MORNING OR NIGHT PERSON

I see a bunch of people (night owls, I'll call you) up late and playing on Gather.  I am a morning person, but I stay up late working oftentimes. 

How many of you are night people, and why?  How many morning people (my kind of people), and why?

How many are morning people but need caffeine to get started?  Food?  TV?  Quiet time?

I prefer to be a night person, but I have to get up early and take care of the family. If I can't sleep, though, I will log in to Gather during the wee hours. I figure that instead of laying there tossing and turning and not sleeping, I might as well be doing something constructive.

I don't necessarily need caffeine in the morning but I really LIKE my morning coffee.

I am so not a morning person. I may be out of bed but my eyes are usually closed for the first hour. I'm not fully awake until noon. lol I dont drink coffee, maybe I should start.

Marci, you are like my husband. He's not into talking when he gets up, and I chatter, chatter, chatter!

I'm non stop from about 5am to midnight, with several nights a week I'm up to 1am. Just always been that way, and never been a coffee drinker, can't get over the bitter taste, but then again I don't drink beer either for the same reason.

Night person!

I was a morning person when I was little, but switched over in my teenage years.

I'm more of a night person these days. I can't go to sleep at night and have fits when I have to get up in the morning.
Maybe, after having been a missionary on nearly the other side of the world and having worked night shifts for a few years of my life, my sleep cycle is messed up. Because I do love mornings. They are nicer and more peaceful. If I can force myself to get up and see them.

I love the quiet of the mornings, too. The afternoons still seem to be filled with rushing around, getting things done, etc.

I am a night person, but my BF is a morning person. That has made me change a bit, but I am still up until 1 or 2 everynight. Now, I am awake by 7 AM though.

I am a morning person, left to do what I want I would easily become a night person. I sleep my best in the early morning, think better at night. But I am on the hubby day hours, my daughter & the two grandchildren that live with me, need to be taken to school, picked up, you name it, maybe some day.
interesting article, thanks for sharing.
God Bless

To be honest, I'm not really either! I tend to be asleep before midnight and I like to sleep in when I can! :)

I'm a night person or a morning person - but not both at one time :) And definately need caffeine to jump start either one!

I am a morning person. Almost always beat the sun up. Have to have my coffee first and appreciate the quiet time before the day begins.
Joe W. Oct 18, 2007, 12:54pm EDT
Both - I'm usually up at 5:30am and go to bed between midnight & 1AM.

I like to be a night person, but it is killing me LOL! My kids like to wake up at 8:30AM & I went to bed around 3:30 AM. I was just thinking today that I need to switch to morning & then I can have free time in the morning & be ready for the kids when they get up....but ugggh I love my sleep & yet I don't want to go to bed...maybe cause then I have to start the hard work day all over again... ;o)
Pam L. Oct 18, 2007, 1:31pm EDT
Agreed! No kids in my house anymore!
Shannon S. Oct 18, 2007, 5:02pm EDT
I'm a night person who has to get up fairly early, so now I'm neither...I really like getting to bed early!
