Hello there, fellow MyLotters. I found a writing prompt I wanted to do, so why not do it now? The writing prompt asks "Are you a night owl or a morning person? Explain why and what you like doing at night or early morning."
I think I am more of a night owl than a morning person. I'll go to bed and get up at a decent time during the week, but when I have the chance to stay up and sleep in a little later, I'll do it.
I am usually online when I stay up later, whether I am writing/blogging or chatting with friends. I may be in bed playing games on my tablet as well. Sometimes I'll watch a movie, one of my sitcoms or read when I stay up late. I just like to enjoy the peace and quiet.
I think that pretty much answers the writing prompt. I do try to stick with a decent sleep schedule, but I may stay up later during the weekends.
Alrighty, I'm gonna try to get a little work done. You all have a good day and take care.

I write morning, 'noon, and night. but I do have a strict rule - if I write it at night, never ever publish it without editing it in the morning.

I've always been more of a morning person. I'm more alert and away in the morning, and earlier in the day. I was a bit more of a night owl during university, but I reverted back to being a morning person when I had kids. My husband has always been a night owl, and just has a hard time getting up with them early in the morning.

I think I'm more of a night owl than a morning person, but I need to find a happy medium. I get up early during the week, not as early as some -but early enough for me, and I'd like to be more alert rather than still trying to "wake up".

I think i am a night person in that case . I would even be awake at 12 just watching my missed soaps on weekdays and i have to wake up 5:00 a.m. to prepare breakfast and myself for work . 
And Fridays and Saturday , they surely are my late nights days because anyway , i can oversleep the next day .

I think some people are just naturally a morning person or night owl. I've been more of a night owl since graduating high school in 2003. I didn't stay up past 11pm/midnight as much during my high school years (weekends that is; I went to bed by 11pm on school nights).

@tammys85 I've always been a night owl. I'll be up till 1 or 2 morning. Some times I'll fall a sleep at 11 or midnight. I also still nurse so I tend to go to bed right after the first late night nursing section.

I am a morning person since I started working early every day. I think my body got used to the early hours and I am waking up early even on weekends now. A few years ago I used to be a night owl, back then I was able to make my own schedule for the day though.
By comparing those two phases in my life, I think I am more productive as a morning person and I can get more things done when I start early in the morning. It depends on the person and the circumstances I think.

@tammys85 I was forced to stay consistent with the morning schedule by work. Also I used to be late all the time when I was meeting freinds etc, now I am trying to fix that too.
It's nice to keep a regular schedule with sleeping hours and let the body adapt to it, you will notice a big change in your energy levels if you try it for a few months.

I'm a morning person who wishes to be a night owl. I read and watch TV at night after I go offline for the evening. Then I go to bed at 10 on some days, others at 11 AM. I tend to wake up between 7:15-7:30 AM every day, even if I'm not at the gym.

I'm a night owl by choice. Well, I blame it on the insomnia but I think if I took a sleeping pill at 10pm I could be in bed by midnight, but I like my quiet time and, truth be told, a show comes on the television that I just can't turn off and I stay up and watch.

Nightowl over here. Something about turning in early for the night makes me think my day wasn't lived to the fullest.
