Morning Person or Night Owl?
(171 posts)
Are you more of a morning person, awake and energized early in the morning, or are you a night owl, up late at night and never ready to wake up before 10:00am?

I am most definitely a night owl - I can never fall asleep at night.
04/27/2011
Total night owl. I love working 2nd and 3rd shifts. Mornings are just painful.
04/27/2011
We're on a schedule that is more in line with European time

Major night owl here. Of course, my man and I both deal with wicked insomnia from time to time, so that doesn't help with the going to bed early. But even when we aren't in full blown insomniac mode, we still stay up late. And mornings are the worst! lol
04/27/2011
Definite night owl (she says as she looks at her clock which reads 2:16 am). I should probably go to bed since I have school at 10 am! hehe
04/27/2011
I'm a night owl, definitely! That's what I need all these toys for! Gotta have someting to do in your spare time
04/27/2011
Is it odd to say both? I am always switching. I have the most ping-pong schedule ever.
04/27/2011
I'm definitely not a morning person. I stay up late and rely on naps after work to get me through the rest of the day. I should really change this bad habit.
04/27/2011
Yup, night owl
04/27/2011
I used to be a night owl... mostly when I worked from 4pm to midnight.
Now I'm lucky if I can sleep until 530-6am.

I'm usually a night owl. I do my best thinking/reading/clean ing/etc at night. However, with two rugrats who have me up by 6:30-7:00 am daily, I don't usually get to indulge. I'm not a morning person either. I'm cranky until about 10 a.m. and I MUST have a huge cup of coffee!
04/27/2011
I picked other. I have to wake up early weekday mornings to see my husband and son out the door and walk my dog. However, I like to take things easy and don't go to bed till 3-4 am. I know it's a bad habit to only have approximately 4 hours sleep, but it's so hard to correct. I usually sleep-in until 10 or 11 am on the weekends to makeup for it.
04/27/2011
I'm definitely a night owl, but recently I've been getting up early for finals.
04/27/2011
I'm most definitely not a morning person, and I hate getting out of bed at all most days. I'd much rather stay up late and sleep in, any day of the week. My husband on the other hand, very much a morning person. He'll normally get up on his own between 7 and 9. Sometimes he'll stay in bed with me while I sleep, sometimes he gets up and starts his day and lets me sleep. I appreciate that he doesn't make me get up with him, lol.
04/27/2011
Total night owl here. I hate morning. I wish I could spring out of bed, happy to be alive and taking on the world at 7am but my reality is that I'd rather be awake until 11 or midnight and sleep in to accommodate it.
04/27/2011
Night owl!
04/27/2011
Complete night owl. At times I'm virtually a vampire.

I naturally tend towards being a night owl. I'm a morning person by necessity sometimes, and sometimes I really like waking up in the morning to garden, or do other things...
04/27/2011
I'm more of a night owl in general, but when it comes to doing papers, I'm much more efficient in the early morning than late at night.
04/27/2011
I'm a night owl, but I have to be up early and have to try to sleep at night:-/
04/27/2011
definitely a night owl
04/27/2011
Night owl. But, on the rare occasion I can pull myself out of bed bright and early, my day is usually super productive and good. There are so many hours before noon to take advantage of! Haha

04/28/2011
A little bit of both. I tend to stay up until at least midnight (usually almost 1:00) but get up at 6 am. I really have difficulty sleeping past 8 or 9 am, unless I am sick or went to bed really late (like 4 or 5 am).
04/28/2011
Night owl, which often gets me in trouble with my studies.
04/28/2011
I have a night time job for a few more weeks, so I have to be up all night anyway. I'll probably start going to bed around 2 am again once I start working during the day.
04/28/2011
Unless I have to up for something, my alarm is set for 10am for my b/c. Occasionally Ill sleep later.
04/28/2011
I'm totally a night owl.
04/28/2011
Night owl and I totally cannot stand it. I love getting up early but apparently my internal clock doesn't recognize sunshine...
Husband is on 3rd shift, and I am an insomniac.

