I naturally get up around 5am. I set the alarm for 5:30 but it rarely goes off. I get up and turn it off beforehand. On the weekends if I'm still in bed at 7 thats late for me. I'm usually in bed by 10pm. Luckily I'm one that once I roll over I'm out. DH is a night owl though. I'm leaving in the morning and he's just starting to stir. Hopefully with us being opposites it will come in handy once the baby gets here. LOL
