Wake up, little Susie, wake up!

[divalei]

I'm not a morning person. At all. I hate waking up early. My "good morning" is more like "mrhph". I just can't talk or do anything too difficult too early. Morning classes at school, yeah, no. And later I was late like hour or so (probably not the best choice but I graduated with okay grades and got my job title, so...)

I have to get up early about three times per week because I have some activities, psychiatric rehabilitation kind of stuff. Waking up at 7:00 is just meh. Especially when it takes like 20 minutes by bicycle to get to that building and studying/working/whateveryouaresupposedtodo starts at 9:00 (it depends but mostly at 9:00). Good thing is I can focus on studying or working with my games but still... Early wake ups... ugh.

So yeah, I'm evening/night person.

Well I don't dislike morning people, but I absolutely hate mornings. I have a really hard time getting myself to get up and out of bed and I always still feel exhausted.

Dunno im im allowed to post here since Im overnight and well, "morning" for me is 9 pm at night, but considering the fact when I wake up..... it really takes me a while to get ready and go to work! Im not awake until I have a caffine drink on first break LMAO! It was the same when I worked in the daytime.... i frequently slept into late mornings!

[shockponie]

I'm not a morning person at all, but my job forces me to be awake at 3am. Bleh!

[melodys_angel]

lately, no, but when I wasn't sick, yes.

I think it has a lot to do with sleep.  I normally wake up really early its just lately, I cant.

But we also found out my matress--which is UNDER a year old is toast, so...

I've never had any problem getting up early, even if I've only slept a few hours. I am a light sleeper as well so I wake eaily and has never understood the snooze thing. When the alarm goes off, I'm up. However with my work I only have to set the alarm during weekends. My workshift usually begins late afternoon weekdays so I get to wake up by myself almost everyday which is usually around 10 am.

It depends on how I've slept and whether or not I have a cold or sinus infection.

I love mornings, an hate if I sleep in I feel like im wasting my day! I realise I am probally alone in that lol 6 am is my get up time!

There are a few others who are up at that time too. :o)

I agree; I feel the same way. If I sleep till noon or even 9am I feel like I wasted my day

Morning is probably my favourite part of the day and when I sleep in on weekends I feel like I've wasted a lot of time. But I don't like classes at 8 AM that much It's kinda weird that I love mornings, but have a lot of trouble waking up, especially if I haven't slept for over 8 hours. It sounds a lot like what SDS described in the first post, but it still might be that teenager thing (even though I'm 20) that Juliepants mentioned.

[OctoberFlash]

It really depends for me. I usually get 5-6 hours of sleep a night, 7 if I'm lucky - I have a lot of trouble falling asleep earlier than 11pm, and I have to get up at 6am

I'm sure I'd be more of a morning person if I actually got more sleep, haha.

[tikibirds]

i sleep during the day, up all night.

My answer to this question is so extremely complicated. I used to consider myself a morning person. I have a number of chronic illnesses, but in the past I didn't have very much trouble getting up in the morning, and I really enjoyed the morning (with the dew and the morning sun, etc)! But then... dun dun dun... my doctors started messing around with my medications (also, I guess my illnesses may be progressing). Now, due to side effects and all kinds of other issues, it's a major accomplishment if I can get up before noon. Lately I have been doing better about getting up earlier, but I don't know if or when I will be back to waking naturally at 8:00!

I do think that entirely removing caffeine from my diet actually HELPED my sleep problems. The idea that caffeine helps you keep going through the day and feel more energized is kind of a myth (or, at least, not entirely true).

Mooooornings, blechh. *Steamfizzle*

For me, it honestly depends.  I *need* to be active in the morning, as I run my own farm and have a household of critters that all need breakfast (before I even get mine, lol), and if I can keep myself on a good schedule, mornings don't bother me at all.  However, if I get sick and need to take naps/don't sleep well/need more sleep, that throws me off.  If we have overnight company that keeps me up past my set bed time, that throws me off.  During November, when I'm writing my novel, that throws me off.  Heaven forbid a critter needs round-the-clock medical treatment, because that REALLY throws me off!  Getting myself back on schedule is super rough and usually takes a couple of weeks for me.  I try to fix this by setting my alarm half an hour later, but then I'll sometimes end up snoozing a time or two.  This usually goes on for several days before I bite the bullet and move my alarm across the room so I have to physically get out of bed to turn it off.  If I can force myself to do this for a few days, I can turn back into a morning person again

I love mornings, but I don't think they love me. I often wake up well-rested and cheerful, but still take a very long time to get going and am often late for morning classes.
Also, I tend to stay up far too late by accident, so I often miss the actual mornings anyway. I'm just a very distracted person!

So I'm not actually sure how to answer this lol.
