They, whom ever they are, say that some people are night people and some people are morning people. Personally I am more of a night person, but I still wake up naturally at 5am... I just have more energy to do stuff at night.
What about you? Morning or night person?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

Morning, without an alarm clock, but I often get a burst of energy between 9 and 9:30 at night. I think that's from working second shift many, many years ago, and that was the beginning of "count down to quitting time".
Ditto.
It's Saturday, and like any Saturday I was up at 5:30 and on my morning walking rounds of about 6 miles and home in time before anybody else is even stirring. I will do the same on Sunday but the walk is a run.
I just seem to get so much more accomplished before noon. I loved it when I had Mondays off of work (and then later switched to Fridays off) because there was really nothing in my way to getting things accomplished on those mornings.

Up until maybe a year ago I would have easily said morning. Now I am neither. I want to go to bed early and get up late....

Morning person. No question.
Naturally a night person, who's adjusted over the years between working and now hitched to an anal morning person (I'm still trying to understand his compulsion to wake me at 5:45 a.m. on July 4th to tell me the a/c was on the fritz again...)
When RJ's out of town, I find myself staying up later and later.
You are wasting an hour to an hour and a half every day. I'm up between 4:00 and 4:30 each morning...weekdays and weekends notwithstanding how much I drank the night before.
What are you gonna do?
I will ignore the "anal morning person" comment.

You are wasting good sleeping time! Nothing is even open at 4:30 a.m. Oh, wait a minute. I should get you to go to Wal-Mart when I need something, the checkout lines are probably really short at 4:30. Brilliant! Thanks, RJ!
Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done so I'm both a morning and an evening person.

I'm more of a night person. I will often stay late at work because I'll get a burst of energy in the late afternoon/early evening.
I think the combination of college as well as working third-shift for about six months after college helped contribute to this pattern. When I worked third-shift, the 3pm-10pm hour was my downtime/awake-at-home hour, the 10pm-7am timeslot was when I worked, and the 8am-3pm timeslot was when I slept.

Morning. No alarm clock needed. 10:30 a.m. is peak energy time, it's all downhill after that. Unfortunately, the wife's day only starts about then.

Hubby is up no later than 5:30 every day, usually earlier, regardless of day of the week. If he's not awake by then, he's sick and should be taken to the emergency room.
I am a night person. I prefer to clean, do household chores, etc in the evenings. Mornings, especially on weekends, are for sleeping in! When hubby's traveling, I'm up really late, sleep in and also complain a lot more about having to go to work in the morning.

Of course we know a lot, but it is context that's missing, not treasures." - Werner Herzog, in Archaeology, March/April 2011
Me too. I like to go to sleep no earlier than 11pm, frequently midnight or 1am. I am not a morning person at all. The day should start no earlier than 10am. Thankfully I don't have to be at the office until 9:30 and I usually putz around until my caffeine has kicked in. RT is also a night person. The baby and my partner are crack of down rooster types who sleep at 9pm. Guess who gets up with the baby in the morning?

I am definitely a night person.
However, when I do wake up early, I am usually still a pretty happy guy. I'm not one of those cranky morning people.
"I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany"
My natural tendency is to 'do more' and increase the amount of time I spend engaging in various activities. This must come at the expense of something, so sleep is usually the first thing to go. So I guess I'm a night person by nature, but am also a 'zero to 60' type in the morning (but can certainly be cranky while 'going 60')
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
I'm very much a night person.
I guess I like staying up late because I view at as being a time where I don't have to do anything or be bothered with business.
Nigh tperson here. Like many here, I find the late night hours to be one of the only times I get to be alone with my own thoughts. Which I often feel I need in order to process the day. I'm also fairly cranky in the morning, thought I try my best not to be too annoying to the rest of the family. My wife is very much a morning person. She keeps telling me how great it is and how I should get up earler with her, but its just so hard to turn off the day sometimes. I need some me time to close out to books, so to speak.
