Ever since I can remember I always feel better, more awake, more alive when night falls. MOrnings are not my favorite part of the day. But some people are the opposite. THey feel good really early in the morning and like to go to bed early and wake up early too. Which one are you?

I am beginning to be more and more of an afternoon person than anything else, lol! When I was a kid I *loved* getting up early. You'll probably groan at this, but I used to get up hours early just for fun, to watch the early morning cartoons.. meaning that when I was in kindergarten, there wre days when I happily got up at like 5am and felt awake, alive and vibrant. Nowadays it takes me like an hour to fully wake up once I start to awaken, though. I hate to drag myself out of bed most days. I guess that it just comes with age. I've never really been a night owl, though, although I find myself staying up later ever since posting here on Mylot so much! *laugh*

My cousin was like you. Even to the point of waking up really early to watch tv:) Me, I used to go to bed and lay down reading until the book was finished which sometimes meant 5 am LOL

I, like you, am a night person. I really need to become a morning person though, it would make work so much easier.

Since I am writing this at 20 minutes to 11 at night..can you guess my answer? I am definitely a night person...I seem to begin to get my energy about 10 pm...this isn't the best situation for me, as I have to rise about 6:45 am each morning for work...I rarely see the bed until about 12:30...I really need to work on this!!!! I am committing to going to bed by 11 pm each night for 2 weeks beginning this coming Sunday.. if I can do it for 2 weeks then I know it will work!!! If it doesn't work I need to move to Australia where time is so opposite us!!!! When I was there I was up at 7 am or before and ready for bed by 9 pm... i awoke feeling refreshed and ready for the day!!!!

Night person. I don't know why. My brain just works its best at night..I get all my best ideas after midnight..in the day time I feel..heavy..as if I'm weighed down by things. But at night..it's almost as if I'm free from everything, heh. I know it's not really true, the things and responsibilities are still there when I wake..but the night time's just my best time lol. I love the darkness..the stars, the moon.. The sun gets rid of all those things which I love so much..which I can actually look at, you can't LOOK at the sun or you blind yourself lol. I like mornings sometimes. They make me feel...normal lol. But I mean toward eleven in the morning. Anything between ten o'clock and three in the morning is dubbed "That unholy time of day" by me lol. Now that the sun's coming back again, that spring's back my eyes have to re-adjust to the brightness again..ah wells..lol.

I know what you mean about the brain working best at night. The same seems tho happen to me. I am so much "awake" at night, LOL I like to walk at night, it clears my head and helps when I'm not in the best mood :) The only thing is that for me it's the hours from 7 to 10 am that are not the best for me. The rest of the day is fine,

lol i am both. i like it to stay up early and welcome the day, watch the birds and have my coffee outside of the hous, and enjoy the quiet upcoming of the sun. then i do my work, go for a rest and in the eveening i am creative. so dhtis makes me for both i think.

I'm a night owl, usually staying up late into the night and getting up 6-8 hours later. Hubby is a morning person. He's up for work at 430am but is ready to go back to sleep by 8pm.

I have always been a night person. I have always enjoyed working the night shift because that was when I had the most energy. I dragged all morning when I worked a day job. If I have to be somewhere early in the morning, it is easier for me to just stay up all night than it is to get up early in the morning to be there on time. I don't know why, but I've always been that way. Since my eyes are also very light sensitive, everyone calls me a vampire, and has for a very long time. I sometimes wonder if maybe I am, I don't bite though.

Well I am the king of night. Means I love night..Because it is too hot here in day time.. I also like early morning. The rising sun : watching it gives me power. Breeze of air fills my heart and lung and freshness to me.

Definitely a night person. No doubt about it. I can never wake up in the mornings anymore. When I was younger I was totally the opposite as to what I am today. Yes, I was a morning person when I was younger but I guess as life goes on, I just happen to get lazier and tend to have more plans going on in life.
