Are you a morning person

Fr Jessup

I'm not, I'm a serial snooze buttoner, I have to do everything the night before (shower, make my lunch, get work clothes ready), I literally hop out of bed, get dressed, have a piss and I'm out the door. All in the space of about 3 minutes.

I barely speak to anyone in work before 10 as I'm still half asleep.

So do you dread getting out of bed early or are you like a zombie.

Early mornings can fùck right off!!!

KKkitty

Never liked mornings at all. I'd stay in bed all day if I could.

It wasn't me!

If I'm rushed in the morning, I'm a truly awful human being. If, on the other hand, I have time to get up, put coffee on, have a shower, dress, eat breakfast and drink my coffee at a handy pace, I'm invincible for the whole damn day.

Yes I am a morning person, very much so

Mine is the 1st vote for I Heart mornings

PizzamanIRL

Yes, this type of morning hour.

Miss Lockhart

I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder so I'm never fully rested in the morning. That said, I manage ok with getting up and I'm not grumpy and I never sleep it out. But if there's any way I can avoid scheduling before afternoon I will.

Being up super early is brilliant. You have the whole world to yourself and plenty of time to do your thing.
Strangely, I'm more likely to be up and about early during winter than summer. In summer I tend to stay up late and sleep later. In winter I'm in bed early and up early.

Nah, not a morning person myself. But funny you should make this thread!


Was just randomly thinking the other day about staying up late and it just popped into my head about what did people do when they stayed up late in the late 80s to mid 90s :pac:

Tv channels switched off at something like 12.30am. No internet. Video games werent as content heavy as today. Ok being drunk is an obvious :P But today I can stay up till 5am keeping myself entertained. Spoiled by technology I guess.

I'm a insomniac type unfortunately.
I generally hate mornings!

Not at all. But I will admit that when you get to bed nice and early (10pm or before) and are up earlier, say 6am or 7am, it feels absolutely great once you get over the initial pain of getting out of the bed (worst feeling known to man kind).

Well, I have always stayed up late - from the time I was born. Apparantly as a baby/toddler I talked all night. Then aged 3-5 I played with my tea set and talked all night. Then from 5 onwards I alternated between reading and talking all night. I drove my parents nuts.

Wait, wait, wait. THERE ARE TWO 7 O'CLOCKS?!

In all seriousness, everyone in the world hates the morning. Why don't we all just do away with this ****e and start our days in the afternoon.

I think I have that too. How did you get diagnosed and what helps you get to sleep during the working week?

I suspect that most people up after 1am aren't morning people

Not true, old people seem to love early mornings, my elderly neighbour gets up at 6am every single day, I sometimes hear her if I'm on holidays and still up. My Granny was the very same.

I was diagnosed as a child because I literally never slept. I didn't refuse to go to bed or cry all night or anything - I just lay there talking and not sleeping. They didn't do much until I was an older teenager, around 17. I was referred to a sleep clinic. They did lots of tests and checks and confirmed diagnosis. They just went through "sleep hygiene" practices and offered sleeping tablets. They were pretty useless tbh.

I just get on with it - don't think there's much more I can do. I sleep from about 4.30 to 7.30. I then sleep after work from about 5.30 - 8.30. At the weekend I compensate and sleep all day. I cope ok as I'm just used to it. It's been like this since the day I was born.

I like mornings but I don't fcuking 'heart' them as I'm not a 12 year old girl on facebook.

I never fall asleep until 2am no matter happens, even if I get up at 6am and go to bed at 10pm everyday for a month i'll still have to wait til 2 to actually fall asleep. No point fighting really, I never start work until 10 and work until 6 or 7

Sappa

Nothing better than getting up at 5:15 taking the first hour and a half to get some exercise in a bit of meditation and read the morning papers online before you set off.
Plenty if time for s decent breakfast and your not rushed out the door.
It's when your off for a few days that you slack up on the routine and then it's a battle to get back into it again but once you are it's all good.

Try Dr Bachs rescue remedy sleep aid,way better than sleeping tablets and actually works without groggy after effects.

Pretty much. The OP should have said "Anyone who responds to this thread before around 6 AM, is not a morning person".


Or is on the other side of the world.

Thanks, but I've tried everything in the book. It's a recognised circadian rhythm disorder - rescue remedy isn't going to fix it.

I don't use the sleeping tablets - they're a short term solution to a lifelong problem.

The main recommendation for DSPD is to adapt your life - work nights etc and sleep when your body wants to.

I'm definitely not a morning person, I hate them. If I wake at 8am of my own accord, that's fine. If my alarm wakes me, I'm automatically in a shítty mood for at least an hour. I just don't function well before lunchtime.

In secondary school I used to put my head in my two hands and look down at my book, pretending to be in deep concentration while I napped for for the first 3 classes of the day

Definitely a night owl myself, I can't even understand why they have TV news on at 1pm, ffs It's only 1 o'clock in the day, what possibly could have happened!

Yeah....me to......

I think alot of us boardsies at this time of night have this problem.

I am certainly not a morning person. Seldom is a time when I get up out of bed before 11am. I work in the hospitality industry so this suits me down to the ground.

My favourite time of the day (night) is after work in the early hours. Nothing beats an ice cold beer in total silence (except for the sound of myself typing) with the missus in bed.

Beer anyone?

Evie87

The alarm ringing just starts the thought process...what excuse can I possibly use not to go to work today...ten mins later you come to the same heart wrenching conclusion that you're going to have to get up. It's the most horrible feeling there is I think and it happens five days a week...that's a lot of suffering.

Where To

I appreciate every single minute of every single day.

dave3004

I am not a morning person at all.....BUT.....

I changed my alarm a few days ago and I think it has lifted my spirits in the early am.

I used to have a normal alarm on my phone to wake me but now have something called "Springtime Memories" tone.

It wakes you to a cacophony of light piano and magical mothernature sounds.

Dont knock it till you try it !

mrsdewinter

Not a morning person at all. I can just about handle hauling my a$$ to the shower, groggily making breakfast, throwing some clothes on... If I have to speak to anybody or make critical decisions before 8am, it quickly puts me into a bad mood.

meoklmrk91

If I wake up myself no problem, that rarely happens though, and I am a miserable bastard. I had to give up using songs as my alarm tone because I priced that if i heard them in a non alarm capacity I.e. on the radio I would immediately get this feeling of rage.

candy-gal1

Yep, very early morning person like 2am or so, but then I gotta get some sleep

marshbaboon

NEIN!

I have serious trouble with my sleep patterns. I thought I was lying in bed for 20 minutes awake there, turns out it was 5 hours. To top it off on the nights when I can actually get to sleep, sometimes I can't wake up. Regardless of what I have to do, or how many alarms I set I physically can't get out of bed.

It's not so bad when I get into a routine with work, but right now it's shocking.

Y!
I live it when I wake slowly & early & can then lie basking in the warm with nothing to do & loll in bed for another few hours; BEST part if the day. Waking at 0530 thou & going to sleep at 1amor 2 can sometimes leave me short thou :0every couple of weekends I sleep til afternoon & that's great too!!!

I can sprint out if the house & bed in 3 minutes if I'm late & I never air to have breakfast on weekdays as this just chills me out too much & I run late; but at weekends if I'm not diing somethings I live going out for a long relaxed breakfast somewhere nice ... Best part of the day.

I HATE rushour traffic thou : grrrrrrrrrrrrraH

BOF666

I generally set the alarm for an hour before I have to leave the house, hit snooze till about 5 minutes before I need to leave, get dressed, go the jacks and leave. Always say to myself I'll get up on time one of these days but it never happens... Luckily the job doesn't mind me being late!
