Are you an "Early Bird" or a "Night Owl"?

I am a confirmed night owl by nature, and that tendency has gotten much worse over the past few months. Since I do have a day job, anything extra I want to do has much less time available. I create and sell bead and wire jewelry, as well as make some of my own beads and components. I have also started to teach classes on how to make jewelry. That's all in addition to the normal stuff, cleaning, laundry and all that. Oh and did I mention hubby and I have a boat. I have no time to sleep, and in order to get up early you need to go to bed early. I have NO time for that... So how about you? Which one are you?

I used to always be an "awake" person. I was a kid who didn't like to nap or go to sleep because I was always afraid I'd miss something. Then I turned into a teenager who just liked to sleep and would sleep half of my day away when I wasn't in school! Then I turned into a night owl where I'd go out till dawn and stay up late all the time and hate to get up early even though I had to to go to work. Now, I don't sleep well so I usually go to bed when I can and always always wake up before 7 am whether I have to work or not. So I'd say these days...I'm more of an early bird by bad sleeping problems than by choice!

Yup - that was me, especially the hibernating teen part.

without a doubt i think all teens go through that phase. frankly i am still a night owl because I can stay up all hours but because I don't sleep well and I'll still wake up early that also makes me an early bird because I'll end up getting ready and going out only to realize stores aren't even open yet! it's crazy.

Complete night owl, only problem is I also work days so I become exhausted and go to work tired. Only problem I really have is that I have nothing to do when I stay up late and wish I had some sort of money making hobby. Any suggestions? and no I don't know how to make jewellery :)

I am sure there are any number of things that you could have as a money making hobby. There are things I dabble in that I probably could sell, but haven't YET. Is there anything you would like to learn to do?

I am an early bird. If I sleep in too late I feel like I have missed half of the day. I do my work first.....then early afternoon I take a quick nap. That refreshes me enough to stay up a little later. I also have hobbies and do them in the afternoon.
