Night Owl or Earl Bird?

Post by CashJames »

I'm among the night folk. Being the codger that I am, I enjoy the peace and quiet of my evening routine, completely bustle free. Unless my house is burning or I have work, I rarely wake before noon. How about you?

I'm not really a morning person but unfortunately I don't have the luxury of sleeping late ... except at the weekend

I'm horrible in the mornings, but have to get up for work but I still find it difficult to go to bed before midnight. Life just seems all work work work if I go to bed early.

Im a morning person, Im up at 5 or 6, I bust butt until afternoon, then flake out. After about 2 I dont do much of anything, sit on my dead ass and read, plunk on my banjo, take a nap, fool around on the computer. Im retired so my routine dosent change much.

I'm naturally a night person, but I try to get up and get going in the mornings anyway. If I make myself get up at the same time every day and follow a fairly standard morning routine, it gets easier for me as it becomes habit and I sleep better at night.

As my life and my age changes, so do my waking and sleeping habits. An exciting night life has given way to beautiful cool, still, fragrant early mornings before the rest of the city has awoken. And the weekends seem twice as long if I don't sleep in!!

I'm Nocturnal :D Although, school forces me to put on a happy face in the mornings and pretend otherwise.

I want to be honest so I'm an early bird.
And I would say more that it's an amazing feeling when you end all your daily deeds before 9 am and then you are free with your dreams and future plans. :)
