Great questions! For my 2 cents worth, I’m an early riser out of necessity, but still tend to stay up late…typically to bed by 11pm and up at 4:30am. I enjoy the quiet hours after the rest of the house is settled down. That’s when I do my beading!

Love everyone’s comments too…

I just can’t stay up like I used to… would stay up till 2/3 am on weekends when I was first in college, chatting w/ my mom and oldest sister. Even up to a few years ago a dear friend and I would stay up till about that time, 2/3 am or so talking and sharing…

recently I just learned from another friend who just had a checkup – her doc told her she is way low on vitamin D, the symptoms are feeling fatigued all the time, joint pains and insomnia… I told her hey maybe that’s me… she said her doc told her that this being low on vitamin D is very common in areas like the pacific northwest where we just don’t get enough sunshine!!! okay, I think I’m in between – like to get a morning start – 8 am ish or so… still trying to go to sleep at a “reasonable” hour… despite late nite chats about “Picks”!

I answered the survey as a night owl, but that’s not really true. I am actually both. I require very little sleep, so I tend to stay up pretty late (11-midnight most nights). My day job requires me to get up about 5:00 am. So truly, I am a night owl and an early riser. Sleep is so overrated.

Both. Depends where I am. Example while in Puerto Rico start feeling sleepy early due to the sweet lullying sound of the Coqui, the national symbol of Puerto rico. It is a teeny tiny frog and they will make you feel sleepy! But then there are the roosters, they have other ideas as in get up! Try staying in bed with a rooster right outside your window crowing for all it’s worth AND trying to out do the other 3 or 4 roosters doing the same! Not possible unless you wear earplugs! While in New York, no roosters, no frogs but no one goes to bed early! You stay up and next thing you know it is well past midnight! Oh well I adjust. In Florida (where I now am) I choose when to go to sleep, when to get up. Some days I stay up real late, other times in bed early and get up early! I rarely get to go to bed late and wake up late…..that’s what napping in mid day is all about and I love it!

I’m an early riser by necessity, but a night owl by preference. I do some of my best beading after 8 at night, and have to remind myself to quit and go to sleep.

Thanks for your comments so far everyone! It’s interesting to hear when the early risers go to bed. I guess the key to getting up early is going to bed early. Who would’ve guessed?

Early riser, definitely. I work full time but often get up really early to finish that necklace or bracelet to wear to work that day! I used to be a night owl as a kid, but slowly changed to a morning person and I love it. I get so much more done in the AM.

I’m fully retired, so is my husband, we can do whatever we like and at what time we like, It’s just as well we have 2 adorable dogs that live with us as they keep us to some kind of timetable. I very rarley go to bed before 1 am even sometimes 2 am. but am usually up by 8am, so I suppose I’m a night owl after all.
