Are you a morning person or a night owl? If your morning person, why?

Question

I detest getting up in the morning and I have more energy at night, but I would like to change. Any suggestions or should I just live with it?

Answer 1

Night Owl definitely. I just naturally fight sleep! My family called me HOOT OWL when I was a small child. I am 45 and I still want to stay up all night. I clean house, sew, paint etc. It is so peaceful & quiet. My husband does not like it at all. I wish I could stop too. I work some days and some nights and it is so hard to stay on one schedule. When I do sleep at night I constatnly wake up thinking what if the house catches on fire, what if a burglar breaks in, what if... I'd just rather be awake while everybody sleeps and then when the world is awake it is my turn to sleep. I think I must be crazy!! I'm normally not grouch in the morning though, I am actually chipper in the morning but get grouchier as the day progresses! I need a nap.
I just don't care anymore and do what I feel like doing!

Answer 2

Im a evening owl the reward is its no longer as warm and also you'll see properly because the solar isnt on your eyes and many interesting issues take position after darkish. i love it the negative aspects of being a evening owl is till you stay i a huge city each and every aspect dies after 10 o'clock. And more often than not no longer some thing is open. i love the evening and that i will proceed to love the darkness for thus long as I stay. I hate waking up in the mornings. i'm not at all structure or form a morning individual. I oftentimes awaken round 12 or a million in the after noon and am up all some thing else of the day and evening then at the same time as morning hits like at 6 o'clock I hit the hay. :) i love it.

Answer 3

I am a night owl, no question about it. I always have been.
I am awful if I have to wake up any earlier than 11:00AM, at that point I am to be left alone for about twenty minutes, then I'm fine.
This is fine for me, though, because I do evening shifts - not so great for my husband who is a banker with all but "regular" hours.
There was a time where I had to work early and I routinely got up every morning around five. I would force myself to go to bed around nine-ish and would eventually go to sleep. I found that reading really did it for me. Over all of the OTC sleeping pills, prescription sleep meds (both left me groggy the next AM) and everything else, reading worked the best- go figure. You aren't forced to live with your current sleep pattern and can change it rather easily, you just have to get yourself adjusted to the time change. The main thing is setting a time that you need to go to bed, hit the sack about a half-hour before and start calming down. The trick is not to get out of bed, believe it or not. If you can stay away from that, more than half you battle is already won. If you are like most, once you're up, you're up. Of course also helping is staying away from eating too late and heavy doses of caffeine before you have to sleep. I wish you the best on your change, and take care!

Well the way my job is going right now, I am actually both, but ordinarily I am a morning person.

Why? Partly because my job is closely involved with an office in ireland, while I am on the West Coast USA and it's the best time to work with the overnight stuff.

Also, probably due to stress, I don't sleep that well, so I am always awake early!, plus my mind is more awake in the morning, by the time I get home, i am mentally shattered (just like now as I am typing this), so I don't do my best work.

Answer 5

I'm the same. But instead of not having energy in the morning, I just can't get up quick enough. Once I'm out of bed I'm good. But somehow I've been only getting 5 hours of sleep for the past few months and I've been fine. Going to sleep at 1:00 and waking up at 6:00, though I know others who have a lot less and are fine...

Guess it just depends on the person, eh?

Answer 6

Ive heard it said "Any HABIT will form in approx. 7 days and from there has the potential to last a lifetime!"

I personally enjoy being up all night. But this is bc it is my only "quiet time" without my FOUR children.

BUT there is something really awesome, and almost inspiring about getting up early (like 4-6am) and starting your day out right by doing things to better yourself. Like, spend that time with GOD, in reading the bible or in prayer. OR-exercizing, or just sitting down and reading the paper or a good book, and allowing yourself time to wake up gradually, apart from the rest of a busy house or busy world.

I like both.
I am weird like that.

Whichever you choose. Plot out your goals mentally-or on a checklist of some type.
Go to bed at the same time EVERY NIGHT, and do not deviate from the set plan. As well, wake up the SAME time every morning....once again....In the first two weeks, to be safe I'd say....DO NOT DEVIATE OR ALLOW YOURSELF a personal reward for the successful change: by sleeping in on weekends.

I have to mention it; even tho' it kind of does not really apply here....
ISNT IT ODD: that forming BAD HABITS are so much easier than forming GOOD ONES?

Good luck honey!~
GOD BLESS YOU....^^7^^

Answer 7

It will change on its own, as we change without trying all the time. It's just sometimes we stay stagnated a little longer, depending on what it was that occurred so dramatically for you, that it seems to have stopped. Everything is evolving as it should and that includes for you as well. Soon a change will be evident and have you responding in a way you just don't know yet, you may learn the morning is quite a wonderful time of day or it may be the evening, no matter, point being, it will all change, my love...

Answer 8

It's hard for me to get up in the morning but when I do I just love being up. my 3 month old big blue eyes looking up at me. Or when My 2 year old gives me a huge kiss when I get him out of his bed. Yep Yep I love mornings. Don't get me wrong I love being a night owl as well but Nothing is better then the love I feel when I get up in the mornings.

Answer 9

Night. If I wake up in the morning I'm more suspectable to sickeness and unpleasant day over all. By the way, I don't think this question is fair, since the morning people are sleeping at this time, and obviously the nights are awake.

Answer 10
