There was another thread last year that kind of touched on this, but focused on the idea that 'early risers' tend to be more successful. The thread there seemed to rapidly progress into a discussion of what you might consider successful.

I'd like to revisit this issue with the following questions in mind: If you consider yourself a Night Owl, do you find that you are staying up and getting lots of important work accomplished? Or are your late night sessions more devoted to video games, music, watching movies or just chilling out? If the latter is the case, do you consider yourself to be a lazy person (not judging here, just asking)? Do you find that you do your 'work' during the day, and just wind down at the end of the day... that tends to stretch into the night.

I'm a morning person myself. When I do get up, I tend to start a lot of projects early in the day and get a lot accomplished right from the start. Whether it is running several loads of laundry or getting in a workout or paying bills, it is usually done before my spouse wakes up. Allowing for the fact that I'm also a goal-oriented person and focused on efficiency, this isn't very surprising.

On the flip-side of the coin, are there any self-identified early risers that wake up and just go hang out and waste time for a while?
