Do you like to get up early?

I used to be a night owl. I could easily stay awake until 4 or 5 am, then go to bed and wake up around 1pm.
Sure, when I heard about people who woke up early and watched the sunrise, I thought it sounded nice. I often saw the sunrise, but that was on my way to bed.
One day that all changed, and it wasn't on purpose.
We moved to another place, a house with a view over the sea, and we had no curtains.
Strangely, the same evening we were sleepy and went to bed early. And woke up early as well.
Ever since, we go to bed early (11pm or earlier) and wake up and get up around 5am or 6am. We never use an alarm.
What caused it? The light? I have no idea, but now I really enjoy getting up early. I am much more productive and get a lot more out of my day this way.
What do you say?

I am a night owl, I could stay up all night. However I choose to wake up early because I like you get more things done.

Well done then to go against your nature to accomplish more. Was it hard to change, @taciaelisepeace?

@sindore It takes a while to adjust. What helped is I had to be at my old job at 6 am and I lived 30 mins away, I worked there for a yr. After that I shifted to getting up at 6 or 7. Before that job I would sleep in until 11 or 12.

I am a night bird like you were before and love to work during late hours as this is the time where I feel undisturbed ! But then because of nature of my job , I need to get up early in the morning if required even if I sleep late! Thanks dear @sindore !

In a way I do, I just know I love to be awake during the night when everyone else is asleep. I guess it just has something to do with the silence. You gotta love that silence. I even do most of my cooking in the middle of the night, so nobody bothers me or asks stupid questions. I need to concentrate.

I feel bad when I wake up at 7 or 8 a.m.
As for now, I go to bed at 2.30-3 a.m. and wake up at 9.25 a.m.

Ouch, I'm sorry for your sleeping problem, @m_audrey6788. Have you tried hypnosis or meditation?

I find it very hard to stay up late. My body tells me that it is time to go to bed. I am an early riser. I do not know how long I have been that way. I find it is nice to be up when the sun comes up in the morning.
