Are you a morning or evening person?

[bif]

I used to love staying up real late. Even on work nights. Now that I'm retired, Ifigured that would continue. Nope. Now I'm usually up with the sun. I almost never sleep later than 7:30.

1. my answer would be yes.

back in the day i could stay out all night and work all day. those days are gone. I do still get occasional insomnia and stay up until it's light outside, but usually i'm up in the morning.

don't have the energy I used to that's for certain.
You reminded me of this poem I wrote in the 90's. Historically, since childhood, I've been a night owl.


Night

I want to prowl the night like an energetic ghost -
Want to plumb the facts out of the past
to hug the night like
Night hugs the desert
As if it could last -
When the day holds sway
I want to know
I did not waste
in the hours before

I'll be
the Night blooming jasmine
I'll be
the Cactus at dawn

In the heat I'll be
Sand or sweat
salt or sunburn
not gone.not lost.
not diminished
day does not take a history
light does not sour me, nor erase
energy the night
insists upon lending me.

3. I can't sleep past 8:00.

I’m usually up at 7:00-7:30. But, no matter how late I go to bed, 8:00am is my body clock limit.

4. Morning

Weird thing is i was always a morning person.
Even in my college days with parties, even in my band days with getting home at 3:30 or 4 in the morning.
Now that i have no desire to go out and stay late anyway, i'm really a morning person.

5. Always been a night owl; my mom used to joke

that when I was a baby she used to have hit me over the head to make me sleep at night. 🙂 Still occassionally stay up until about two a.m., but now I am usually asleep by midnight and up by 7 or 8.

9. Maybe not either

Sometimes I wake up ready to get busy. Other days, I don't get moving till around noon. When I worked, I was on straight afternoons from home and I would stay up late. Now that I'm retired, I am going to bed earlier and getting up earlier.
