Are you a morning person?

I'm ALWAYS more tired when I get up in the mornings than I am when I go to bed at night. I get up every morning for work at 7:30-8:00, and still, if I don't set an alarm I'll sleep till about 10:00. Doesn't matter when I go to bed. It's kinda annoying, especially when I stay at a hotel or something, I'm terribly paranoid about not waking up when I need to. I even set my alarm so that I'll get up around 8 or 9 on the weekends, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night and then Monday mornings are REALLY bad.
When I taught training classes (which were held at night), I'd work about noon to 9:00 every day, which was a schedule I LOVED as far as sleeping. I never had to set an alarm, and always got up on time! But I didn't like working so late cause I could never do anything after work. Now I work a normal schedule (9-5 ish), and even though it's harder to get up in the mornings, I do like it a lot better.

It really depends on the situation. There are mornings when I can get up with the sunrise and just sit with a cup of coffee/hot chocolate on the deck for hours. Dog shows I have little problem getting up for and those are EARLY! Given the choice though, I'd rather sleep until the sun is high in the sky.
I used to be a night person, but I've adapted to getting up in the mornings . . . just need my coffee. Even on the weekends, I usually wake up "in time for work" although I don't go in to the office on weekends (though I often work). Besides, if I tried to sleep in, the furry alarm clock would tell me she had to pee in more and more urgent ways . . .
I am so NOT a morning person. I do everything at night. I shop at night, I it clean at night. I work at night..the only time I can force myself to get up early is if its to go to the river lol. Then its easy for my to get up. When I was getting my CNA license I had to get up early for class every day for 3 months, and I actually did enjoy it, I got a lot done, even after I was tired from school/clinical. But I always end up getting back onto a night schedule very shortly.
My internal clock is set to night, hate getting up, love to sleep in the mornings. But having said that, I have spent most of my life getting up early. Hell by 9 am I could have all the critters fed, 2 or more horses trained and some stalls mucked (how many depended on whether I had groomers or not). Plus get the kid up and off to school, but that usually put my time line back 1 1/2 hrs.
My body wants to take a nap in the afternoon, but if I don't get it, no worries.....by 6 pm I am in full wake mode again which causes a problem because I can stay up to at least midnight or longer.
:rofl1: I can remember the days were I started riding at 6 am, rode 16 to 22 a day and if needed then stay up all night foaling mares. All I needed was a couple of hours of sleep in the evening and I was good to go....I expect that would kill me now :rofl1: Actually I KNOW it would!!
Coffee, got to have coffee, love it. And no obstacle is big enough to keep me away from it, especially in the morning.

I have to be in work by 8:45am every morning, so I force myself to be a morning person. I'm horrible about getting out of bed, though... I usually drag myself out of bed and relax on the couch with a cup of coffee before I even start getting ready for work.
On the weekends I'll sleep in somewhere between 8-9am.
