Are You A Night Owl?

[atszyman]

You should do what my parents did with me when I was toddler and woke up too early. They'd just put us in a play-pen/jail infront of the TV then go back to sleep

1. She'd climb out and probably hurt herself
2. She'd scream loud enough to have CPS called (and I don't want to start a record with them until absolutely necessary...)
3. We already use the TV too much... so darn convenient... I'd like to phase it out more but sometimes you just need to turn your kid into a zombie for 5 minutes to remain sane....

i used to be a night person, mainly coz i worked at night, etc. But these days, opposite, I like to try to be in bed asleep by 10:30. some nights I crawl into bed at 9. I just love my sleep!

get up around 6 or 6:30... try to be at work by 8am for a 4pm finish

In bed by 8, and home by 11. Giggity giggity gig-i-ty.

Nah, I'm a morning owl. We get up at 5am, and lately with the new kidlet I'm up later or earlier - whenever he's up. For the last 3 months I've been surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep a night. And I'm supposed to be juggling like 6 projects worth about $18 million at work and keep it all straight...

Before this I liked to get about 8-9 hours of sleep a night. I'm hurtin...

Absolutely. Universities should have exemptions for night people. It's so hard to stay sharp in those a.m. classes!

Lately, I go to bed around 3:30am and rise at 9:30am.

I'll take the egg, put bleu cheese dressing on it, take a bite, then put more dressing on it, take a bite, so forth and so on. When I reach the yolk, I usually get rid of it...

You just got rid of the best part!


As for me, yes, I am definitely a night owl. Every day by 6:00 pm I'm absolutely exhausted, but by 9 or 10 I'm completely awake and can't get to sleep.

I'm normally quite a nightowl, but sleeping until 2:00 PM makes me feel like kind of a loser. I've been trying to adopt a fairly "normal" sleep schedule this week, but so far I've just had insomnia like crazy. It's really beginning to piss me off.

 

[SamIchi]

If I didn't have school, I'd be goin to sleep at 4AM every night. I'm definitely a night owl. I hate waking up, and I like to have a good amount of sleep.

 

[dllavaneras]

Totally. I have absolutely no problem staying up until 4-5 in the morning, even after a long, long day of hiking or swimming. I work and study better at night, so I'm usually up until 1-2 am on school nights. The real killer is getting up at 4:30 to get to 7 am classes...

 

[Zwhaler]

I am. I can't possible fall asleep before 11:00 anymore. But in other words, yes I am comfortable going to sleep at around 2-2:30 and wasking up at around 1 in the afternoon.

 

[smueboy]

Absolutely i'm a night owl - but the problem is, it snow-balls, and the later i go to bed the later i get up and so on.... luckily i can do whatever i want in my job (hell, my boss doesn't come in before 11am usually).

The problem is, right now my body's australian time, and i should be on US eastern time...

 

[siurpeeman]

any night i'm not required to wake up early the next day i'll usually be up until 4 or 5 in the morning.

 

[Grakkle]

I don't know, really. I guess I usually stay up till midnight-1 A.M., if that counts as a night owl.

I'm sort of in between, I guess.

 

[Peterkro]

Hmm 3.40,where are the UK people,guess I'm a bit of a night owl.

Actually since arcsbite just put his Macbook up for sale in Marketplace I'm not the only one.

 

[Lovesong]

It's kinda strange. About 4 years ago I used to work night***** at a homeless shelter (one of those 11pm-7am shifts). I stopped working there in 2003, and I still have problems falling asleep at night. During school, I find that I'm the most productive at night, when I have no distractions, and in all honesty, I don't even feel drowsy after an all-nighter. I guess my biological clock is all screwed up.
