Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I tend to wake early and feel ready for the day and I want to go to bed earlier than most other people. I read the paper online in the morning while I have a few cups of tea, then a coffee and then my porridge with the radio on. Breakfast is my fave meal of the day.

I tend to get up fairly early but stay in bed and do wordle and quordle whilst having a cuppa, fact is I can’t just jump out of bed bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning, I need to take my time. So am not really an early bird and never have been. I much prefer staying up late at night to read or watch something on Netflix.
So what do you prefer, early mornings or late nights?

Am same as you.
Need time to come round in the mornings, which is why being a shift worker suits me.I prefer later hours and differing shifts.

Definitely a lark!

Having t children ensured we got up early or they wouldn't have made it to school.

We still wake up at 5.30 and have two in bed until about 7.30. We watch Breakfast news, keep in touch with the family, do word games and chat.

We are often in bed by 9 and read for an hour or so.

I am more like a knackered pigeon at the moment, its been a loooong January and I am afraid the January blues have hit me this week.

Normally I am a lark .

I have to say that I also feel most able to sleep in the morning whereas I am rarely sleepy late at night.

Late nights and late mornings here. Everyone knows not to ring me before 9 a.m. My daughter is exactly like me, despite the fact she has to get up early for work. I worry about her . I never worked, except for a year or two after my divorce, and that was part time. So it was ok for me.

I’m an early bird, wake around 4.30…5ish, take a cup of tea back to bed , get up 6.45 ish then go for a run, that’s the start of my day, early to bed in the week, stay up later at a weekend.
