The problem is, I'm not a night person anymore. I'm longing for bed well before 10:00. I don't get there often, but I still long for it.
Even then, I still don't like getting up early. I don't function well in the morning.
Plus, there's the beauty of the morning. How inspiring is it to sit with a cup of coffee and watch the daylight increase. (I'm not saying watch the sun come up because that's a little too fanatical for this non-morning person.) But I do like the early morning, watching a mist rise off the pond behind our house, and the sunlight stream through the trees.
Unfortunately, even if I enjoy the scene, by the time I'm through with it and ready to start my day, I feel like I need a nap.
So now that I'm not a morning person or a night owl, what am I? I think I'm someone whose day got even shorter than it was already!
So tell me--morning person or night owl? And why?
Morning...no question. I love the mornings and am at my best and most productive then. Around 3 I like a cup of tea and a short nap. Then I'm good til about 10.
ReplyDeleteMorning person -- AFTER my coffee. ;)
ReplyDeleteMorning?
ReplyDeleteWhat's that???
I'm a total insomniac and could actually stay up all night and sleep all day, if allowed. I usually make myself go to bed around 1:30 am, then get up at 9:00. I know I'm lucky to be able to keep that schedule. However, I wish I were a morning person, but it's just no happenin'.
Me, I'm a day person, like you I am slow and grumpy in the morning, and tired and grumpy in the evenings.
ReplyDeleteI suppose part of that is being a Mom of two little ones. I'm usually in bed shortly after they go down. I tell myself I'm going to read for a while but rarely make it through a whole chapter or article of anything, whether it be book or magazine before I am sawing logs.
I am a night person. Probably because I have four children and after they are asleep is when I get more accomplished. Yet, I long for more "mornings". I want to give God the first part of me, and not the last part, which when I wait until the evening can be a struggle.
ReplyDeleteMorning person after a shower, especially if it's early. I'm usually relaxing by 9:30pm and sleeping by 10:00 or 10:30pm.
ReplyDeleteI do like getting things done in the first part of the day, but often, in summer, I like to linger in my PJ's and do very little, but too many of those days and I've got a problem with not getting things done.
It always feels good to get things done & then have some fun too.
Take care,
Nannette
I'm definitely NOT a morning person. I was an insomniac until about 5 years ago. Now I'm falling asleep earlier and earlier. I usually hold out until between 11-12pm, but sometimes, I give up earlier. I think things started changing when I hit 30...old age set it. ;-)
