Which one are you: The "late night owl" or "early bird catches the worm" type?

Do you prefer staying up late at night or waking up early in the morning to catch most of the day's shining light? I, personally, am a night owl...I love the peacefulness of knowing that people have settled in for the night, are sleeping, or are just relaxing for the rest of the evening/night. Too much hecticness (if that's a word...LOL) during the day...I would rather sleep some of that off...lol. Which one would you consider yourself?

It's funny... I'm a night owl, but I sued to me a morning persons. See, when I worked at Starbucks during college, I would have to be at work at 4:30 AM, so I needed to be up in the morning. But I would also be up until 2 AM studying or hanging out or just winding down. I took naps during the day, but I loved the quiet of being able to study and work at night. Now that I have a regular hours job (8-5), I still like being up late but don't have to worry about being up so early.

I have changed significantly over the years. I used to always be a real night owl but ever since I had kids I have to get up early every morning and now have a hard time staying up pat 11 at night. If I do I end up feeling like crap the next day.

I ran away from home at 13 and joined the carnival. I worked 20 hour days. So this instilled the night owlness syndrome. Hahaha. Sounds like some rare disease doesn't it? To this day I'm very much the nightowl. I only sleep 4 or so hours nightly. Anymore and I tend to get very overtired. So a few hours is all I need thanks to my life as a carnie for so many years. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I am a night person; I need about 5 to 6 hours of sleep and will only wake up after 7.30am, nothing earlier than that else will be very tired for the rest of the day and I will look very sleepy, thus could not focus on the things that I am doing. I am more a night person; I do not sleep until it passes midnight every night. I might doze off at 10 of 11 pm but will wake up again, then I will stay up till it past midnight, and I am wide awake between 12am and 2am, most of the time, I will spend my time on the net surfing.
