I am definitely the early bird. I'm up every morning between 4 and 4:30 even on my days off. I love getting up before daylight when everything is quiet, watching the sun rise, sitting on the back deck and hearing the birds start to chirp, and the day to start new. What about you?

What time do you go to bed???? By the time you are getting up, I am going to bed or have only been in bed for an hour or so. Wow! That is early! LOL I am a night owl. I always have been. When I was 4 years old, my mother worked late and would not get home until 2 or 3 am. I would still be awake and then go with her and my father to get coffee...them coffee and me french fries. But that was only because she knew that I was a night owl. :) And to this day, I still am.

I'm definitely a night owl! And I have been a night owl for as long as I can remember! . . For me I've always found that at night . . There is significantly fewer distractions. I find that I can concentrate so much better for some reason. When everyone else is sleeping I find it to be rather quiet within the house. And I honestly like it this way because then I can do whatever I am doing without anyone disturbing me. I find during the day that there is always to much noise or someone always disturbing me when I am in my room trying to just get some privacy! . . But at the same time . . Sometimes I've found I'm a little bit of both.. I mean there has been weeks or days where I will stay up very late & then.. I'll wake up super early to get my day going.. There's days where I don't get much sleep at all. Sometimes I really dislike that, & sometimes it doesn't bother me at all. I think it all depends upon my mood & what ends up happening on that particular day! . . I don't know I think some days I will wake up earlier then usual, but it all depends upon how I am feeling. I know that I like the night time because I find it to be so much more peaceful then when the day rolls around. I guess we all have our own preferences & our own way of doing things. It's interesting to find out how everyone works, & how different we all are.. Yet we're so similar in a lot of ways as well though! . .

I'm definitely an early bird. I wake up at 5:30 every morning with the exceptions of the weekends. I sit at the computer with a nice hot cup of coffee.

I'm much better first thing in the morning too, I get really tired by evening but first thing in the morning everything is peaceful, the air feels clean and fresh and the whole day awaits, I like that best of all, that moment of anticipation before I start on my projects for the day.

I was a night owl earlier in my life. But when I joined my job the they had flexible timings. I can complete 8 hours any time and go home. This made me a Early bird as I wake up at about 4:30am and reach job at 5.30 am and come back home at about 2.30 pm. From that day I have been an early bird.
