Which do you fall under?
-
Sorry, what was the question? :zzz:
I'm tired all the time! But that's mostly a health thing... when I'm feeling more normal, I'm a total night owl.
-
If I could sleep during the day and stay up at night, that would be lovely. The day is nice, don’t get me wrong. But I like nighttime because of the animals and other things you see at night. Like auroras and stars. I’m more energetic and productive in the night, making it much better for me.
-
Night Owl for sure. Very productive at night, but a douche to weak up in the morning :biggrin:
-
Party Peacock, baby! Wide awake no matter what! :awake:
I go either way, it depends on if I'm in the school semester or on break. I don't actually sleep 'til I'm nearly falling asleep standing up and I hate doing nothing. I sleep late and wake up with the sun.
-
I'm very much an early bird! I wake up nearly every morning between 6:00 and 6:30 without an alarm. When I do set an alarm, I always beat it by at least a couple of minutes! I physically cannot sleep past 8:00am unless I am completely and absolutely exhausted, and I haven't slept past nine in over four years hahahaha My current job involves early mornings, so it suits me well.
The flip side is that I have a lot of trouble staying up late unless I'm up and doing something. My friends have so many pictures of me falling asleep on their shoulders from trying to watch a movie at night or something. The main issue is I start getting tired around 9:30pm, and I'll often fall asleep in the middle of whatever I'm doing starting at around 10:00pm. Then I'll stay asleep until around 11:30 or so, wake up, and then feel "rested" so I'll end up staying up later than I should and then I kick off the whole cycle again. One of my close friends is a major night owl so it drives him bonkers because he'll often text me at around 9:30 wanting to pick me up and go for a drive or something and I'll have already been in my pajamas for ages haha
-
Total night owl here, I hate to be up as early as 7am I would rather sleep till about 8-9am then go work.
-
Early bird! I wake up early and go to bed early. I quite enjoy the morning... Peace and quite, a bit cold, no one else around, birds chirping... It's nice.
-
I'm a Permanently Exhausted Pigeon :zzz: Usually no matter how early I go to bed I am still tired the next day but I think I have some underlying health issues that are part of my problem. I'm an early bird and am wide awake by 8:00 am.

What would "Wake up at 7AM, take a nap at 2PM and then go to bed at 1AM" fall under?

If only I knew!

I'm usually a very early bird but all the travel and irregular schedule from the pony fair has me up at 11pm. I rarely stay up past 9:30 because I like getting up anywhere from 6am-7:30.
-
In high school and before I was NOT an early bird in any way, shape or form. However, ever since I have shifted to very much being so. It was very beneficial for me the last couple of years at university - I could get up early and after showering/eating/etc. I could still find time for homework/practicing. I ended up leaving homework for mornings when I was really busy.
The downside to it is that I pretty much don't have any option. My body will not let me sleep in anymore, and to be honest, I pretty much never get the eight hours of sleep I need.
Permanently Exhausted Pigeon fits me, too. After working nights for several years, I always get sleepy in the middle of the day.
-
Permanently Exhausted Pigeon, definitely. I'm so used to waking up early that I do so automatically (still set an alarm just in case) I tend to go to bed at a reasonable time (about 11pm) when there's work in the morning, then the weekend comes, any notions of being sensible go out of the window and I usually stay up 'til about 3am doing fun things.
-
I get up at 5am so I can have the house to myself for 90 minutes in the morning. Also because my adrenal glands won't allow me to sleep in. I often fall asleep between 7-9pm. Don't think that I'm energetic, though. I'm perpetually tired.
-
I'm a bit of both. I tend to stay up late, wake up early, and have a nap during the day if my schedule allows for it. If I have school the next day I go to bed early, though.
-
I'm a night owl, in that I only "wake up" around 9PM. At that point I have been awake since 5:30 AM and should be tired, but I spend all day exhausted and then *DING* it's time to start some long, involved project because I am wired!
-
Night owl. so much so that I did not get Jet lag when I moved to China from NY and its a 12 hr difference.
-
I guess I'm an early bird these days. But that's only because I have animals to get up and take care of before leaving for work in the mornings. After dinner I am exhausted and must take about an hour nap though, just so I have the strength to finish the day and get to bed. I can not sleep more than 6 or 7 hours, I just get a huge headache if I'm laying down longer than that. Plus I just have too much to get up and do, so my body just wakes me up.
Back in the day (college) I was a total night owl, though! I used to be able to sleep for like 12 hours. O.O

