Are you a leaper or a dragger?

i am a leaper. i go to bed early and get up early, i am a early bird, and never need alarm clock.

I had ever been a dragger like you for many years.It was very difficult for me to get up immediately when the clock ring.But now I have become a typical leaper.I think it suits me very much.I am more vigorous than I was and full of energy.haha.the feeling is pretty well.

Dragger! ... and grumbler. *she hangs her head in shame* Much like you in this reguard, actually. I don't sleep well at night, but after 15 minutes or so I'm awake and happy to be so. I battle insomnia and occassionally give into the dreaded 'sleep aid' just to get a good night's sleep. A few back-to-back nights of good sleep and I do wake refreshed, raring to go. Still not a leaper at those times. I sleep in a raised, four poster bed (that requires a step stool to get into) and leaping out of it before my first cup of java might be hazardous to my health.

I guess you have already figured out that I was a very good student. You know what, this is called narcissistic. Haha, sorry about that. Well, I used to get up very early in the morning listenning the VOA news. As you know, English is my second foreign language. Anyway, I gotta find a way to learn it well. Then, being an early bird, that was how I and most other English learners dealed with it. If you visited my campus, you could find that there were English learners reading English everywhere. However, since my English is sort of Ok now, I think I need more sleep. It is just that it is not a big deal anymore for me to communicate with any native speaker. Notwithstanding, to be honest, my English accent is still kind of weird. For reasons,it is sort of American accent, sort of Chinese accent, sort of Japanese accent, sort of Korean accent. First, my university English teacher was an American. So, you know where my American accent came from. Hmmmm, I am a Chinese and the Chinese English accent is inbred. Also, when I was a small kid, I learned some "strange" English from my Japanese grandpa. Finally, in my freshman year, my best friend was a korean. Koreans really spoke awful English. We had to mix Chinese, English and Korean together when we talked with each other. There was a saying. One who keeps company with the wolf, will learn to howl Oh my gosh, this response was so chaotic. Hope it didn't confuse your mind so much.

Did you ever see "The Great Race"? Remember the scene where Max says, "hey professor, rise and shine"? And the professor replies, "rise and shine? RISE and SHINE??? You rise. You shine." That's my favorite scene in the entire movie. Can you guess why? :-)

I am always awake anymore way before the alarm goes off. Then I just lay here and watch it till it does. Still I wouldn't consider myself a leaper exactly because I don't get right up. It's not my job to get these kids ready for school and I refuse to do it. I call there Momma and get her up to do it. When everyone is ready to go then I start my 'taxi' run that gets everybody off to where they need to be.

Is there a third variety of those like having to be kicked all the way out of bed ? . I guess that puts me in the dragger category. The alarm is on, it rings, i shut it off and back to sleep in a wink. On most mornings , my dad then knocks on the door and asks " Dont you have to go to the office ? " and then it's Huh"- Isnt today a holiday ? It's not. One more shout from him and atleast my eyes are all open. It's probably because i sleep late. Just cannot get myself to sleep early.

I think that I am blessed James.I just fall asleep at 11pm sharp nowadays and gets up by 5,45 Am sharp for my morning walk.I just jump out of my bed looking forward to that morning stroll with my Ipod.

I quess you can call me a leaper and ready to go,as long as i get 3 hour sleep i am ok.I am a morning person ,love to watch the sun raise and set.

Hahaha.... I am out and out a dragger in capitals. I just cannot jump out of my bed even when I have to keep up an early appointment. My alarm keeps snoozing for 2-3 times before it actually force me out of my bed. I can drag on and on and on till forever. But since that's not feasible (I do reach office in time), I really struggle to open my eyes wide.

