Dear Members:
Do you ever feel like this...night owl & early bird

Early bird here. I love the peace and quiet of early morning. It sets the tone for the rest of my day.

Night owl here. I worked midnight shift over 25 years. Been retired 5 years and still on a late night schedule. I love the peace and quiet of the middle of the night.

I've been both. In my twenties and thirties I would typically still be up when my alarm goes off now (03:45).

I am more of an early riser. With that being said, there are times where I am a night owl. Sadly, even if I do go to bed later than normal, I'll still be awake by around 3-3:30AM. And then sometimes I'll go back to sleep. Most times it's just me lying in bed until I decide to get out of bed. The good news though is that my sleep is leveling out. It was much worse before.

Every morning at 3:30 when the alarm went off I used to think, "Man, if I'd stayed in the Army I could be sleepin' in until 5:00."

O.H.

Are you still up?

I've worked 2nd shift for 45 years. The most unproductive shift there is as far as your life is concerned....you really don't have a life. I've always been a night owl. Down right vampire almost. The sun, it hurts me......

I considered myself to be a night owl until I quit drinking. It turns out that mornings aren’t so bad when you have a clear head and a good nights sleep. I get up at 5am everyday now. I’m a lot more productive.

Only time I can think clearly. Love my fellow humans, but jeebus you lot can be noisy.

I’m a frequent flyer in the land of insomnia so sleep comes and goes, and I try to nap when I can during daylight hours (less nightmares due to my ptsd from a traumatic childhood of having an abusive alcoholic person for a dad). Enough of the sob story though my bad

I'm definitely a B person - early mornings are not my friend...

Is this along the same lines as "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines"?

I never considered myself an early bird - until I got married and compared myself to SWMBO. But thinking back, I did typically enjoy taking the earlier classes in college so that I could be finished by mid afternoon. I do enjoy getting up on the weekend and having that first cup of coffee before anyone else is up. And with the oldest now sometimes staying up later than I want to, it's about the only chance I have to watch "my" shows. Though starting a movie at 6am is still a bit odd for me....

Early bird Monday to Friday but my natural inclination would be night owl.
