I am a notorious nightowl and I have spent some time on mylot into the late evening and early morning hours. I have noticed that some of my friends on mylot are more active in the mornings. It made me wonder...are there more earlybirds on mylot or more night owls? Which are you?

I've been a nightowl for over 40 years - LOL! After I retired, I couldnt stop, so fortunately I met someone who was also a nightowl and we live together very well! So doing mylot and other online work only came natural while waiting for hubby to come home from work and go to bed.

It sounds like a good arrangemet. My husband is a nightowl by nature too..but he has to get up pretty early for work. He does stay up pretty late on the weekends.

I feel that I am more of a night owl, but it really depends on my schedule. Sometimes I can stay up until 1 or 2 am, but then I usually have to get up the next day early anyway. I would have to say that I am more of a night owl because of insomnia but that isn't necessarily a good thing. :)

I have had bouts of insomnia in the past when I just could not get to sleep before 4 a.m. I was able to overcome it by changing my habits and making my self go to sleep at a regular time every night. Now having 4 little ones, the evenings are a good time for me to have some time to myself..although I should be getting more sleep!!

LOL I actually think judging from times you've posted or responded that a few times I've been getting on when you were going off. I am an early bird! If I sleep until 6 a.m. I feel like I've slept half the day away. I like early mornings, it's quiet and no interruptions. My time!

I am a nightowl by nature but being a mommy to four little ones I am usually up by 7:30 with the kids. I enjoy my quiet time in the evenings on mylot and surfing the net, but going to bed at 2 or 3 in the morning and waking up at 7:30 to the sound of little feet makes mommie a zombie somedays!!!

i am a early bird because my hubby went to his job at 6:00am and that time baby is also sleeping and this is the best time to spent here at mylot... and i stay here up till evening.
i never come here or stay here in night because we slept at 9:00pm everyday so there is no chance to come... hehe

I am so much a night owl!
My boys do get me up in the mornings though so I totally undertand the mommie is a zombie thing!
I have also suffered from some insomnia, though using meletonin for that helps.
My oldest is a morning bird... so it makes life interesting here ... now if he and the middle would just be quiet in the mornings and let me and the little one sleep we would have it made!

I guess it depends what's going on with me throughout the day that determines if I'm gonna be on late at night or in the morning or afternoon. I have a hard time getting to sleep some nights and I like to go on mylot to relax and other times I like to go on in the morning or afternoon after I've got all my daily routine things finished.
