If I have had enough sleep, I like both early mornings and late nights. But not back to back. I prefer them when they are quiet and there are fewer people are around.

I'm not especially happy early mornings when I have to get 3-4 people up and out the door, two of whom are usually sniping at each other, before I have to go to work. I need to either invest in more rubber bands or a cattle prod to keep them moving so that I am not late for work.

I have Mondays/Tuesdays off, and they don't, so I usually enjoy those mornings after they have left the house. If they haven't given me long 'emergency to-do lists' because they think I am on their clock when I am not at work.

I usually work earlier on weekends, so I am up when the rest of the household members are still sleeping. It's more quiet and peaceful, but I wish they would lay out my clothes while I shower, cook my breakfast, watch the clock for me, make my lunch, hand me my coffee, and warm up my truck more often on their weekends. Like I do for many of them the rest of the week.

This is a great description of my love of early morning and I completely agree with crisp fall air.

That said, I am NOT a morning person at all! I tend to like staying up late (although not the wee hours, more like 11pm-1am) and it takes me a long time to wake up and be functional regardless of how much sleep I get.

I have also, all my adult life, needed more sleep than your average bear. I can function with 8 hrs., do much better with 10 and have slept 12+ if not woken up. I have a strange job in that it is a very small co. and I work part-time, in the sense that If we have orders in, I will work full time anywhere from 1-3 mths. and then could be off the same amount of time until the next orders come in.

When I am working, I try to get to bed early enough and wake up at 7am. Then I need coffee until around 11 to be functional and productive. When not working, I stay up late (while trying to keep it reasonable because Hubby has to get up at 5:30) and generally never get up before 10. If he's traveling for work than anytime goes. Unfortunately, when getting all the sleep I want and not working, I tend to not be very productive around the house.

In no way, shape, or form am I a morning person.

Left to my own devices, my natural circadian rhythm dictates going to bed around 3am, and getting up around noon or 1pm. I heartily believe mornings are for sleeping, and the only way anyone should have evidence of sunrise is by leaving a camera on automatic all night; otherwise, "dawn" should be semi-mythical.

It doesn't matter how much sleep I get, I just don't enjoy getting up early. Or going to bed early.

Yes! I wake up at 4am, on purpose. The house is quiet, the phone isn't ringing, no tv's are on. I'm alone, it's soo peaceful.

Of course, the downside is by 9pm I'm done for the day. zzzzzzzzzz
