do you think being a morning person means you are more productive ... or are you generally more productive at night ... or do you force yourself do be both when the need arises ...

personally I've always been a morning person ... now if I don't get it done in the am ... it's just simply not gonna get done ...

Guess no one's up yet LOL

When the need arises I do work both ends.

lately I sleep both ends and get nothing done ... that's what teens will do to you - keep you up in the middle of the night with worry or a ruckus ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm a night person who keeps getting forced by the world to be awake early. First for school, now for work. Only time I ever felt good was in college when I had my first class around 11 am, could sleep from 2 am - 10 am or so. I could even stand to sleep from 3am - 12 pm, but you can't have everything.

Now, thanks to work, I've started randomly waking up at 8 am on weekends and then napping from 10-1.

Why can't this world acknowledge us night-owls?!?!

No one yet voted none, that would make someone a pretty lousy person to hang around with don't you think?!

I voted none. I cant wake up in the am and am exhausted by 8pm I used to be a night owl but I guess having a baby and having to work changes everything.

Im neither a morning nor a night person. My most productive hours are from 11 am to 3 pm. After that, I'm more-or-less toast. Or lazy.

I'm a night person by far. I get all my work done after 11pm and usually don't go to bed until 2 or 3am. but the sad thing is that I still have to get up at 6:30am for work every day so I'm really ruining my days by doing this. I end up sleeping 18 hours over shabbos and then starting the pattern over again on saturday night.

I voted none, I used to be the biggest night owl around, but now being pregnant and not sleeping well at night, by the time the evening comes I'm exhausted. if I could just nap during the day, maybe I'd stand a chance at night!!!!!!!!!

I always thought the early bird catches the worm ... but I guess the night owl just gets the tequilla ... Drunken Smile

I am more of a nght person but I force myself to be a morning person both as a mom and a student. I am definitely more productive at night, get things done, and get htem done more efficiently. But usually I wake up mega early, thats just how it works out with kids.....sometimes I miss those mornings like before school before kids, where I could sleep till 10 lol...stay up till 3am doing house stuff...oh well...

Wow are we on different time zones!!! Those (11:00-3:00) are my least productive hours!!!! Oh the nights, if only they wouldn't end!!!! Somehow, when the kids are all tucked in, I tend to be reborn. I've been known to paint the house, build closets, sew up garments, cook and bake up a storm---all in the great night hours!!!

I exercise in the evenings and that makes me zing around the house until eleven or midnight.

I'm an early bird by nature...but I'm working against my nature, because my job wants me to work nights (sometimes I go to bed with the kids and wake up at 3 am...that, weirdly, is quite comfortable for me).

The ideal schedule would be if I could go to sleep at 11 or 12 and wake at 5...but can't get to sleep that early (On nights I don't crash with my kids)

Does my schedule sound confusing? It's because it really isn't one...oh well..

I was one of those crazy college students who Loved 8:00 classes.

Now that I have a morning job out of the house, not nearly as many things get cleaned, cooked, tidied or organized as they did when I was home in the a.m.
