I used to be quite a night owl, but as I get older, I am less so. I don't think I'll ever qualify as an early bird, though!
Workdays, I'm usually up about 7 am, but I'm most comfortable getting up around 9, and I tend to poop out about midnight. So, I guess you'd say I'm somewhere in between.

For some reason my whole life I have pretty much woken up at 7am. If I stay up late sometimes I sleep in until 8 or 9, but not always. So if I stay up until 4:30 am, even if I don't have work the next day, I will often wake up 2 1/2 hour later and not be able to sleep anymore.

This makes me a cranky and somewhat mean person.

Besides, I like to get up and DO things. Then I lay around at night.

I am an early bird. When school is going, I should be in bed by atleast 9:30 - 10:00 because I have to wake up at 6:30. School is out now for me, but I still go to bed at regular time and still wake up at 6:30. I guess I am just used to it. On the weekends I spend with my dad or my pappaw I tend to stay up later, but if I'm here it's 9:30 90% of the time.

I have a hard time getting to bed before 4am and a very hard time getting up before 10am. If I could work second shift it would probably be best for my body. I've always been like this. I absolutely cannot get to sleep before 2, but as long as I get 6 hours of sleep I'm good to go. It's a real pain when I have to be to class at 8ish, because I have an hours drive and will end up with about 3 hours of sleep (unless I take night-time allergy medicine- then I can fall asleep whenever). If I need to get in an earlier sleep groove I'll switch to night time allergy medicine for a week or so, but it feels unnatural to me and I get cranky.

Here... or There... Hmmm
Definately a night owl... Since my mom passed away especially. Was up till about 8am every night and wouldn't sleep many hours. Actually thats how me and my BF got together. (He was the only other person that was awake when I was!) Now it's been 8 years and I've gotten a little better. Now it's between 2-4am unless I really really have to go to bed early for work.

I can stay up really late if there's something fun or interesting going on, but if it's just a typical night I'm in bed usually around 12:30. I love sleeping and am not a pleasant person if I haven't gotten enough of it!

Well I used to be a night owl and I used to haunt TCS until 4am sometimes even 5am. But now I'm an early bird and like to be in bed by 10pm!

I votes in between. I have no choice when i sleep sometimes. I have a mild sleeping disorder that sometimes makes it so i sleep everyother night. Every since Friday I have only slept about 15 hours. Having a cat that wants attention in the morning doesnt help.

Eek!!!! Its a long night if I can stay awake until 9:30 or 10:00 pm. The alarm goes off at 5:24 am due to Neil leaving for work by 6:30. So I get up enjoy the caffeine and do household chores!! I even get up early on weekends however I did sleep in on monday until 6:50 am!! I'm most productive in the am and go downhill from that point.

If I'm honest I could sleep for like 20 hours a day. I love sleeping but if I had a choice I would sleep all day and be up all night. I can go to sleep at the drop of a hat too.

I am definately an early bird seeing as I have to get up between 3:30 and 4:00 AM. Usually in the summer I have to be in bed before it is even completely dark out.

I'm a total early bird. Bradley is usually asleep by 9:30 and up by 5am (early and loooong hours working on a boat!), so I'm pretty much on his schedule (though I get to "sleep in" until 6:30am). Unfortunately, this sleep pattern carries over to the weekend, so we're normally up super-early and too tired to party at night!

My crazy cat wakes me up at 5:00 AM seven days a week. If I don't get up she licks my eyelids.

I'm DEFINATELY NOT an early bird! If I don't get my sleep and if someone wakes me up early, I am not a very nice person(my reaction if someone wakes me up...
) I love being up late but I know that I have to work the next day. I put in between though.

I'm definitely a night owl. I've always been that way but now that I work a midnight to 8 shift 5 days a week, it's waayyyy more pronounced!

Fridays are what I like to call my days from hell....lolololol. I wake up about 5pm Thursday evening, And I'm up until about midnight on Friday (saturday). So ya, like 30 hours
It's the only way I can see my kids and hubby over the weekend so them comes the breaks i guess LOL

I am an early bird - always have been. I remember when I was about 6/7 or something and I used to go downstairs to watch TV at 5am
Mum and dad used to get really annoyed with me but I just couldn't help it! As soon as I wake up I find it hard to get back to sleep. I also get up for work at 6.30ish so my body clock has adjusted to this. Anytime from 8pm onwards I can quite happily hop into bed and go to sleep!
