Are you a night person that secretly loves the mornings? I just discovered that I am! I've always been a night person no matter my schedule. Lately though I've had the worse insomnia of my life and that leaves me still awake during the morning hours. I've discovered that the hours between 7:30am and 10:00am are my absolute favorite. I love the way the morning sunlight is bright without being hot, so cheery that no matter my mood I'm instantly cheered up. I love how everything but the birds is quiet and I can sit by myself while everyone else is asleep and just enjoy the moment. It feels like stolen bits of time. I'll work on my projects, catch up with friends, listen to some music or workout. Now between like 11am and 3pm I go into this drowsy state and cannot keep my eyes open no matter how much or how little sleep I've had, lol. But I do find myself enjoying those quiet mornings alone. So are you a secret morning lover?

Yes sort of and I am more productive in the mornings! I usually love to be left alone in the mornings (prefer not talking at all, if possible) and do my own stuff, drink my coffee, watching people walk by downstairs. I love the nights too for some reason, I guess I just love the quietness before everyone wakes up and after everyone goes to bed!

Yea me too! I love to be left alone with the world just for a bit, especially at work these days, I wish the phone never rings and people wouldn't see me anywhere!

I'm the same way, I prefer the quite times when nobody is around and it feels like I've got that bit of the world to myself for a while. I'm more productive at night but I'm trying to change that so I can bake and ship during the day.

When life permits, I favor 5:30 a.m. to around 10:30 a.m. I like the birds, the fresh morning smell of growing things, and my brain just works better then. I think we all naturally need a siesta from late morning until late afternoon. Too bad life does not work that way
So I am off to do some yardwork, get a drink of water and I will come back later and lot some more.
Work is calling me.

I agree, we're so worn by the afternoon that a nap is a must when we can get it in. They should've never stopped naps after kindergarden, lol.

Now see, if I were to get up at 5:30am I would expect a day sleep! I think siestas should be brought in world wide - imagine if everyone was able to have a nap when they were tired in the day, I think we would be a happier bunch.

Naps really fit our natural rhythms. I vote for one.

Absolutely! And I couldn't have said it better myself.
All those things I love about the morning time.
Everything is so fresh and unspoiled.
By the afternoon the sun is up too high and
everything is too hot and it's just a miserable
rotten day!
But the morning is just right!
I spend my early mornings by myself and love
all those little moments.
I do lots of MyLot during that time, when I'm up.
Or, just check my email or putter around the house
until everyone wakes up.

I am trying to teach myself how to be a morning person. A few times when I have had to get up - for an appointment or something - I have noticed how long your day feels, in a positive way, when you get up a few hours earlier than usual. Saying this though, I do have children that get up early, but not until 7am, which is plenty early for me. Although I dream of wanting to wake up an hour before everyone and have that time to myself.
I think that is why I am a night owl because I like to have the house to myself while everyone else is in bed.
