Do you consider yourself a " morning person "?

I'm not a morning person even know I have to be! i get up at 6:00 am and it takes me a good half hour of putzing around to start waking up! Sometimes I'm very crappy when I wake up! It's a good thing I live alone! if I didn't I would be taken it out on the other person! I get up so early 6 days a week because of my other job. I do morning feeding at the stable I board my horse at! If I didn't do this I couldn't afford his board! Working it off is what I do! So this is why I get up so darn early!

Now there are two of us. Do you do stretches or some kind of early morning exercises? I don't and perhaps that's one of the many reasons why i am not a morning person. I must start doing that and tomorrow is just perfect. I know that would take a lot of adjustment to my morning routine but if it would make me healthier and a better person in the morning then the more reason for me to do it. Hi, olydove! What do you think?

I can't call myself a morning person. I wake up with messed hair .. and oil ready to drop off my face. and bad breath and back ache some times well usual times!! I don't like to work in morning i always hate to going to school early morning. And now I hate going to collage early morning. Apart from getting my self cleaned and having a break fast I don't like doing anything. But since last two months I am trying to shape up a little bit. So I wake up at 5 am in the morning and go for jogging.. though I sometimes go back to sleep right after it. I am still trying adjust with it.. Let see.

It's already 1:30am here at the Philippines and still I'm awake. I just want to post more comments this time. I'm gonna sleep later and maybe I'll wake up 9am-10am by that time I'll just lying on the bed thinking what's my breakfast. :)

I love to wake up in the early hours of the day...I would love to take a walk in breath in the fresh air, it's such a quite beautiful time. However, I am also a night person, and love the walks in the night air, staying up to watch a good movie, or playing on the computer. Therefore my mornings pass by me, because I go to sleep too late at night. I guess we can't have both.

Oh, this is a new word to me "Morning Person". Well, I am not!! On the contrary, if there's an antonym to it then I am a "Night Person", lol!! Actually, I sleep late nights around 2-3 am. So, I get up late at around 9:30 or even 10 am. And when I get up, I feel even more sleepy!! It takes more than 3-4 hours for me to completely gain momentum and energy!!

while I am not inclined to being a morning person I do find that once I am up I AM UP I do not take coffee or other stimulants to get my day started. I have a difficult time getting to sleep at night - too.

Hi olydove, I don't think I am a morning person. Instead, I think I am more of a night person. I tend to "wake up" at night and I feel I have more energy at night at weird hours than throughout the morning or afternoon. Cheers!

No, not really. I am usually asleep in the morning because i stay up late at night. I would end up sleeping early in the morning just because of my online obligations. I would wake up somewhere between 10am and 11am. So that's the few hours left before noon strikes. Maybe in high school, you can say i'm a morning person because i would be awake a early as 5am.

Same here. I am not also a morning person because I hate the the sun and the heat. But since I have school, I am forced to wake up in the morning. What I usually do to "wake myself up" is I listen to fast music (techno or hip hop). I don't depend much on coffee because I don't like the effect of caffeine.

hi there, well cerainly i share the same episode as you. I am not a morning person at all either. Well it boggles my mind sometimes when i started thinking how people actually wake up like so early in the morning and seem like the can take on a bull coming. Well this certainly does not work for me at all. I have tried waking up numerous times in the morning even setting up an alarm. But it does not make it any better. It actually makes me feel even worst. well i need to like sleep for about until maybe 12pm and then i would feel good the whole day. Well maybe i sleep late at about three or four in the morning sometimes. But even when i sleep early i still cant wake up at seven in the morning or six in the morning and feel so good and refreshed. I certainly think it is a individual thing and how people feel towards it. But as for me, i am preety sure i am not a morning person. Anyway have a nice day and happy mylotting. best regards, alvingb

Not at all. I'm terrible at waking up in the morning and I would much prefer the night time. I just love to stay up to like 4 AM, and I hate waking up at like 6 AM. Even with coffee, mornings still seem to get the best of me. I'd say to wake up with more energy, go to bed earlier. If you get more sleep you have more energy. I wake up still asleep.

Hi olydove, I'm not a morning person either, I have to have coffee or tea and sit to think a while before I'm ready for the day. I've noticed that if I do a few, slow strething calisthenics that it helps my foggy head. Or a walk on the property with the fresh morning air. But I can't leap into anything fast paced for sure. I hope this helps.

Hey, I'm just like you but it takes more around 10 minutes for me to wake up but even then I still feel sleepy. More than half the time I find myself sleeping in class which I know isn't good but I can't help it. But as the time go like to around 12:00pm I start feeling awake. Now summer is here and the best part is that I can sleep for as long as I want lol.

I guess i am the morning person after all since i am always eager to get up in the morning to start off the day.As for me as soon as the clock strikes 6 i will automatically arise from bed and wont feel sleepy anymore.Music will be my companion every morning to aid me to get into the mood of doing something.I am always eager to get up to do something in the morning and i am always full of energy and only by evening then i would start to feel a little tired but not that tiring yet.Usually by 12 i will start to feel sleepy and i only takes 6 hours sleep a day and i think it is sufficient enough though.

I am definately a morning person. I can just get up and go. Its the evenings that I can't handle and start to get cranky.

Nope. I never have the habit of waking up early in the morning. I always go to bed late at night and wake up around 8.30 or 9 Pm and it takes a minimum time of 15 minutes to go to brush my teeth from bed and I feel energetic only during the noon hours. Till then I will always be sleepy and sick. I would like to be called myself a morning person but the fact is I am a Night owl and not an early lark. Thanks for starting such a good discussion as I have always been curious to know about the sleeping habilts of other people and it is quite heartening to see many are of my kind. I mean many people in this forum hate to get up early in the morning. Moreover, if it is a weekend, then my wake up time would be definitely a minimum around 10.30 Am and I wish everyday is a sunday so that I can have a hearty sleep and get up very late in the morning:)

I am a active person in the weekdays -no need of coffee to wake up. I will just get from bed and wash my face and within few seconds , I will be fresh. But in the weekends, I am so much inactive. Generally, in weekends I will wake up only at 9am. It will take nearly 12am to be active.
