Are you a morning person?

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.

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 smile

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 grin

or an afternoon person or an evening person?

I'm rubbish in the mornings and come to life ( briefly) about 2pm.
