Waking up in the morning....

**Robert** · March-16th-2009, 10:17 AM

Okay, a question I wanted to ask everyone here, just out of curiosity:

How many out there are morning people, and how many out there aren't?

How about all of you? I'm not talking about "gotta go to work": we ALL know that schtick. I'm talking about the weekend for example; where you can sleep in. (YOUR weekend or day off, don't try to get out of this one folks!!! :D )

To start it off:
I myself tend to be something of a night owl, and I DESPISE mornings. For me, to wake up before the crack of noon is unheard of!! :D (besides, my "job" requires me to stay up nights anyways, as my dad has breathing problems in his sleep, and is a stroke survivor to boot.)

Okay: any takers?

Note: this topic is for fun only. I don't want to see it turn into a theological debate about getting up for church or anything like that. We don't have to be serious here 100 percent of the time you know!

I am a "morning" person during the week - gotta have my coffeecoffeecoffee!! :hyst On weekends, it's a toss-up - I would like to sleep in, but it doesn't always work out that way...especially with my guinea pig, Chester, who tends to be my "back-up" alarm by squeaking at me and then if I don't get up, he acts like a "snooze" alarm going off every five minutes!!! :hyst Then the dog starts howling, and then that's when the real fun begins....

:tongue

Actually at my age I welcome EVERY morning with some surprise!

Seriously, I am a morning person for the most part. Especially once winter is over. It is not often on the weekend that I can sleep in.

I have to confess that I, too, am a nightowl. I sleep late mornings, easy to do, since I'm retired. I seem to do better studying, etc., at night. I love staying up late here with ya'll on the forum. However, in duck season, I get up early - reaaaal early.lol. Just the way that I am, I guess.

Night owl here. All of my life, I have been a night owl. I'm hoping at the rapture that the Lord can make me a "morning person" if He needs me to be one.

**pistache** · March-16th-2009, 04:36 PM

Another nightowl checking in. I would LOVE to say I was a morning person. There is something refreshing about that! But, alas, I would only be in denial. I just get going at 11pm.

**Robert** · March-16th-2009, 05:05 PM

Yup. And my two fellow nightowls above, pistache and readytogo, are my partners in crime in the chat room. (they'll deny it of course, and say I cause all the trouble! :D )

I am a MORNING person! I absolutely love it. Always have,
I remember as a kid I would get up and mum would
grumble go back to bed!!! ha

Being over here though has its advantages as I have the privilege
of being able to chat with you night owls and not be one myself

how convenient is that, eh!

I am definitely NOT a morning person. I am a late-afternoon-evening person.

**Carl** · March-16th-2009, 09:26 PM

I don't know if 7ish counts as morning person, but I'm usually up by then on the weekends too. Even if I stay up late the night before. Like 12 or 2 o'clock.

During the school year i have to be a morning person and even on the weekend i wake up early just from being use to it during the week but once summer is here i'm more of a night person.

**tessreis** · March-17th-2009, 01:08 AM

I'm a morning person... definately. HOWEVER, I can also be a night owl... just depends on the night...

**notdecieved** · March-17th-2009, 08:21 AM

I can flip flop and be a morning person and nightowl. However, if I am up early in the morning, there'd best be a hand holding a hot cup of coffee or you are likely to get ignored until I gather my bearings. I relish my time in the evenings when everyone else is asleep and I have some quiet time to myself. Sometimes it's worth it just to stay up late for that.

**snowfox** · March-18th-2009, 12:41 AM

I am a night owl forced to be a morning person because of my boss (4 year old). I miss sleeping in!!!! Love my little one though.

I know what you mean when you say you relish the evenings when everyone else is asleep. :)
