Poll: Morning person or Night Owl?

NewlyMrsM.

Are you a morning person or night person?

I'm definitely a night person.  It sucks because my hubby needs to wake up early for work and I keep him up at night.  I've been working from home for the past year so I haven't had to wake up super early.  Plus for some reason my body is just sooo tired in the morning and has so much energy at night.

I'll have to work on this because I'm going back to FT work soon!

 Any suggestions on training yourself to wake up early and stay awake?

I am a morning person and Brian is a Night Owl.  He is a bear to wake up in the morning and I crash really early at night.

I am defnitely a night owl. I am a full-time student and I can get a lot done at night. I feel like there are a lot less distractions at night, and everything is quiet and calm.

Yes...Coffee, lots of Dunkin Donuts coffee!

I am not either. My work days vary and when I am at work my hours are all wacky. Once I am up, for the most part I am up up. Some nights I cant keep my eyes open, others I will stay up til all hours. Some mornings I am up very early, others I sleep in. I have no pattern.

I am most definitely a night person.  I could really stay up all night and be fine.  But when I get up for work in the morning, I can barely stay awake through the day.  It sucks.

I am a morning person! I get up and go as soon as my feet hit the floor. I am lucky to be able to stay up till 10 at night though! And even if I make it that long I am not very productive at that time. I would just as soon put stuff off at night and get up really early the next mornig to do. My husband is a night owl though. He would stay up till 1-2 and wake up at 9-10 every day if he could. He has to get up early for work though and I swear its a huge task to wake him up each morning...even though most nights he goes to be between 10-11. It drives me insane, but I realize eveyones clock is just set differently!

Good Lordy! I am NOT a morning person. I hate mornings! And now, with the pup, I hate them even more! He likes to wake us up at 6 AM to go potty. I would rather stay up super late then get up early.

Can I say neither?    I'm so tired all the time anymore.  If I had to pick, I guess I would say morning person because once I'm up I do pretty good.  I can't stay awake much past 9 at night.

Once you get used to getting up early you'll do fine.  It might take a couple weeks to really get used to it.

I'm a mid-afternoon person till night-ish person.  I hate getting up early and have never been able to get used to it.

For some reason if I wake up before 8am by like 11 I'm so tired I'm falling asleep. 

Actually one thing that really works for me is Starbucks or Cuban coffee in the morning.  Then I'm electric enough to get through the morning.

?LOL if only a baby would only get up at 6 am instead of every 3 hours I would be a happy camper! ?

Mine does! 

Hopefully the puppy will start sleeping all night soon.  It shouldn't be too much longer.  Are you having tons of fun with him, or what?

Night person.  Hence the midnight shift.  Jerry on the other hand is a morning person.  He gets up @4am for work. 

I will honestly say that It does take me a few to wake up no matter when it is though.

Before baby, I was definitely a night owl.  I hate mornings.  I would stay in bed until 10 if I could.  I am lucky that DS doesn't wake until 8 though, but during school, when I have to get up at 5.... ugh, I hate it!  But since DS (especially now that he's a walker/runner), I'm lucky if I can keep my eyes open past 10.

DH is definitely a night owl.  He'll stay up until 2 or 3am on the weekends and want to sleep until 11 (yeah right)!

I've always been a night owl.  I used to wake up so grumpy and foggy in the morning.  DH likes to go to bed earlier than I do, so I've adjusted my schedule to go to bed with him, and now I usually wake up with a lot more energy.  I'm getting about an hour more sleep now.  But, I still do feel like I have more energy at night and get more done then than I do in the daytime.