Night owl!
I just took a 12hr night shift too, and I am hoping my natural inclining to go to bed past 2AM will help me make the transition.

total night owl, my son is autistic and has insomnia, and after 5yrs with him and some medicine side effects I suffer from insomnia as well. Its not unusual for me to still be awake at 6am
04/28/2011
Night owl - I hate mornings!
04/28/2011
It is the only time I am a morning person.
04/28/2011
I'm all over that night owl-ness
04/28/2011
I'm such a night owl I tend to be until 3-5AM and wake up anythere between 10AM and 1PM
04/29/2011
I can get up in the morning, but I'd rather not. I enjoy my sleep and it generally come later than mosts.
04/29/2011
I stay up pretty late when I can, but I can almost never sleep in past 8 or 9.
04/29/2011
Night!
05/11/2011
I prefer the morning.
05/11/2011
night definitely. although once I'm up early I like having the whole day.
09/23/2011
I am most definitely a night owl!
09/23/2011
I do stay up late because I work second shift but I am always in bed by two and I wake up before ten. Not necessarily the earliest bird but wouldn't consider myself to be a night owl either.

Night Owl. . . my family has my twin nephews convinced I'm a vampire who sleeps upside down hanging from hooks in the corner of my room.
09/23/2011
I'm a bit of both. I prefer not to, but I can, get up early and go about with a good semblance of consciousness. But I do prefer the night-time. It feels a lot more ... magical, than the day time. Besides, my best ideas come to me at night. Remembering them in the morning, however, is another matter.
09/23/2011
Both, oddly enough. No matter how late I stay up (I can pass three hours without realizing it, just walking in circles or pacing back and forth letting my mind wander), but I have an annoyingly accurate body clock. I will wake up a few minutes before my alarm, even on days I CAN sleep in. Grrr.
09/23/2011
HATE mornings!
09/23/2011
TOTAL nightowl.
09/23/2011
Definitely not a morning person.
09/23/2011
Definitely a night owl. I don't even know why I'm up right now actually.
09/23/2011
I used to be such a morning person. Now I am def a night owl!l
09/23/2011
Hardcore night owl.
If I'm wide awake at 9 AM AND in a good mood, then it's a rare incident indeed.

I just simply cant get up in the morning. I usually end up working late so when I get home its already 9 ish after dinner its 10:30 so the only time I have for me is 10:30 on. Its kinda a vicious cycle because I want to start getting up earlier to make an effort to start working out again.

I'm a major night owl. I'm still awake when the kids are going off to school! Lol. When I've got them ready and sent to school I take my medication and sleep for a few hours then work, school work in the evening and then we do something with the kids before bedtime... like take them driving! Lol. That was our activity tonight and last night and I was skeerd! Lol. Then we get their homework and all done and I finish the house cleaning.
So I'm up from the afternoon until 6-10 am.

Night Owl for sure, I am barely alive in the morning.
09/25/2011
I'm becoming more of a morning person lately, but I'm usually much better at night!

I've always been a night person, although I'm trying to work on getting up earlier in the morning.

Before 10AM? Make that noon.
10/13/2011
I'm totally a night owl except in a single circumstance.
If I have to anything horse related, ride, visit, watch, clean, show, whatever, I magically become able to get up at the crack ass of dawn with no problem.
9 am chem? Not a chance.

Night owl, for sure! I usually go to bed around 5am.
10/14/2011
Night owl
10/14/2011
I have to be both because of my job. Some days I wake up around 4 in the morning and work for 12 hours. Other days I start in the early afternoon and work until midnight. And sometimes over the course of a few days, I will transition for late night to early days. When I am home, I prefer to wake up no later than 9 to get started for the day. Unless I was up really late the night before.
10/25/2011
Night owl. I sometimes don't even go to sleep until 10Am ! Lol Does that make me both? =/
10/25/2011
I say other because I am usually a night owl, but because my kids have to be up for school at 6:45 am, I've learned to get up early. I would rather sleep late but kids come first.
10/25/2011
Definitely a night owl.
10/25/2011
While I love those first few hours after the sun rises, when there are very few people around, it's not worth going to bed early, or waking up early.
10/25/2011
I am a total night owl, yet I am always up before 10am which can suck since I am not fond of mornings and don't feel human till I actually wake up.
10/25/2011
As an owl I find this discussion offensive! ...I think...maybe...?
10/25/2011
While I don't have the best sleep habits, I absolutely love being one of the first people out on the streets in the morning before the sun has fully risen. It puts me in a happy place.

