Unless going to bed at 4 AM is considered being a 'morning' person, I am definitely nocturnal. Usually stay up until at least 1 AM. No matter when I go to bed, I read my kindle for a hour or so. The 2 things I might arise early for: catching a plane and going fishing. So enjoy the luxury of staying up as late as I want, & getting up as late as I want. :-D

used to be a night owl~stayed up reading til 2 or 3 every morning. Then I hit 50, now i get up at 3am or so. very strange.

I'm a morning person.

Always have been, even when I was a little kid....and I think that's the trick. You have to be wired that way from the get-go.

I don't think anyone can "become" a morning person or a night person, its just how you are.

I've never EVER been a morning person. I've always claimed that the reason my daughter survived infancy was that by the time she was three days old, she was sleeping from midnight until 8AM. How could I not love her?

Now, mind you, this does NOT mean I'm not up. The question was whether I was a morning person, not what time I got up, after all. I don't sleep much, and if I go to sleep at 11PM (which I often do in the winter), I wake up around 3AM, or 4Am, at the latest. I watch television (I love Up To The Minute and World News Now). Once in a while I'll get out of bed and come visit the computers.

I'm physically dangerous if it's too early in the day (except for children and other truly defenseless creatures). Lucky for the world that I'm five foot mumble, and appropriately sized. I drink coffee once my head has cleared enough to start it. I don't usually make coffee until at least 4:30AM, and usually later.

[More (you knew there would be)]

[Continued]

I drink that all important first cup of coffee, and then get the second cup. It often takes an hour or more to drink those two cups. This is half a twelve cup pot of coffee, for perspective, and I put just under the amount recommended for a pot of coffee.

I love coffee.

I'll consider breakfast, but it usually takes at least an hour or more before I want it.

I'm just not very good with people until around 10AM. I have been extraordinarily fortunate in that most of the time, my work has permitted me the luxury of working natural (to me) hours, rather than expecting me to be in at 9 (or worse, 7 or 8). I worked early hours while my daughter was growing up, so that I could be home when she needed me, but it wasn't natural, and it was a relief to not do it.

Not a morning person. Not cheerful, not pleasant, not fun. I'm fun NOW; *now works for me. I love the afternoon and the evening.

Morning is for the birds. ;-}

@mechanicsc: sorry, I'll disagree.

When I was younger I was definitely not a morning person, and had to resort to two (2) separate alarm clocks in order to get up in time to get to work.

When I got into my 40s I started waking up before the alarm clocks went off, and now that I'm past 50 I usually wake up at 5 am every morning regardless of when the alarm clock is set to go off.

Of course I'm in bed by 9 pm most nights, and asleep by 9:30 pm.

:)

I'm definitely a night owl. I'm currently student teaching and I have an hour commute, so I've had to do some serious adjustments to my schedule. Unfortunately, I'll go to bed at 10 pm and still not be able to fall asleep until midnight. My cooperating teacher has even noticed that it takes me awhile to "wake up" in the mornings. Luckily I don't have to do any teaching during the first block...

For most of my life it was agony to get out of bed in the morning, but within an hour (and a significant application of coffee) I was alert and good to go. I dragged in to work at the last possible minute, but did my best thinking in the morning.

When my son was on a school schedule with no after school care, I adjusted (painfully) to rising for an earlier shift so I could meet his afternoon bus at home. That was nearly 20 years ago, but it stuck. I wake by 6:00 even on weekends and vacations now. But these days the early hours give me some alone time, before DH starts talking, before the pets need attention, etc. I drink my coffee, check the Woot! sites, read the news, and generally piddle around enough that I barely make it to work be 8:30 on weekdays. Once I'm at work, I find that I'm good with interesting stuff most of the day, but boring or intense put-my-head-down-and-plow-through-it work has to wait for late afternoon. What does this make me?

I have always been a morning person,always sleep at 10pm and get up at 7am!

I have never been a morning person; however, for most all of my workng years I had to be at the office by 7-8 AM (never had a 9 to 5!}. there was only one period of time when my daughter was born to age 4, I worked at night for a management consulting firm that published a monthly newsletter. It was exhausting, because of course I rose early to take care of her and spent the day as a fulltime mom and housekeeper. I never could get comfortable with the need to start the day so darned early. Oh. I was and am always up by 6am, but I do like to take some time for a civilized start which means a nice breakfast, cup of coffee and nowadays being on the computer (was always reading the newspaper - still even do that, but only for local news usually) Being retired is great as I can now be mdre on my own schedule - but horror of horrors, a lot of activities start at 8am. I just don't participate.

hell no.

Not a morning person. Never have been and I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon. Son isn't either.

That's why nights at Woot and I get along so well. :D

I wake up at 6:40 and go to bed at 23:00. I think it is good.
