Morning bird vs. Night owl?

I cannot wake up early by instinct no matter how hard I try. I know it's bad for me, but I usually stay up until the wee hours of the night. Every year, the time I usually go to bed gets later and later just by habit.

 

I used to be a morning person but as I've gotten older, I started to prefer to stay up since I could be by myself and have that time of solitude and be able to do just about whatever I want.

 

I stayed up until 2am last night. This is more typical than I'd like to admit.

 

I am very much an early bird - I'm up and around at 50am even when I don't have to be, 6am at the absolute latest. I've always been an early riser - it's a habit I developed when I was at school, and kept because I have a very loud younger brother who doesn't understand that he has to stay in bed if he wakes up early...or didn't back then, anyway. I like doing things in the morning and getting them out the way so I can relax in the afternoon, and I've never encountered anything so urgent that I can't just put it off for a night and do it early the next day.

...it does put me at odds with a lot of timezones, though...

 

I have a similar approach, except I take it in the opposite direction. Rather than going to bed late so I can be alone, I go to bed early. I can go to bed at 8 and be alone from that time forward instead of waiting for everyone else to go to bed at 10; and when I wake up at 7 on the weekend and probably have a solid 2-3 more hours before anyone else is up.

That said, I'm mostly on the early bird side of things. Mostly because my job has me waking up early. If I worked a late shift I'd become a night owl, but I play the cards I'm dealt: waking up at 4:30 five times per week. You get used to it.

 

I have trouble not going to bed too late- does that answer the question?

Haha though, I remember that one time I waked up really early after going to bed at a reasonable hour. But it seems no matter how hard I try, it's not convincing enough for me to stop staying up late.

 

I'm usually asleep by 10 P.M. and awake by 6 A.M. I try to stay up later, usually on the weekends, but then I sleep until well into the next day (usually after noon).
I'm most likely a little of both, but I used to stay up so late compared to now. But now I've got a rhythm to follow, and it's an important one, too.

 

A little bit of both. I work every morning pretty much so I'm forced to be up and I stay up late or early depending on how tired I am.

 

Early Bird catches the worm. I always Wake up at 6 in the morning. Not the earliest one could wake up, but I tend to always wake up early and go to bed early. Its a habit I got during school and will keep with me the rest of my life probably.

 

Waking up at 6 A.M. everyday has already become a habit for me. It's only natural that I've become an early bird.
