I might be more of a morning person if I could easily fall asleep too

Yeah, doesn't help me--I fall asleep easy, but mornings are still a bear. I feel like it takes me an hour or more to *actually* wake up. These days I tend to spend half an hour lying in bed reading the internet before actually moving, it sorta helps.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What do you call a person who, daily life permitting, would get up around 7:30 or 8? That's not a morning person, but it's not a dedicated sleeper-inner either. Anyway, that's me.

Oh yeah, that's a morning person. That's four to four and half hours to noon.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Oh yeah, that's a morning person

That's what I was thinking! I don't have to get up until 7:45 and I hate it like burning. (As in, that's WAY the fuck too early for me.)

I think it's not so much about time as inclination/awakeness. I mean, if you work until 2AM and pop up out of bed at 10AM, I'd still call you a morning person...

Though admittedly, I think I am not so much a night person as a late afternoon/early evening person! That's when I have the most energy for working out, when I'm most cheerful, when I can focus best and get shit done (I used to work 9:30-7 or so, and always got the most done from 4-7)

So, okay, I may be a morning person by some measures.

I think it's not so much about time as inclination/awakeness.

But less so by others.

I'm a easier to wake up when the sun comes up than when it's overcast or pitch dark in the morning type person.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I get up between 7 and 8 most days. Mostly because DH gets up that early and partly because it takes that long to become fully coherent. I used to b e a major night owl but with this marathon walking prep - I just need sleep

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm diurnal. I typically wake up at dawn, but I am rarely chipper about it. On really overcast days I never quite wake up all the way. And yet, there was a time when I was quite a night owl.
