Do you enjoy the dark of night when the crickets chirp or do you prefer to hit the hay early and rise with the birds in search of worms?

Since I don't have anywhere to be in the morning these days...I tend to stay up late into the night. Although even when I was working I couldn't really call myself an early bird. My roommate in college was an early bird...she liked to bound out of bed throw open the curtains and greet the day with a smile...LITERALLY!!!
 
Night owl

Apparently, since birth. Lately, I've been getting to bed around sunrise.

I'm not really an insomniac. I sleep fine. In the morning.
 
I am most creative and motivated at night, but I do appreciate the early morning sunrise...night is my choice of waking hour...
 
Gday PB,

Im a night owl stay up all night long. I'd go to bed but the wife is immune to alarm clocks :) and i toss and turn to much. So at 4:55am its WAKE UP time :) Drive her to work then come home and crawl into bed.

Peter :)
 
Oh, definitely a night owl, and also since birth. Even when I have to conform to an early schedule for awhile, my body will go immediately back to its night owl hours at the first opportunity - even if I'm up nearly 24 hours in a row, I just naturally go back to that night schedule. I'm helpless to change...
 
BOTH!

Depends on the day of the week, whether or not I decide to actually do some work the next day for a client. If I was wealthy beyond belief, then I would sleep even less than I aleady do, witness the fact that I'm posting at 4:23am on this one.

Oh well, starting this weekend, I get 3 weeks of sleep whenever I want it, more like need it...

Wow! Look at all of these Night Owls...

You hit on things that have always been in my life, too...My mom used to make me go to bed so early, and I'd lay awake for hours thinking about all kinds of stuff...then she'd try to wake me in the morning to little avail...Some people are Manic Depressives who just don't ever want to wake up...Then there'z us night owls who are just beginning to Dream while the Rat Race is just cranking up...I live from Sunset to Sunrise...They're both so Beautiful...:cool:
 
Quiet smiles, I'm with you

I can do the morning thing, if forced. But, it never lasts.

I got to sleep early a few nights ago (about 1 am). Got up at 8am. That night, I didn't get to bed until 6am. That's just my cycle, no matter how much I tire myself out, exercise, etc. I'm just a nighttime kid.
 
Hopeless Early bird. I'm up at 4am every day. My alarm clock is set at the lowest volume and I wake up with little problem. Every now and again, I hit snooze without waking, but that is seldom. 9 times out of 10, I'm alseep before 9pm. I coundn't stay awake if my life depended on it. :)
 
Hi, Sweet Cherry...

Cum 4 am, do you remember your Dreams? Do you log onto Lit?:)
 
Demian, I'm up at 4, grab a soda and get that fix out of the way. The it's online and into ICQ for my morning dose of my lover, check my email and get to Lit. It's pretty much a typical day. Then once 6am rolls around, the day begins in earnest when the demons begin to rise. Nothing like a cranky 3 1/2 yr old demon to start a day off with. :)

And trust me, you don't wanna know my dreams. Last one that really stands out in my mind, a tornado ripped thru an apartment building I was visiting and it tore the head off a girl and dropped it into my lap. I woke from that one in a cold sweat. *shivers*
 
Sounds like the 9th Configuration...

I struggle to have sex in my Dreams...And I run in slow Motion, and I can't call out for help...when I do, my friends laugh at my Nightmares:cool:
 
Night Owl. I do better work in the evening after everyone else has left the office. I get up for work in the morning, but spend time here first to actually wake up before I go in.
 
Night Owl

But I'm in a 5 step program to change that.

1 bed time ... sigh I know
2 you'll hate me in the morning ... no I won't
3 time to hit the hay ... 5 more minutes
4 thought you said 5 more minutes? ... so I lied
5 nite ... ok I'm going



:rolleyes:
 
Have been a night owl for as long as I can remember.

Been working nothing but 3rd shifts since I was 18, and I always stay up late anyways, so I figured, why not get paid for it, lol.

I still greet the day though, I watch the sunrise each and every day. Then, like 3 hours after that, I'll hit the sack.
 
I am a night owl. But I have some early classes (early for me anyway!) I usually sleep 1am-9am.

Wow - I thought I was the only one... [tears welling up in my eyes]... It's so good to know there are others like me.
