Are you a morning person?

Mornings for me I'm usually awake by 5:30ish read for a while watch a bit of news then I'm up and start my day about 7am, habit of a lifetime I guess I'm flagging my 9pm usually in my bed by 10:30. I wish I could enjoy a lay in now and then but its not to be

Morning person definatly,always been up early and when working out of the house by 8am.
I start flagging about 4pm now and could be found having a few zzz's on the sofa prior to making evening meal.
Bedtime is usually about 9.30pm where I watch TV for about an hour if I can keep my eyes open.

More or less the same as Tanith.

Having woken at 5.45 before DH retired, we still do (mostly!) and we watch the morning news while drinking tea and chatting. I can't stay up as late as Tanith though and usually go to bed around 9.30 and read till 10.00 or so!

As a nurse both in training and then fully qualified I was most certainly a Morning person!
Up with the lark,showered,dressed and always on my ward or wherever I may be required a good half hour before the given time.
This gave me that welcome "kick start" to whatever the day brought, and believe you me,even back in the 60`s you still needed to be "right on the ball" at your work place or you would never fit in the work needed.

This started a pattern which happily stayed for many years.
The early morning dawning light and fresh air is surely one of our god given gifts, that we really need to absorb and enjoy??
That first walk can be so refreshing and uplifting.

In fact I cannot even pin point whenever it changed!
........but it did!!

Now I am perpetually half asleep,always soooooooo tired and I am certainly no longer a morning person,I even question if I am even an afternoon one.............whilst most certainly NOT a night person,for I cannot get to my bed early enough these days!

Age and ill health has played a massive part so that probably explains how I am nowadays!

It will be interesting reading these various differences.

Not mornings, even the postman knows ‘ I don’t do before 9.30am’. Get up 9.20am after listening to ‘ToDay’ for an hour and looking in GN. Bed 11.00pm after paper review, light out at 12.10am, after listening to Today in Parliment and midnight news.

I have no idea what sort of person I am - permanently tired as not sleeping well at the moment!

I'm grumpy in the mornings as well ( some would say most of the day) . I need my morning dog walk, coffee, and check the news then I will speak to people.

Mornings, I'm usually awake around 6am so I get up and shower, get the washing on if any to do, then sit and have a coffee. In the hotter weather I got anything that needed sorting outside. Then it's any other house stuff, plus work some days.
Usually go to bed at 10pm and read for half an hour or so before nodding off.

Mornings are best for me. Once awake I'm up and can't/don't lie in. I think it's programmed in me from my working life . As the years go by I'm thankful/glad to be in a vertical position each morning

It really does vary, some mornings I'm awake at 5.30 other times I drag myself out of bed about 8.45.
I do sometimes doze off in the chair in the afternoon if I'm reading. DH and I go to bed at 11 or later. We both read for about an hour.

No. When I wake up, be it at five o’clock or eight o’clock, I don’t like anyone to speak to me until I have had my first cup of coffee. In monastic silence. Even the birds aren’t allowed to sing. ?

I’ve always been a bit of a night owl, married to a lark so a bit of compromising has to take place. For years, we scheduled morning routines around children getting to school, us getting to work etc, we seldom overlapped much at the start of the day which to be honest suited me fine. I think my old boy imagined that, in retirement, we’d sit companionably together over a breakfast cuppa! That’s not happening, I still prefer my own company 1st thing in the morning so we seldom meet properly till I’ve had breakfast on my own! Antisocial moi??

Usually wake dead on 6, and read or do puzzle until DH surfaces at around 7 Love the early mornings in spring and summer, but it is a bit dark and chilly now. We are always at the shops when they have just opened. Definitely amorning person. Early to bed etc......

I dunno tbh i get up around 7am but generally don't spring into action until around 11 am. I do what I need to and don't generally collapse in a heap until evening and bed around 11pm.

I am up early then zzzzzzzzzzz in the chair about 4 , unless I manage to get out of the chair and shake myself , bed about 10 but then read till the wee hours . Then one morning I sleep in , catch up and then the circuit starts again

I dont rush to get up but usually get downstairs by 8.20. If I have things I don’t want to do, I am best getting them done first thing. Sometimes I have a lie in, doing puzzles or reading, but it also suits my metabolism to get on with the day. This week however, we have both needed to be up and dressed and out of the kitchen before 8.00am for the decorators, which has been an effort, but I have realised that actually this creates extra hours in the day, if I needed them. I do tend to go on my iPad after breakfast and can easily spend time on it until 10.00 am , then I feel as if half the day has gone.
DH is a night owl. He watches endless programmes on Tv until the early hours. They are nearly all repeats. Even this week of early mornings has not caused him to change his habits. Everyone round here seems to have all their lights out by 10.00pm, so we are really late. I rarely go to bed before 11.30pm. Burning the candle at both ends, as they say.

I've never had a long lie since DC came along. I used to love to sleep when I was young.
I am marginally more energetic in the mornings.
Yesterday I went to the cinema in the evening and promptly fell asleep.
DH was prodding me in the ribs. He said I wasn't the only one slumped.
Tonight I have people coming for a meal so had better get going.

Night Owl here!
Probably due to years as a Licensee and all the late nights, never usually got to bed before 1am
When I'm looking after Dgs in the School hols and have to be there for 7.30, I usually fade in the afternoon.
I tell Dgs9 that I'm "resting my eyes", he once told me that while I was "resting my eyes" I was snoring! ????

It depends entirely on the day and how I wake up. I've been an all day sloth today, and I seem to have done nothing useful at all. I can be a bit of a whirlwind on a good day though!

I've always been a larky type, even in my student days. I love the mornings, and enjoy being up and about early in the day. I don't go to bed very early - I find I sleep more soundly if I don't settle down until about 11.30 - but do have the occasional cat-nap in the daytime.

I’m a lark, as my father was, but I haven’t passed on the early gene to any of my offspring.
As soon as I wake I get up, usually 5ish. I have a short nap on most days and go to bed at 9.30ish.
I HATE the twice yearly messing about with the clocks, it takes me weeks to get used to. Is this worse for larks or for owls?

I would be a morning person if only I didn't wake so many times in the night for a call of nature. Drives me crazy. I don't always get back to sleep immediately either, so when I do eventually wake up at around 6.30 (always for yet another visit to the loo), I often just want to crawl back under the duvet for more sleep, especially during the autumn and winter months! On the rare occasions when I'm not disturbed too much in the night, I'm happy to get up at 6.30 and start the day - I love that quiet time before DH gets up and puts the news on (he's a night owl and doesn't usually surface until around 9.00am).

Me too Bathsheba sometimes I can go back to sleep other times I have to read for half an hour. Some nights I only need to go a couple of times but occasionally it's half a dozen.

You sound like my bladder twin sodapop ???. Though it's not really funny, is it? I'm so envious of DH, who just gets into bed and sleeps. For hours. And he can go all day, quite literally 7 or 8 hours, without needing to pee.
I long for a night of uninterrupted sleep, but it's a distant memory these days. Although I did have a night a couple of weeks ago when I woke only once, which was quite astonishing for me!
