I am very much a morning person, even on weekends. And not one of those "get up early and relax around with a cup of coffee" morning people. I bounce out of bed, wide awake, and am up and ready for anything. I'm either out the door or puttering around the house within 15 minutes of waking up. On weekends, I've usually visited the Farmer's Market and two grocery stores by 8:30 a.m.

It gets annoying sometimes. I can be out until 2 a.m., yet still bounce out of bed by 7 a.m. My body just refuses to sleep in.

Any other morning people on here?

Not me! It is all I can do to get out of bed and get to my sister's on time for babysitting!

Nope.

I get up, and am tired until late afternoon regardless of how much cups of coffee. Then once it's 6/8 pm I am wide awake and ready to go. Doesn't matter how much I sleep, when I went to sleep, how long I stay in bed, etc. I never have as much energy as I do at night.

Ugh. I'm not naturally a morning person, but have come to function that way. What makes it worse is I CANNOT go to sleep if there is daylight. It doesn't matter if I'm in a completely dark room. My body knows the sun is up and that's the end of it. I'd never survive working nights.

Let me sleep in, and I'll work for you all night. Well, until 5 anyway, then it's Miller time.

I'm naturally an early bird, I get up early EVERY day.. But I need peace and quiet for at least 30 mins after waking up, Florent is one of those people who bounces out of bed raring for action and has music blaring from the moment his eyes are open.. Sometimes I just can't cope and am forced to hide! LOL!

Hence the reason I like to get up about an hour before he does! ;)

Pre 30's NO....post 30's yes. When you have kids you get into the habit of early waking. I cannot even sleep in on weekend because my internal clock is saying UP at around 7-8am. Oh well! That's what NAPS are for!

I'm a morning person and usually ready to go from the time I get up, sometimes will run 4 miles at 6am, but I do enjoy that relaxing time between 6am to 7am with a coffee reading the sites. It's comforting!

I've never been able to sleep in, I can count the times on one hand that I slept till 9am my entire life. And it doesn't matter what time I go to bed at night, whether it's 11pm or 3am in the morning....I'll be up at around 6am.

My dogs aren't even morning people. Keeda let's out this angry groanish type noise if I turn the alarm off within 2 seconds. Then she rolls over and gives me the "what the heck is wrong with you, disturbing my beauty sleep" snort. It's actually REALLY funny.

I'm up every morning at 6:30 and no later than 8 on weekends. While I'd rather sleep in, there's no going back to sleep once I open my eyes, so it never works. Pit on the other hand can sleep until noon if I let him.

NOOOOOOOO.. not me :) I'm the opposite of morning person!

Throughout my college years, I planned my schedule very careful to avoid any early classes. I remember one semester when I had no choice but to take an 8:00 a.m. class, I could only manage to come on time twice, one for midterm, and the other was for final :eek: lol. The rest of the class I was either late or no show!

Even now after working fulltime for more than 12 years, if my husband (a.k.a. my alarm clock) doesn't wake me up in the morning, I'd be late for work!

On weekends, if left undisturbed, I usually sleep until 10:30 a.m. or later :), and everyday even when my eyes are already open, my mind still needs a couple more minutes to be fully functioning!

I used to despise mornings. I still don't like them so much, but I usually can't sleep past 8. *grumbles*

I do not know how yall do it.

I HATE getting up before 9am, and 85% of the time I don't get up til after 9am.
I LOVE sleeping, and I show it.
If you ever wake me up before 9am and didn't tell me the night before, you are in deep dodo.
