Do you prefer getting up at the crack of dawn or love late nights?

Late nights...for sure! When I worked I was a morning person. I was up at 4:30 every morning, and out of the house by 5:30. I would go to bed at 8pm with Kaitlyn went to bed. NOW....Im lucky if I get to bed before midnight, and definitely not up until 8am or after.

I dont know how I ever was up at 4:30 in the morning, except I had to so it was a part of life then.

I'm definitely a morning person - do my best work in the am. But I too have my limits. 4:30 is just crazy talk! lol Maggie's a morning person too. DH is entirely opposite, though he's much better about getting up early than before we lived together. There was a time when he wouldn't roll out of bed before 11am.

I'm up everyday by 6 or 6:30am. I go to bed during the week at around 10:30 or 11pm --- weekends I'm up until usually around 1am (still up by 6am). I can function on little sleep (I think it stems from bartending late nights when I had to get up for school the next day...I used to function on 3 hours of sleep!).

I burn both ends of the candle I am a morning person who has always gotten up super early and I love to start my day as the sun is getting up, but since I had kids, I also stay up till midnight or so too. So I have lived on about 5 hours sleep a night (give or take) for the last 21 years. But thats ok, I shall sleep when I am old

I am a night person. Since kids though, i have a strict 10pm bedtime, and am up at 5:30 for work or shortly after that on weekends with the kids.

I'm pretty lucky that DH is a morning man. If he gets some good night time sleep he'll always pop up out of bed for the kids in the morning. So I'm usually the one taking the night time wakings in order to get the sleep in. lol

I am an early bird NOW. That is only because I have kids that force me to be so though. But I've found I enjoy it. I love being able to be the only one awake in the house at 5 and spend my time getting ready, drinking a cup of coffee and reading my Bible. I can get so centered that way and feel so much better and ready to start my day.

When I was younger though... I was a total night owl. I'd be up for all hours and sleep until 11. LOL. I can't imagine sleeping that late now. Even on our weekends away, I'm always up at 6 at the latest.

Prefer to be a night owl but life forces me to be a reluctant morning person. I start working at 6:30 am but I don't get up until 6 am because thankfully I work from home.

I voted night owl, but I'm really not....since I've had kids. I'm in bed by 10 pm most nights. Mornings aren't my favorite, but like others have said, I feel good when I get up and get things done in the morning.

I am a night owl for sure. I love a good early start to the day though. Something about getting up after 8 just makes me feel like my day is half over before it's started.

I MUST have a cup of coffee in my system before I can utter a single word in the morning...even to my kids. I grunt at them until the caffeine kicks in...so sad but that would be the case even if I went to bed early!
