I am a morning person, will I ever change?

When I was making plans on retiring from work I figured I would spend my mornings sleeping late instead of getting up at 5:00 every morning. Well that has never happened. I still get up early no matter how hard I try to sleep in. My husband would sleep in until noon if he didn't have to go to work and thinks I am a bit nuts waking up so early every day. I guess I am a creature of habit and will never change but that is okay with me..

I love getting up early in the morning before everyone else in the house... It has become a habit for me as well and I wake up before 6am on weekends and holidays too...

I think it's wonderful to wake up early in the morning and see the sunlight and feel the cool breeze of the air. I am a morning person myself and I am loving it.

I like the peacefulness of early morning just to sit quietly with a cup of coffee and think.

I used to be a morning person but for the past two months since my little one arrived my sleeping has changed. Now I just sleep whenever I grab a chance. But frankly I like being a morning person.

I am unable to sleep late in the morning. I have the habit to wake up at 6 AM every morning since I was a student and I still wake up at the same time.

I usually get up with my husband in the mornings when he gets ready for work. On his off days we sometimes sleep in.

Once a morning person, always a morning person. I sleep in a bit longer than I did when I was working, but have never been able to stay in bed all day, unless I am sick.

I agree. Only being ill will keep me in bed.

It is a good habit of waking up early. Even William Shakespeare had said human beings sleep at that time when nature prescribes sleep.

Thanks Chris for the discussion. I am also an early riser. I cannot wake up late even on holidays.
