I absolutely hate mornings and would gladly start my day at midday, when I begin to feel sociable. My neighbour gets up at 6.30am and will insist on phoning me about 9.00am for a chat. She is full of life and has done all her chores by then and I am still in my dressing gown, on my fourth cuppa and needing peace and quiet. Fortunately, I have an afternoon/evening job!!
I don't believe it is possible to change our natural rhythms - I have always been like this. I just hate people calling me lazy, 'cos I'm far from it.
This is a genuine question, not chat. I was just wondering how many people are working against their natural biorhythms and therefore are having an uphill struggle. It took me many years to realise that working different hours would be beneficial, and not many people have the opportunity of doing it.
I am a morning person, I have to get up at 7am for my job which starts at 8.45am.
I get up at 10past have a wash etc, make packed lunches for me and my boyfriend, make/eat breakfast, finish getting ready and then go.
I like weekends coz I can lie in, but I rarely sleep past 10.30, like your neighbour I like to get things done and then I have the rest of the day to do what I please.
Always have been a morning person, so never really gone against my natural rythym.
Ask this question again in August, when I have a screaming baby to contend with!
Sounds good, Andy. I love the dark, quiet hours of the night and my brain functions better then as well! I always sleep really well during the day - if given half a chance!
Emma-J. Make the most of the coming months! My son has been a night person since day 1. He didn't scream at night, just thought it was the best time to play!!
I've always been a night time person. Had to buck up my ideas when my baby son arrived 2.5 years ago, and since he was bresat fed for 16 months, I became a morning, noon and night person! I now have to be a morning person, but we still stay up way too late at night, so that's part of the problem. I do relish a long lie at the weekend, tho 0930h is a long lie these days!!
I've always been a morning person....best time of the day by far.
In the summer, i start work at 6am and even at weekends i'm usually up and about by 5.30am. A good lay in for me is 7am.
But, i'm also usually sound asleep on the sofa by 8.30pm.....i'm useless if me and the wife ever go for a night out as we usually have to be home by 11 as we're so tired.

Definitely a night person. Mornings have always been a problem for me to the extent of being rather nauseated if I get up too early. My digesive system doesn't kick in until 11am, so breakfast is usually skipped.
Like kick3mon though, my 6 month old daughter has other ideas about lying in on a weekend!

What I hate is the disapproving looks I get from people who think I am bone idle if they call round and I am still in a state of early morning shock at 9.00-10.00. I literally can't function first thing in the morning, and my son is the same. I always felt like I was a dreadful mother because he went to school without breakfast as a youngster. He just couldn't face food or milk, so I used to pack him a nutritious snack for break time. You can't forcefeed a child who just can't manage to eat.
All his learning as a babe/young child seemed to happen in the evening, when he was always bright, alert and happy, and bedtime was late for him because if he went to bed early he just lay awake for hours and hours.
I really believe that we are all very different. Unfortunately, because of work, school, etc. we have to conform to sleeping patterns. It would be nice if, like animals, we could live more naturally and sleep when we are tired.
YooHoo Gessoo!
I don't do mornings as you very well know !! I always struggled to get to work;get children to school,and so on just like you.Now I am retired I don't have to get up so early ..so I don't ! My brother often turns up for morning coffee and I am still in my dressing gown at lunch time.He is always up at the crack of dawn and in Tescos by 6.30am.Madness!
I don't think our postman has ever seen me properly dressed !
I come out night with the full moon ! Don't tell Vinny !!
Don't pay any attention to disapproving looks and comments.Each to their own.
My sons are also like me..Mr:S is an early bird who whistles infuriatingly first thing ! Grrr!!

Hi Shaneystar,
MrG fortunately is also a late person. Our house is the one with the lights still on at 3.00am on a regular basis.
My neighbours are retired, but she still is up at the crack of dawn - but always in bed by 10.30pm.
O'Bonio is your daughter really 6 months old? It seems hardly a week or two ago that you announced her birth - Amy isn't it?
I'm an evening person, and especially in the winter, hate getting up while it's still cold and dark outside! Saying that though, some mornings if I'm up early (for me) at 7ish after the initial 10 minutes of feeling I just want to crawl back into bed forever, I'm surprisingly awake and alert. I think that might have something to do with either being in a deep or light sleep when the alarm goes off!
