    This time of night is best for me, I'm a night owl, can't stand mornings. What about the rest of you? I'm expecting some sort of joke about ''morning wood'' as it is after hours but we'll see....

    Been working irregular shifts all my life, 4am or 4pm, they make no difference to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭guitarzero


    I try skip them as much as possible. Bring on the night I say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    yes that u=is why i am awake at 2:52
    hate being cheerful


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭SMJSF


    I could be awake all night no problem, but the morning... no.
    I must not have any human interaction or contact for at least 2 hours after waking up. or you'll learn why. :P

    Anyone up at this time is most likely not a morning person :)

    I myself am as much a night person as it gets. Can't sleep now, can't get up in the morning. Always been like that.

    I know, turning off the tablet would be a start. But as you probably know, it doesn't really help, does it :)

    I'm not a morning person at all. In fact do not talk to me before 12 midday. Much more constructive in the evening. I would love to be a morning person though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Morning people are fucking nightmares. Talking to people before 11am (at the absolute earliest) just shouldn't be allowed.
    And smiling. Who's smiling at 9am for fúck sake?

    Morning people can't be trusted.

    Posting at 3:27AM so def not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭DaveDaRave


    If you asked me that question in the morning id probably punch you in the face


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭ardle1


    Morning's are crap, suffered them long enough, I don't think humans should even have alarm clocks(the bastardin things).. I work nights now(taxi)and it's great, I still get my 7,8 or 9hrs sleep, and usually just wake up 'naturally'.
    So no I'm not a morning person... Thank God.

    I'm a very early morning person.

    I'm up now and I'm a morning person :-) The joy of shift work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    I'm in work for the last hour. Kill me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,301 ✭✭✭gordongekko


    Nope


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I don't hate the morning but I much prefer staying up late to getting up early.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,114 ✭✭✭ivytwine


    I didn't think I was a morning person til I did night shifts.

    Man it's cruel. Humans are not meant to stay up all night. I also really, really, missed the daytime.

    Back on days now so will be moderately cranky again as opposed to the spawn of Satan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,753 ✭✭✭✭Timberrrrrrrr


    Just been out for a run with the dog, do i qualify?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 nearyj


    I'm a morning person if, and only if, I get at least 7 hours sleep.
    It's taken me a while but iv gotten into the habit of reading a book which usually has me asleep within 30mins.

    Definitely a morning person. Find it hard to sleep past 7am even on weekends. Cant work out how anyone exercises in the evening either, has to be either morning or lunch time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Rory28


    I contemplate leaving my job everyday because I hate seeing 7am.

    You would hate me then. My the time the girlfriends have pulled themselves out of bed looking for the breakfast I have made them - I have been up - tended the veggie garden, chickens and whatnot a bit - gone for an hour run with the hound - am showered and prepped - and ready to head out the door to work.

    I've no problem getting up early and hitting the gym before work etc but don't try to talk to me and don't expect me to be pleasant!

    Tried for many years to be a morning person and a night person; wasn't enough hours in the day. Much prefer the mornings now. Love the freshness of the morning and it's when I feel most energised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,517 ✭✭✭Sunny Dayz


    I'm in work with 3.5 hours of sleep after the young fella being up sick until 5am.


    I am not a morning person, do not go anywhere near me today........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,195 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    Ooh yeah. 07:30 every morning, except Sunday when I doss half the day away in bed until about nine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭Green Giant


    Usually in bed by 11pm and up at 8am (9am on weekends).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    I'm an evening person for exercise and more of a morning person than a night person. It used to be the other way around. Don't expect me to be cheerful before coffee or until I've had some breakfast, ah Hell, don't expect me to be cheerful any time.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 171 ✭✭donegaldude


    in bed usually at 11, up at 6.30 everyday. Sleep in until maybe 7.30 on a weekend. Love the early mornings, my wife however does not share my enthusiasm!

    Plural? You running between houses trying to keep them all sweet? No wonder you need to be up early!

    Love the mornings, always have, something very peaceful about it especially at the weekend.

    I'm not a morning person. I'm up at eight most mornings but I tend to be in a semi coma until about eleven.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,086 ✭✭✭TheBeardedLady


    Morning wood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,458 ✭✭✭chops018


    Does anyone else feel like they're missing something if they hit the hay about 10.30 or 11? Like a bit anxious and they can't sleep. I'm like that if I don't stay up till 12 or 12.30 am.

    If I'm working I'm usually in the bed about ten, but I fiddle around on FB, netflix and the like till about 12. Then when I have to be up for work I snooze the alarm around 3-4 times until I literally have to get up. Then it's a rush to get out the door in the next 15 mins.

    I really don't like this and I really must try get up an hour before I have to leave the house. It would give me a chance to relax for a few mins. I was thinking of snoozing the alarm once and straight up then. I heard it's not good to keep snoozing the alarm and you end up feeling more tired for the day then.

    My friend says he goes to bed around 12 am and gets up at 6.30. He is home around 6.30 and goes for a 20 min nap after work and then he's grand till 12-12.30 am, or so he says. I couldn't imagine doing that would be good. I like to get 7 hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 500 ✭✭✭indigo twist


    I wake at 5.59 every morning. My alarm goes off at 6.00. I usually get up straight away, hang up laundry, put away laundry, put on a wash, make baby's bottles, tidy up a bit, arse around on the internet etc, until it's time to go to work.

    I do go to bed pretty early most nights though ... but often get up and go for a wander around 2 or 3 am. Occasionally I'll make the following day's dinner or have a shower or study for exams at that time.

    Yeah my body clock is messed up! :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭failinis


    I can literally wake up and be out of bed with in minutes and be a functional human - but I dislike it, I have always been a bad sleeper and wake up early.

    I think I work best 8pm-2am so I am a night person who can wake up early.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I am very much a morning person. I get up at 5am, go for my exercise, come in and have a cup of tea and a cigarette for half 6, and I'm good to go for the rest of the day. Well, till about 6 in the evening, at which point I become tired and cranky.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,704 ✭✭✭Doylers


    Im a morning person, up by 8:30 usually on the weekend, I cant lye in bed or go back to sleep I just have to get up shower and get going dunno why


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭Highflyer13


    Morning people are weird. I don't come alive until around 10am after i've had a strong coffee. Its an unwritten rule between a few of my mates not to talk to each other at the train station in the morning. Nothing worse than some chirpy fecker burning the ear off you at 6.30am in the morning!

    In fairness I'd love to be able to do stuff like exercise and even eat breakfast before 6.30 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭boobar


    I used to dread the alarm in the morning, but as I get older I find mornings less of a chore.

    Even enjoy getting up earlyish at the weekend now, so as not to waste the day.

    Oh no....I've just morphed into my auld fella.