That's me too! I don't get it either. Tired all day long and then night happens and I'm ready to go running.
I will say that I live in a hot climate and love the outdoors. But I can't stand the intense sun and have to wait till it cools off to go out. Even so, I still get a little sunburned every year.
-
I'm definitely a tie between a night owl and a permanently exhausted pigeon. I don't like falling asleep, but I love sleeping. Once I fall asleep I can stay asleep for hours (19 hours is my record), and when I'm awake I'm always exhausted >_<

Me too! I can sleep all day, and be exhausted all day, but at around 11pm my brain goes ping and I'm awake all night :lol:
-
I wake up with the sun too. I hate winter and dark mornings so I have a sun lamp which is amazing. So I’m definitely an early bird as long as the sun does actually come up. I love working and like to be busy so tend to stay up late too. I’m lucky I only need about 5-6 hours sleep max unless I’m really ill or something! My wife on the other hand is the complete opposite and sleeps like the dead!! She can easily do 12 hours uninterrupted sleep!
-
I picked exhausted pigeon, because that's how I feel lately with everything that we're juggling right now. I have to get up early for work but I'd like to sleep in later. Weekends I get a bit more sleep but not a lot as my body is in up early mode (even if my head doesn't agree).
I end up crashing around 10 because that's my work bedtime. So even when I get up later, I can't stay up later.
-
I made it til 9am this morning which I count as a very successful weekend lie in! :cheer:
-
It's a tie between early bird and permanently exhausted pigeon. I've always been an early bird except for the years I worked at a movie theatre and worked late evenings to early ams. Nowadays I wake up around 7 am, but is constantly exhausted (mostly health related tho) and easily fall alseep around 9-10 pm. On my days off I often take a midday nap as well and still go to bed early.
-
Permanently Exhausted Pigeon. Up at 5 am to let the dog out. Some days I work two jobs and get home a bit before 10 pm. Even days that I don't work late my husband thinks there's no excuse to go to bed before 9 pm. While I don't work a physically demanding job, I'm just tired all the time.
-
I am a Permanently Exhausted Pigeon. :zzz: However, I really like mornings. I like the peace and quiet, the birds singing, the smells and the beautiful light. ^.^
-
If I have to be up early (before 9 AM) I'll do it but it requires coffee. Sleep, due to health reasons I should be aiming for nine to ten hours a night. Do I get it? Nope, though six hours is pushing it in terms of not being human the next day. Naps are my best friend and I can power nap for four hours if left alone.
-
Another night owl here. My ideal routine would probably be around 1 am bedtime, up at 9-10.
I'm lucky in that I can decide my own working hours, although I aim at working 9 to 5 days, which means I should be getting up by 7.30. Sometimes I'm able to stick with this for a while, but holding onto the routine is a struggle. Mostly it's because it's very difficult for me to go to sleep before midnight. However, unlike many other night owls I know, I'm never grumpy in the mornings. I may have to fight to keep my eyes open, but after I've had coffee and some breakfast I'm usually good to go. :)
I wish I were more of an early bird, because I love those morning hours whenever I wake up earlier without an alarm (and without feeling tired). It's a rare treat. And it always feels like I had been given some extra hours, even if I end up going to bed earlier as a result. I guess morning hours are somehow more productive, though I feel most inspired and creative at night. :shrug:

I'm a bit of an inbetweener... Getting the kids to school and myself to work throughout the week necessitates a moderately early rise of about 7am... and unfortunately the routine is so ingrained now that sleeping in on the weekend, despite how much I want to nowadays, is just difficult. I'll wake by 7.30 at the latest even without alarms :huh: And once I'm awake in the morning, that's it. It's really hard to get back to sleep, even if I'm dog tired.
By 9ish I'm pretty much ready for bed most nights, though I'm usually not asleep until about 10.30 on a routine evening.
