Are you a night owl or a morning person?

[dragonfly]

Or neither?

What time do you wake up on a typical day?
What time do you go to sleep?
What are your feelings about naps?

[Harmonie]

Hm... It's rather complex for me. I've been working nights for over four years now. I hate it... I revert to days on my weekends. Thankfully, I will be able to permanently go back to days in just two work weeks. I'm so excited!

As a teenager, I was totally "Stay up real late, wake up real late". I hate myself for it, because the very last time I got to stay at my grandparents' house before they got sick, I slept into until 2PM one day. 

Out of high school, I started changing... Waking up in the morning, until gradually settling around waking up best around 8 to 9 am.

Of course, once I switched to nights, things got wonky. I have always reverted back to days for my weekends and vacations.

On workdays, I'll fall asleep anywhere between 1PM...or later. No telling exactly how late, because I oftentimes can't fall asleep. And then I wake up between 8:30 pm and 9:00 pm.

I find that on my vacations, I adjust very well to a good sleeping schedule. Like, I wake up around 6 am. Lol. I'm hoping I maintain that!

If I take naps, it totally messes me up. =/

I am definitely a night owl. I tend to feel my most creative after like 9 PM, typically around the time I *should* be going to bed. :/

What time do you wake up on a typical day? 6:30-6:45 AM on weekdays, 8-9 AM on weekends
What time do you go to sleep? 10:30-11:30 PM Sunday-Thursday, 11 PM or later on Friday & Saturday
What are your feelings about naps? Have never been able to take one properly. 

[Duenia]

I'm very much a night person. I have to get to work by 9 but my brain isn't awake until at least 11 so I'm here for 2 hours trying to wake up.

What time do you wake up on a typical day? 7 - 7:30 after hitting snooze a few times.
What time do you go to sleep? Anywhere between 7 - 11pm depending on how I feel that day.
What are your feelings about naps? <3

Weekends are glorious. I normally go to bed around 1am and get up around 9am.

Although if I'm on a vacation I'll move to 3 or 4 am and get up around noon - 1.

I'm the same way. The creative urge hits like 8-9 pm and then suddenly its 7 am in the morning and I'm ready for sleep. That being said, I've been trying to get my sleep cycle to something a little more functional, since I find I get more of my house chores done if I try to do them in the early afternoon.

Currently:
What time do you wake up on a typical day? 7:30 am
What time do you go to sleep? about 12:00-2am
What are your feelings about naps? Avoid them as much as possible since I end up staying up later because of them.

In the Past:
What time do you wake up on a typical day? 2pm
What time do you go to sleep? 5-6am
What are your feelings about naps? Good if I'm still tired around 5pm, as long as I get up before 7pm.

Night owl to the core.

[Skeen]

Night owl.  I hate everyone and everything before noon. 

[Tzan19]

I saw a fb meme recently that pretty much sums me up.

I am not an early bird or a night owl I am some kind of permanently exhausted pigeon!

I sleep a lot at night, I hate waking up in the morning AND I also nap during the day 

[zombienixon]

I'd say I'm more of a night owl, but my work schedule keeps me from staying up late.  I'm still plenty alert in the morning, but I'm more active at night.  Right now I try to get to bed around 11 and get up at 6 for work.  Fridays and Saturdays I usually go to bed around 2 and get up about 8. 

On some particularly exhausting days, or if I'm not feeling to well, I will have a nap, but otherwise if I'm feeling tired, I'll just have some soda or something for some extra energy.

[kaoskat]

Night owl.

[Honeycomb]

Without noise disturbances I wake up between 10 and 11. Go to bed around 12 or sometimes 1.
If I have to work in the morning, which means getting up at 7, I need to take a nap at 1 pm to function. But that's an acquired thing, the more often you do it, the more your body gets used to it and wants it.
Luckily in my office everybody sleeps at that time, so it's no problem.
My best time of the day is 11 am I think, and 3 pm. I don't work well after 7. My concentration is gone by then.

[scarletjul]

I'm definitely a night owl.  Like others, I feel more creative the later it is.  This is perfectly fine when I'm on vacation (like right now,) but it's a big problem during the school year.

What time do you wake up on a typical day?

Depends.  When I'm at work, usually by 8:30 am.  When I'm on vacation, I try to be awake by 11 am.

What time do you go to sleep?

Between 11:30 pm and 1 am.

What are your feelings about naps?

If I didn't sleep the night before, I'll take a nap.  Otherwise, I tend to skip them.

[Pinkie-kitty]

I guess both? I sleep whenever I have the time. I know that sounds crazy but it's true. Sometimes I go 24-48+ hours before actually sleeping. I usually just have so much to do that I don't spend much time sleeping. Naps are definitely my friend. I usually nap very often to go in between sleeping

That is me also!!!

I have always been a night owl and am more creative at night. I have worked night shift for 16 years and I am not productive until after 5:30 pm on most days. Even my days off. If I have things to do that has to be done before business hours, I have to set the alarm to actually get up and do it, otherwise by the time I remember it's closed and can't be done.

What really sucks is that most places don't run on the 24 hour clock so if I have to go to the doctor or pay bills I have to get up during the day.... YUCK!

Little Tribble is the same way. Right now that he is on Summer vacation (he is 6) he gets up around 10 am and goes to bed around midnight. The Doctors had to put him on melatonin before preschool so that we could get his sleep pattern in order (we would fight with bedtime anywhere from 10 pm to 5am) If he can keep himself moving he can keep himself awake.

I heard somewhere that the time you are most awake has to do with the time you were born. I was born after midnight, Little Tribble after 11pm. I don't know how true this is but of the 3 people I know we were all born way late and are night owls.

What time do you wake up on a typical day? usually by 2pm but after I go to sleep I wake up about every 2-3 hours; 5:30pm (when working)
What time do you go to sleep? normal day = 2-4am; 9-10am (when working)
What are your feelings about naps? Take them all the time, then usually wish I hadn't. I normally wake up feeling worse than when I laid down. And my naps aren't those little 30min to an hour naps. If I fall asleep, I sleep for 3-4 hours!

[Barnacle_lady]

I can be both Waking up early gives me the feeling I have a whole day to spend. But after a night out and late to bed sleeping in is also chill by me.
If I work 7 am is the most likely time to wake up. And I go to bed at 11-12 most of the time.
And I do enjoy a good nap too on day offs In the mediteranes its normal to have siësta
