Are you an owl or a lark?

I like to go to bed late, and get up early. I also happen to frequently wrestle with insomnia. Insomnia usually kicks my rear. Speaking of owls, two nights ago I was walking my dog at 10pm so he could do his business. I never get close to the fence at the back because there are a lot of trees, and behind the trees is a place where flood waters go if the area ever floods (and it has). Behind that are a bunch of houses. So I'm walking, and I hear, hoo, hoo, hoo. I look around and think, no way is there an owl in those trees. It just didn't seem natural. So I keep walking and I hear hoo, hoo, hoo. My dog wants to run over there, but I never get close to the fence because you can't tell if anyone is back there or not. We walked further and I finally had my suspicions confirmed, I heard hoo, hoo, ack, hoo. Seems this owl had a very masculine cough. Hmmm...

I am most certainly a lark. I would rather get up early than stay up late. My body clock works well from early am until about 3 in the afternoon. When we rented a house I used to love to sit on the patio drinking coffee and listening to the birds wake up. The enve have their own order of who chirps when in the am. Chirp, chirp!

When I am asleep my wife says I am a "bear". HAHAHAHA! meaning I snore and toss and turn way too much for her liking. Now I would classify myself as an owl type as I sleep maybe 4 hours a night which is sufficient enough for my body. I never like getting up early nor sleeping in late so I am sort of a lark in that respect as well. Oh hell let's just say I am a BEAR. HAHAHAHA! "Growwwwwwllllll! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

hey nice to hear from you (do owl hibranate???) but seriously, i am an lark (or maybe a pumpkin because i turn into 1 around 11 pm - i fall asleep on my feet!) i generally wake up early (ish) on the weekends - around 8 or so...

Hoot, hoot, hoot to my fellow night owl friend. Most certainly am I a night owl. Like you I can get up early if I really must, which means going to bed much earlier than accustomed to, which I HATE. I have to admit I'm brain-drained today for instance and not all "there" I went to bed super late, as I got involved with "discovering" my iMovie feature on my Mac computer that I never used before. I discovered I could make a "movie" with my photos, with fade in, fade out words, and even added a soundtrack to it. I had such fun puttering around with it that time flew by and before you know it it was about 5 in the morning! And I didn't get to sleep until about an hour later--ONLY to be rudely awaken as the electricians wanted to access each apartment to do the final hookups for switching over to the circuit breaker system rather than fuses. They said they could come back at another time, but figured crap let me get this done and over with. So I only had four hours sleep, not a happy camper here, and my mind is mush, but once I'm awake, I'm awake. Now just why is it though, most night owls are usually of the creative mode and vice versa...I take you are of the creative persona yourself, right??

Hehehe, I'm a owl too. I usually sleep around 3am like now It's already 2am here in my country and I will wake up at around 9am to start my day. I got used to it coz before my part time job usually at night. But sometimes also if there's something important to do in the morning I'm forced to wake up at very early.

Like the creature I am, a wolf I am a nocturnal animal, I'm always alive, awake and active at night, so in answer to your question definitely a lark. I had to get up at 7.45 this morning and I was like a wolf with a sore head, not nice for people to see me, especially after a full moon! Big hooter me ;0)

definately an owl I like staying up late even if I knwo I have to be up early in the morning to work ANyhow, when I can , I like sleeping in ... so Owl But at night I alternate sounds ... hoot .. chirp ...hoot ...chirp LOL

i hate getting up early so i guess that makes me an owl!

Well I would have to say that there are elements of both in me. I do stay up late as in 1 am or so but I also get up at 6 am for work. On the weekends I do sleep later as in maybe 10 or 11 am. I have bad sleeping habits for sure since it is obvious I don't sleep enough. But the system seems to work ok for me. On weekends when I get that extra sleep, I am a lot slower accomplishing things.

I'm a lark at heart but an owl in practice. Nevertheless I do more or less bounce out of bed approximately 8 hours from the time I went there, regardless of when that might have been. The chirping sound is more appealing to me than the hooting sound, too, and yes I do my best work in the morning, so I do try not to stay up later than 2 a.m. in order not the miss the whole next morning. But there is much to be said for staying up late, too, and regardless of what time it is, I'm one of those who just does not want to ever stop what I'm doing to go to sleep, although, it is quite often necessary. The torment isn't so much getting up as going to bed.

hi, Now I found who is like me, I am also an owl and No body is dare enough in my house to wake up early in the morning I love to sleep late and wake up late

Hello again... Good to see you back here more often. It is not a big reach for anyone to know my natural tendencies. Of course they are that of an owl. I have always been able to stay up late and like you keep crazy nocturnal hours and manage quite well. My hubby on the other hand is a lark and we have had to learn how to interesting juggle and to adapt to our different patterns. Sometimes he willingly stays up late when we are doing something we enjoy together. Other times I will rally myself and go to bed early when when we have to get up earlier in the morning. So overall we do quite well in supporting each other and adapting as we need to. We feel fortunate to be self-employed and work, play and relax on our own schedule rather than being forced into an artificial one because we work for others. Fun topic, Raia

I am 75% lark, 25% owl. I usually am early to bed, early to rise. But once in a while I stay up late for one reason or another, and enjoy sleeping in, if I can. Usually I can't because my son is up early every day. Once he is up we are all up.

I am definitely a night owl. Sometimes I wish I weren't. My husband is a lark. He is in bed by 9:00 some nights. I find the quiet of the evening after everyone has gone to bed "my time". I try and force myself to go to bed at a decent time but it doesn't always happen. Going to bed "early" is not an option due to my health. I will not go to sleep if I go to bed early. So part of it is of my own doing, and part of it is health-related. Whichever way you look at it, I'm a real hoot!

I'm neither an owl or a lark. But I'm definitely a bunny. I sleep when I feel like sleeping. I stay awake when I feel like staying awake. I didn't bother to check on the clock nor use any alarm clock. The only time I turn into an owl is when this little babycake of mine kept me entertained all through out the night, lol.

Well considering I work midnight shift, I am an owl. I have always been a night person. I don't do mornings, in fact I have a shirt that says much to that affect. So I guess I hoot...lol.

I guess you could say I'm a lark. I like to get up early and start my day as soon as I wake up, but I don't really go to bed that early. Between the two, I chirp.lol

Hello there. I am an OWL in denial. I want to be a Lark but been finding it very difficult to turn in early. =( I think I am suffering from insonmia. Sob sob. I'll also sleep only during the wee hours of the night. As a result, I find it extremely difficult to wake up early even though I have to do that almost everyday. The result of being an OWL for me is... dark eye rings... LOL

I am an owl... I don't give a hoot about early rising, and while I do consider my life a lark, I would never want to be one. Not only that I don't sing well.
