I, too, had Seminary at 6 am in high school. Yet with all those years of getting up early, and college early classes, and the years I worked, I have never been able to transform myself into a “morning person!” My husband gets very frustrated with me, as he is one of those morning people who wakes up EARLY and cannot get back to sleep no matter how hard he tries. So he goes to bed early. My brain wakes up about 9 pm and will not stop running until usually after midnight. The creative program kicks in and if I lay in bed I will just start projects in my head until my body gets restless and I end up somewhere in the house where I won’t disturb anyone…usually on the computer or reading a book. (There are five people living in a small house right now.) Sometimes this dichotomy between us is a good thing, as he can drive our son to Seminary and I can pick him up from late-night activities such as plays he is in or dances he attends. I also make the midnight emergency-room runs by agreement, and when we take a road trip we can drive “straight through” to almost anywhere by taking turns driving when we are alert. I am looking for the “science behind the problem” today to see if this is hard-wired or if we can change some of it. Wish me luck!

Definitely NOT a morning person, I am up late (or is it early) usually until 2AM on the computer blogging or visiting other bloggers. I don’t wake up until around 8:00 and don’t usually get out of bed until noon. But I have an excuse, I have a back and neck disability, so I spend a lot of the time lying down. I usually only get up early if I have to go to the doctor or physical therapy and then I am grumpy all day. I also take at least one nap during the day. I am lucky that I have a WONDERFUL husband who walks the dog in the morning which they really love to do, and he brings me coffee and a nutrigrain bar in bed every morning.

Mornings are NOT for me, not one bit. Back in my high school days I would get up at 6am and run 2 miles in the morning before classes but I swear I was sleep running. These days if I’m up before 10 I’m a grouchy mama. I’m just glad I’ve sleep trained the little ones into waking up no earlier than 9.

Thanks, but my site was never black and pink, LOL! It was black, white, blue and purple for a while. That must be what you were thinking of.

Love the new design! i feel like I was just here and it was still black and pink!

I am a night owl. to the max. I can be so sleepy come 4pm, but come 10 i am wide awake, I could be sick, running on no sleep for 3 days, anything. 10pm comes and I am wide awake.

I used to work at a bakery, Did for 6 years and sometimes had to be there at 3:15. I loved it! i stayed up all night. even turned 21 while doing that shift.

I got up way to early for school. 5:15 every morning. we left at 6am, our only ride. BOOO!

I know what you mean. If I have to get up early, I go to bed earlier. In high school I went to bed at 8pm, just so I’d get enough sleep. I can usually function too, I just hate getting up that early.

I’m definitely a night owl. Most days I’m doing good if I’m up, showered and dressed by noon. I’m sure some of it has to do with working all night sometimes, but it’s easier for me to stay up then get up.

I’m a night person too. I have always hated getting up early but love the daytime.

With my meds I sleep like an angel. a drooling angel, but I sleep. With no meds I am a raging manic who suffers from insomnia it sucks. Anytime you need to vent feel free to email.
