Hello, what time of day do you get up at night? I get up about 6:50am at the moment to get ready for college. I do like early mornings and seeing the country and the surrounding areas wake up and the day getting going, what does everyone else like. I think if i ever went on holiday i would get up early and start feeling the atmosphere of the morning and i would not be wasting the day in bed

I hate mornings. I really hate mornings. I'm awake, but i'm not quite awake. I stay up late most nights. Not because I really want to, but because I can't get to sleep easily. Even when I do sleep for a reasonable number of hours, I never feel like I have. Perhaps I would like my mornings more if I actually slept properly, but that never seems to happen.

I am a complete night person. I wish I wasn't though -- morning people get along better in the world.

I hate mornings, I am nocturnal.

It's hard to tell because I can't remember the last time I wasn't exhausted. I think I'm a morning person, because although it's hard to get up, once I'm out there really early I love it. So few people, and so much wildlife about.

I get up at 6:20 weekdays and bed at around midnight. On Saturdays, up at 8:20 and in bed sometime between 1am and 3am then up at around 9am on the Sunday morning.

So, I guess I'm a morning person who likes to stay up a little late. I need about six hours sleep but can cope with less.

I absolutely love the feeling and atmosphere of early mornings. I'm not sure how to describe it... it's almost like how you might experience a happy nostalgia? I think I probably feel particularly good because on the rare occasions I'm actually experiencing this is when I've managed to get myself up and out?
Either way, as long as nothing is making me anxious (an impending task) then I love this time of day. I just rarely get to see it as I tend to sleep most of the day and surf the web and watch TV the rest of the time unless I'm in a more productive mode :/

Hmm, I'm neither. I hate getting up in the mornings, particulaly for work. But I also hate going to bed too late at night.

I do like the morning atmosphere once I'm up, and spring and summer mornings are lovely. I don't like the dark.

Yeah, I think weather and climate play a part. When I wake up in the summer and the low sunrise is shining in, I actually quite like it. Gives me a warm fuzzy calm feeling. Winters are absolutely the worst through. Darkness and coldness = don't want to get out of bed.

It can go either way for me.

It all depends on my sleep schedule. Since I can get up early and can be just fine. But most of the time no matter how much sleep I get I have a hard time in the morning.

I'm a night person. I stay up really late and wake up really late. I have nothing going on. My life is really boring so my days are open to do whether. If I'm not doing anything then I'll just sleep and watch TV.