Night Owl, if I didn't have to conform to society's workdays I would probably wake up at noon lol
10/27/2011
Night Owl. I feel sick if I try to wake up early nomatter how much sleep I've gotten.
10/29/2011
Night owl!! I do have a job though, so only can really take advantage of my sleep habits on the weekends.
10/29/2011
I'm a night owl, but am often required to get up long before 10am, which leads to short periods of sleep and copious amount of energy drinks.
10/29/2011
I've always been a night owl! i love being up at night, it seems like the day last a lot longer LOL. my sleeping pattern always reverts back to nightime and stays there the longest, when i'm happiest
10/30/2011
I am so nocturnal, ha. Lately I've been getting up as the sun goes down.
12/11/2011
If I didn't have to work in the day I would be up in the night.
03/23/2012
I am always up late. I hate mornings.

Neither! These days I'm usually in bed by 11pm. I hate waking up early but I do it to get my daughters day started.
05/08/2012
When I get enough sleep instead of staying up to be social, I am a morning person

Most definitely a night owl..!

Night dragon! But it's before 9 that I have a hard time waking up, not 10. Nine is fine. XD I got up at 9:20 today.
05/08/2012
I don't consider myself either of these. I'm usually in bed by 11 at the latest, but I don't like to get up before 8am.
05/08/2012
I'm more of a night owl, but lately I find myself waking up early in order to talk to my significant other before he goes to work.

I like the idea of getting up early to accomplish a lot more during the day, but it doesnt happen lol I am a night owl.
05/10/2012
I find during my period I have trouble falling asleep so my sleep schedule gets messed up for a while. I think I stay up late about half the month and get up early the other half.

10/15/2012
I'm sort of both... though I usually find it easier to stay awake at night than to wake up in the morning.
10/15/2012
I went with other since I like staying up late, but I'm always up very early for class or work.
10/16/2012
I get up at 6:30 almost every day
12/18/2012
I'm not exactly a morning person. Getting out of bed is always a lengthy struggle for me, and I'm always tempted to stay up late. That being said, I would always wake up at 5:45 for day shifts when I was working (with the aid of three alarms).
Let's put it this way. Unless I have somewhere to go, and not being late would have a very adverse effect, I tend to struggle to get up. It's amazing how my half-asleep brain can prioritize.

02/13/2013

02/13/2013
I am more myself at night, but I love the sunshine. I just get more creative and active after 10pm.

02/13/2013
I definitely get the most done in the morning when it's bright and early. Nothing like having my OJ in the morning and getting to work.
02/13/2013
I've been a night owl since I was a teenager. My favorite thing about working from home now is that I can go to bed at my preferred time (between midnight and 1 AM), get a full night's sleep and still be to work at 9 AM. I'm not really "awake" until about 11, though...
02/13/2013
Night owl, that definitely relates to me.
02/13/2013

02/14/2013
I'm both! I just loathe afternoons and tend to sleep through them.
02/14/2013
It depends, sometimes its so great to get up at 7 and have the whole day ahead of you. I like to get up early so I can lounge around for a few hours and not feel like I wasted my day. But sometimes I just want to stay in bed and sleep, I have interesting dreams when I sleep in!
02/14/2013
I think my job has forced me to embrace the morning

I'm definitely a night owl.. I hate waking up in the morning... I'm usually grumpy. ... plus my bed feels sooo amazing just waking up.

I'm naturally a night owl. I love staying up into the wee hours and sleeping in. But work and other obligations have forced me to be the kind of person who is always in bed by midnight and usually up around 8.
