Some people are morning people, up and active, smiling and wishing you a good morning! Others don't say good morning grumble and reach for the coffee and hide. (not to say they aren't cheery mid morning!). What are you?

Am definitely a later in the day developer. Hate mornings with a passion - am in my element at 23.30 hrs - trying to solve the world's problems then (or is it the huge amounts of coffee that I keep drinking kicking in at that time)

Definitely a morning person, I much prefer getting into work early and leaving early. Having said that I love evenings too..... its just that bit in the middle that I find tedious, unless of course its lovely and sunny in which case the whole day is marvellous!

Oh to be a night owl! I'd sleep in til 11:00 am and enjoy the afternoon and up til 3 am each night! Ideal, but not pratical in the 8-5 work world I live in,  . Suffice it to say, I try to cheat the system as much as possible by staying up way too late in the evenings and it takes me til after lunch sometimes to run full throttle at work. I do okay in the mornings, it's just not favorable. Diamondlady Peer Moderator  |

Prior to becoming a mother of a morning baby, I was a definite night owl. Did most of my housecleaning after 9:00pm at night for it to be good. Now I'm finding myself popping awake at the unbelievably early hour of 6:30am on Sat's and Sun's, just before my little one comes stumbling in to wake me up so we can go watch some TV, play some games, and frolick until around 8:30 when he just can't wait any longer to wake up his daddy. I am finding that by mid to late afternoon I've about run my battery low, unless I'm involved in something that keeps me extremely busy, both mentally and physically. Guess I'm still on baby-time... needing that short afternoon nap to make it through the day.  CountriGal

I'm a mid-morning cheery person AFTER my 1-2 pots of coffee. I've tried to break the habit several times but people tell me I'm not very friendly during this process!

I am definitely not a morning person. It's best for all of humanity that I don't actually "have to" talk to anyone for at least an hour after I wake up. And then it only to say hello to my fellow train slaves, after that I fall back asleep for the hour it takes to travel to the city. Once I get my additional hour of sleep on the train, I'm back to normal. I would like to be a morning person if I could actually enjoy the peace and quite of the early morning.

My personality is I am not grumpy but I tend to forget to say good morning. I am definately not a morning person, my head just isn't all there first thing in the morning. At night though I am alert and creative. I get that light bulb over my head at 9 pm and I am at my best.

I'm more of a "morning" person when the sun is up when my alarm goes off...in the winter when it is pitch black, the only thing I want to do is roll over for more sleep. To help with this, I bought one of those slowly-brightening lamps (simulates a sunrise), and it has helped me get up in the winter. Once I am up, I am okay, but I am at my most productive early afternoon.

I would miss mornings out completely if I could. Sometimes I think that if I could get up a little earlier, I would be functioning on full throttle earlier too. But that's the problem with being a night owl - staying up too late getting everything done means that it's difficult to get out of warm and cosy bed any earlier the next morning!!

There was a tv programme recently about sleeping and habits. I turned out to be a moderate owl, which means that I'm ok getting up in the morning (as long as it's not too early) and I am happiest going to bed late (but that can vary quite a bit) This probably explains why I'm not too bad - I have my moments! - at getting up a t 4 am on Sundays to do my radio show, but snuggle under the covers for as long as possible every other morning, and am wide awake on 'days off'!!!!

I suppose I'm both. I'm a morning person at the weekends especially on sunny days. I get up early, have a big breakfast while read the paper, go for a walk ... . But I hate early week mornings, especially the rainy ones!
Lots of love from Spain.

Sooo not a morning person! I find I'm doing my most constructive work at around 5.00pm when everyone is going home, and most creative stuff comes to me in the evenings. 9am meetings are a bit of a blurr, so I try to arrange all my important stuff for late morning/early afternoon.