No doubt about it...I'm a dragger. I force myself up and I need coffee...2 at least & then force myself to that shower. Then I'm usually awake enough to keep going. The key for me is to NOT sit down after that shower....get dressed & do my hair & then I run out and grab a iced Dunkins coffee. Takes about an hour tops and then I'm good for hours and hours....actually...hyper. I work nites and so get about the same amount of sleep as you do. I insist on getting up early tho....don't want to waste my days sleeping....plenty of time for that when I die. the worst thing I do is on occasion, I get dumb and think that even tho I shut the alarm off, I can shut my eyes for just 5 more mins. That NEVER works! I'll wake up 3 hours later...angry at myself.

Oh I'm like you, definitely a dragger. And a life-long one at that! I never seem to get enough sleep and find it so hard to get up and be enthusiastic about the day until I've had a shower and some kind of tea. My mum had such a job getting me out of bed to go to school when I was younger. She used to tell me to get up, but I kept falling asleep and dreaming that I'd got up and dressed. Only to be woken up again a few minutes later... I'd love to be one of the people who jump out of bed, and ideally get straight out of the house, to make the most of the whole day!

It takes a lot to get me out of bed in the morning. I have my alarm set for an hour before I have to get up so I can comfortably hit the snooze button several times each morning. My husband is the opposite. When his alarm goes off, he is up, no questions asked. If he isn't, he is sick. At least I know that even if I want to over-sleep, I won't because he will make sure I am up.

Everyone who sleep less then 5 hour are a dragger, include myself. I Like to stand up before 6:00 and see the light of morning, but it is barely impossible. The lights of city do not alow me to fall sleep before 11:00 pm. Most of time I go to my bed after 2:00 Maybe a sleep mask and a heard-slap may help , but i never try ^^

Neither. I usually always wake up and calmly sit up and scoot out of bed. I'm rarely bursting with energy at the start of a day, but lately I have felt rather...shall we say...awesome? lmao. And even when I feel tired, it's rare for me to drag myself out of bed. I don't like sleep. If it weren't for the fact that it's vital to my body's repairative process...I wouldn't do it. I've always considered sleep an extreme waste of time. So much to do, experience, learn about...in this world, and I waste my time eight or so hours a night doing nothing but allow my subconcious (who is a jerk, I tell you!) to play. I'm an insomniac, too. Partially because of that reason, but also because I've a very restless mind (ergo, the whole 'my subconcious is a jerk!')...but lately I've been getting better sleep because I've responsibilities that require me to be up without fail and without struggling against exhaustion.

For the most part, I'm more of a leaper than a dragger, James. I've been told that I'm just entirely too cheerful in the mornings and more than once. Actually, I've been told that I'm entirely too cheerful ANY time of day. There are folks out there that react very strongly to that type of personality and often, it seems, will react to it quite negatively, even dismissively. But if they see more of me, they usually end up liking me. I guess that leaping can be quite startling, dontcha think? But once a leaper, always a leaper. But not a graceful leaper, James. I think I'm more of a Lucille Ball leaper. In any case, it's great to talk at ya, darlin. Thanks for the discussion!!!!

Dragger, definitely. I sleep until the last possible second on weekday mornings and actually have my routine timed right down to the second so I can still get to work on time. I even have my clock set ahead so I can 'trick' myself into getting up earlier! (It doesn't work)

I suppose in this case I'm a leaper. I have 2 1/2 year old and an almost 7 month old. I'm up with the baby in the night for diaper changes and bottles, then up early in the morning when they both are ready to get up. I don't have a choice but to be a leaper. Though, there are times I truly wish I could be a dragger. I mean, just once, would it be nice to stay curled up in bed lol. Though, even in my younger days I never stayed in bed. I always was up and at 'em. I love to be active, so I generally am up doing something. It's funny because I'm a night owl as well, but manage to get up each morning early-always have been. However, I should qualify it all by saying I definately need my tea or coffee in the morning. Namaste-Anora

DRAGGER!!! I could not sleep early at night, I usually doze off around two or three in the morning and so it is very difficult for me to wake up early or even have myself get out of bed.

i would say that i am a leaper. i like to do things all at once if that is what it means. i do not like to drag things out, all that does for me is make it harder to do things. i rather just get what i am doing done as soon as possible then wait over time to do them.
