AM or PM?

Are you a morning person or a night owl? If you are old(er)has that changed as you have become more venerable?

Always a night person. In fact so much so, almost everyone eventually makes a "vampire" comment.

Morning. This has always annoyed the wives.

I get my best work done in the morning, and then again in the evening. In the middle of the day, I'm not good for anything very useful (define useful).

Night owl...becoming a bit less so as the years march by. I used to go until 3-4am and haul my butt out of bed by 7 without too many problems.

Nowadays my precious few hours of sleep are repeatedly interrupted by kids that wake up for random reasons and a wife that snores....loudly. So I'm pretty much done by 1-2am.

~2pm is the absolute worst for me...I can barely keep my eyes open at that time of day and have been known to fall asleep while actually speaking.

Still a night owl. When I was in college I used to start studying at 10pm. My brain is still wired that way, except now I have an 11 year old who has to be up for school. Uninterupted, I'd probably go to bed between 2-3 a.m.

My current pattern is to get 6-7 hours of sleep for 3-4 nights in a row, then go to bed at 10pm to catch up. I envy those who can sleep 6 hours every night and still function well. My brain doesn't work well when I'm sleep deprived.

Morning. That worked well for me when I was working for the dairy.

I learned very early in my marriage NOT to whistle when I got up. These days I sing or hum quietly to myself. OK, sometimes not so quietly.

Morning person. Sleeping until 6:00 am is "sleeping in" to me. I'm worthless after about 9:00 at night though. I've been this way all my life.

Used to be a morning person. Now that I'm more "venerable" I don't wake early or quickly.

I'm not sure, but after 8 p.m. I'm worthless.
