At what time to you really 'wake up'?

CrazyRabbit

I'm a night owl...always have been. I struggle to stay awake before noon, and am full of energy around midnight. Even now, I'm yawning every 2 minutes.

I used to love working the night shift as it suited my natural sleep cycle, but it did cause lots of problems with social life, so that had to stop.

What about you AH...when do you feel most awake and most tired? Are you a night owl like me?

I'll never feel sleepy as long as caffeine exists!



Or make sense.

Mr Benevolent

My natural cycle is to go to bed at 12 and get up at 7.30.

That's the theory anyway.

I don't wake up.
I'm tired all day every day.
I guess late evening is when I feel most awake, but I'd still be very tired.

Are internet yawns contagious ?

I wake up around 10ish, I've tried to get up earlier but when ya have nowt to do its pretty difficult. When working and in a routine I used to wake without an alarm fresh as a button at 6.30 on most mornings.

go to bed around 12 or 1ish there for a long time, get up at 7ish

Go to bed between 11pm-midnight usually.

Always awake and up by 8am, usually earlier in the summer. That includes weekends. I find it very difficult to "sleep in".

I reckon 360 days of the year, I'm up and about before my OH. The other few days he might have an early flight to catch or something.

Fraid not!
Caffeine doesn't help me at all!
I have add so ritalin makes me feel relaxed, and coffee etc... does the same.
Thanks though.

I'm a good morning person, wake up just before 7AM each day - never have any problems getting out of the bed either

Depends. For work I have to be up at 8-ish, and Ill go to bed about 12 or 1. I might not be fully aware until about 9 though. I'm sitting down at my desk most of the day then as well, so I never really feel all that energetic during the day until I get home. In the evenings I'll go out and play a bit of football or something and that will make me feel more awake.
On the weekends I'll still be half asleep until about 1 before I get going.

I'm a terrible morning person, I really struggle to get up before 9 even if I was in bed before 12. I set my alarm for around 8 most mornings and in the hope of dragging myself out of bed around 8:30 if I can,. I have to set the alarm at 3 different times too as one or even two alarms I can turn off in my sleep.

I would like to be able to have a sleep cycle something like 2am to 11am. I also have no problem lying in bed awake for hours even, I could wake on a saturday morning at 10am and still happily be in bed at 1pm with a mixture of falling back to sleep, listening to the radio and the internet.

I couldn't imagine having to get up at 6 or 7am regularly its absolute hell the odd time I have to do it. Luckily I can start work anytime I want (within reason) so rather working later in the evening than being in early. I do aim to be in between 9 and 10 though otherwise I would have to work very late.

Usually bedtime between 11pm - Midnight and wake up for 7:30

I'm a complete and utter night owl. There's been a few times where I've completely reversed my sleeping pattern to being awake during the night and sleeping during the day.

Like yourself OP I become my post productive around 10 pm. Even though I get up around 8 o clock and go to bed at 12. I'm trying to create a normal sleeping patter but I still find myself awake around 2 o clock in the morning thinking if stuff I should be doing.

Discostuy

Up at 6.30am Mon to Fri

Now I'm retired.

I was tired yesterday and I'm tired again today.

blodvyn

Night-owl here, like the op. Its as if as soon as dusk comes, I'm given a new burst of energy, and just don't want to go back to bed.
Hopefully, when the winter comes, I'll start going to bed earlier as the shorter days will hopefully trick my body into thinking its alot later than it actually is :P

LostGirly

Up every morning around 6.30am, work until 5.30pm! Usually really "wake up" around 5.29pm!!

funloving

got out of bed at 7.30 am but I didn't wake up completely as yet :eek:

starlit

I wake from my slumber from 10am onwards maybe 11am/12pm the usual. It takes me a full hour to fully wake up though even after getting up.
