But You'll Never Prove It.

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.

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.
