Night Or Day?

Are you a night person or a day person? Do you think that your time of birth has to do with why your that kind of person? I'm a night person, always have been, i get my energy at night usually, and that's when i do everything for the most part around the house, and all the big stuff i need to do. It doesn't matter if I've been up since 4AM, by about midnight, i have so much energy, i can explode haha, and i was born at night as well. I've always thought that I'm a night person because i was born at night, though, at the same time, my husband was born at night, and he has the energy in the day.... Anyway i was just curious about what you think, type on my friends!!!

Well I prefer night-time also, it's quiet and peaceful. I don't have to worry about the sun and it's harmful rays, because it's summer now here in the Philippines. When I wasn't working yet, I stay awake until the break of down. And by that time, I'm still having troubles in falling asleep. As if I still have more energy left to spend for a couple of hours, I guess it's insomia that hit on me that time!;)

I have often wondered this myself. :) I am a night person and I was born at 9:58 pm EST. And even when I was a young baby to present time, I am a person that can be up all night long, get a couple hours of sleep to drag myself out of bed...but come the end of the day and all the kids are asleep, I am wide awake! Some of my kids were born early morning and they are also very early risers. Not a great combo for a night person. ha ha But the children that I have had born later in the morning...they also like to sleep in some. LOL

Well, maybe the time of day when you were born had the effect on you. I think that you are more a night person. You are very energetic and lively at night...but you can also be very lively in the afternoon. You are not talkative at all in the morning, but given some time...you wake up and are ready to go!! :D Maybe some days you are a combination of the two! :)

I am a day person as I can also stay up 'til late night, I was born at night. I was once a night person for temporary and not comfortable with it. I need sleep at night to restore my energy. I think I'm happy with the way I am now :)

I'm a night person! I don't know what time I was born, I'll have to ask my mom....lol. It's 1am now and I'm about ready to give up though. It's hard to be a night person when you have to get up at 5am...:-( I'll get back to you on what time I was born...:-)

Im definitely a nite person. I dont think it has sumthing to do with my time of birth. It depends more on my mood in the morning which is almost always not good coz I am still sleepy when i just wake up in the morning. At night, i can do a lot of thinking, studying and wotking at my best. It is silent. I stay up late at nite coz i do most of my reading and studying at nite which is also the reason why i get little time to sleep and that makes my morning pretty bad.

It is bascically about the environmet that you like or the environment from where your body can suck some energy. It also depends on the mood. I am a guy who is energetic all the while as my friend say "energy flows from me".

Hmmm....I guess I am in between. I was not born at night, but not in the morning. I was born at 5:22 a.m. So, what should that make me? Well, I think that I am very active at night and can stay up as long as I am doing something or talking to someone. And, in the morning...even if I didn't get that much sleep...give me a few minutes and I will be ready to go. But, as the day progresses and I just sit there doing nothing I get bored and tired. So, can I say that I am both. I am not cranky in the morning. And, I am not cranky at night!! :D

Day sleeper - day sleeper
I dont know about your birthtime theory because I was born at 810am and have been a night person all my live. I even married another night person so we could sleep during the day together!

I am definitely a night owl. I'm not big on going to bed early and getting up early. I only do that when I have too and even then I enjoy staying up late. I like being able to sleep in and relax a bit in the morning before I have to get moving onto something else. I just prefer to sleep in and stay up late. I feel my best at night.

It's really the first time that I've heard of your idea -- the time of your birth has to do with why you are that kind of person. I just feel that it has more ralationship with your age. When I was younger, I could spend all night not sleeping then still had energy the next day. But when I grew older, I felt more and more tired. I think it's just question of age. But it can also be reason of habit. If you are used to be a night person, then you will be a night person.

Its just in the mind. If you start to try to feel energetic in days you will feel the same. Its just how you want to feel. You and your husband both were born in night. But you feel energetic during night and he in the day. This itself shows that it is not true that feeling energetic depends on the time one was born.

There have been studies done on this topic. They say that a person born in the middle of the night will feel more awake in the middle of the night. A person born in the daytime will feel more alert during the day time.

Well now that i dont have a job i tend to get up in the afternoon which i love, and i just laze about. I get a bit more energy after dinner time which is about 8pm but then i crash out but about 11pm. I was born at 2am so i dont think mine coincides. Then again i have become a bit of a lazy butt since i got ill the last four months so that could be a bad factor

I seem to go back and forth. I love the nighttime though and that's when I feel like I can be free and do whatever I want. However, things tend to be closed more at night. I do like the daytime though, on a cool, spring day. I just wanna go up to the mountains or play basket ball or do something fun. I guess it really depends.
