PBnJ Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I love staying up late after everyone else has gone to bed. I love the quiet, the serenity. If I need to get a task finished, I'd rather stay up late to finish it, rather than get up earlier. I feel that the night is available as long as I need it to be to finish. There's only so much time in the morning before everyone else gets up (with their needs, distractions, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingLife Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It really depends on the day but I am mostly a morning person although I do love to sleep past 7 am. I usually set my alarm for 7 am, eat breakfast, go back to bed for another 30 minutes, wake back up to say goodbye to my dad before he leaves for work, make coffee for my mom, and go power walking/jogging with my dog until 9 am. Come home clean up, do my chores and start school then finish around 2:30 or 3:00 pm. By then I am done! I am so tired, then my energy picks back up and I don't fall asleep until 11 pm. In winter I wake up around 8 or so, much later and it is much needed!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm a night owl, just like 3 of my 4 kids. My ds who is a morning person annoys the bejeebers out of his siblings, but he's trained me to get up earlier. And it's nice to see someone with a big ol' grin on his face first thing in the morning when all the rest of us are more likely to bite someone. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetMissMagnolia Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 When I was still a working girl I had to get up early (carpooled with sister while I lived at home)--now that I'm married and a sahm/housewife I am NOT a morning person at all.....not that I get to sleep late mind you LOL but I try to do things later in the morning/afternoon if possible.....

AuntieM Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I am definitely a night owl. However, I have been getting up before 6:30am every weekday now that some of my kids are in private school. Problem is, even though I manage to get up, I still haven't been able to train myself to go to sleep earlier at night. Even if I thought I could, I have a house full of teenagers whose heart-to-heart talk time window typically opens at 10:30pm This schedule is killing me! Seriously, I am starting to have some hair loss and weight gain, which I attribute directly to sleep deprivation. If I don't get a better rhythm worked out soon, I'm going to have to default to my desperate last alternative: shutting off the electricity at 9pm!
