Which are you??

I'm a night owl - just like my cats.
I rarely go to bed before 1 or 2 in the morning, and anyone who knows me knows better than to wake me up before 9 a.m.
My brain generally doesn't begin to function before noon.

I'm an early bird, a sleep in to me is 7am on the weekends.

During the week I go to bed pretty early, around 9pm as I get up between 4-5am for work.

I'm both. I have no problem waking up early but most of the time I'm up until about 4 or 5 in the morning (unless of course I have an important appointment early the next day).

I'm an early bird. Early morning is my favorite time of the day. For me, sleeping in is 5am. This is why it's so hard for me at the moment trying to change my sleep pattern around getting ready to work nights.
I should be sleeping right now.

Seeing as it's 3:30am....
I really am usually asleep by now but my husband is snoring LOUD tonight and I'm restless for some reason.

I think I'm a time-set transvestite....... I'm a night owl by nature, would much rather work until 5 in the morning, then go home and to bed, but due to the nature of my job, I'm up about 2 most mornings, then in bed by 6ish in the evenings (if I'm lucky, lol!). I have friends who sing professionally, and they are up until all hours of the morning, then don't get up until lunch, I spent a week with them on the road a few years back, had no problem at all adjusting to their schedule!!!

I've always been a night owl!

However, today I seem to be an early bird!


My body clock tends to be:

10am = Wake up
1 or 2pm = Nap
4 or 5pm = Wake from nap
3 or 4am = Go to bed

However my sleep pattern is really messed up the last few weeks and I basically sleep when I can and wake up frequently at all different times. I also ended up going to bed really early a few days this week and practically sleeping a whole day away due to feeling sick, so that didn't help my sleep pattern either

I'm both... most nights I stay up until 1 or 2 a.m. and get up at 7. I have the option of going back to sleep after John leaves during the week. Usually I'll lay back down with the laptop for awhile but rarely fall asleep again.

Most of the time I'm a night owl going to bed between 1 and 2. But if I absolutely have to, and always on Fridays(no, I don't know why, I just waake up early on Fridays) I'm an early bird.

Very much a night owl, I generally go to sleep some time after 1A.M.

Also I hate getting up early, I cringe when I hear people saying they have to get up at 5 or 6 A.M. for work.

I am definitely a night owl. My ideal hours would be to go to sleep at 2 am and get up at 10 am.
Then, Butzie came along. She is an early bird, err, cat. She goes to sleep at about 9 pm and wakes me up between 5 and 6 am to be loved and to feed her. This is why I am on TCS at 6:12 am. I have admitted defeat and now go to sleep between 10 and 11 pm.
Now, do I run my life or does Butzie?

Gosh if I am awake past 10 pm its a miracle!!
Neil's alarm goes off (my side of bed) at 5:25 and I usually lay in bed till around 6 am.
In the late spring/summer I can be working at client's places as early as 6:30 am.
I can accomplish lots in the morning as slow down as the day progresses!!
