Night Owl or Early Bird? How Important is Sleep to You?

[bluechocolate]

Me - I'm a night owl. Always have been. As a kid I used to sit under the covers with a flashlight reading books into the wee hours. When I did a year of art college after high school I discovered that my best work was done between the hours of 3am & dawn.

 

It's rare if I go to bed before 2am & I operate fine on 6 hours of sleep. I've never been able to sleep in or lie in bed dozing.

 

Personally I think sleep is a waste of time.

I am a night owl because that is when i get my me time and everyone is sleeping and it is quiet!! I love to get on LS late without any interruptions..

I am a night owl too. I love the night life and everything about it. When it comes time to wake up in the morning, i am singing a different tune. I love to sleep, but I never get enough, too much going on.

Early bird. Always have been, always will be. Some days I like to burn the candle at both ends. I think I'm just not a middle of the day person.

I'm a bit of a night owl myself. I enjoy staying up and reading. It helps me relax and rest better. I also get up at 6 am every morning, well during the week since my kids have to be at school. I will usually sleep in some on the weekends.

Dirty early bird.

 

I get up in the morning and pass out before midnight, guaranteed, even if I want to stay up. And I am a grouch in the morning if I don't sleep at least 8 hours. I love sleep. My second favorite thing to do.

and a total night owl when i'm not working.

I'm definitely a night owl. I am always up until at least 1. Lately I have been up til about 3:30. That has really been draining me, but I can't seem to break the cycle. Anyone else ever get in those cycles?

I had horrendous insomnia when I was on birth control pills. Now I am off them, and I sleep great again.

Night owl here and I resent having to work 9-5. It forces me to try to sleep early, but I end up laying there in the dark for hours. My brain won't shut down until after midnight at least. I tend to walk around during the day on very little sleep. I'll go home, think I'm going to pass out by 10:00 and I still lay awake in bed. I dunno.

I've been in one for 2 weeks now, which is what prompted this thread.

 

Seeing as I usually go to be around 2am it's not a big problem. As long as I hit the sack before the sun comes up I'm OK with it.

bluechocolate, I'm a clone of you, I think. I wouldn't go to sleep before 10 PM even when I was a baby. I have to get up early for work and I hate it. Thank God for naps

[manders_01]

I'm a total night owl - mornings,

 

But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sleep! I'm definitely not one who feels guilty about sleeping in on a beautiful day.

[pippen_2k]

I gotta be up most mornings around 5am - 5.30am, so I TRY real hard to avoid drinking coffee them nights.

 

Try to be in bed around 10pm.... 7 hours sleep a night is perfect for me.

I'm a night owl as far as staying up late - love to read, surf the net and watch tv, but in return I end up missing out on my favorite time of the day which is between 5-7am. If I can get myself to bed early I love the start of the new day in those very early hours with a pot of coffee and the calm before the storm feeling! After 7 it's like "I have to do this, get that done...

My sleep deprivation will only become worse when i have little Riddler's of my own. Oh well, got to minimize the night life at some point.

I am a night owl and love to sleep. If I could I would sleep till 10:30 everyday. But no I have to get up by 7am

I'm usually a nightowl becuase I work late and my boyfriend gets off of work late. So, my bed time is anywhere from 12 a.m to 4a.m.
