Are you a morning person?

Sunny Dayz · 30-09-2014 10:11AM

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........

jimgoose · 30-09-2014 10:15AM

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

Green Giant · 30-09-2014 11:51AM

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

Pumpkinseeds · 30-09-2014 12:37PM

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

donegaldude · 30-09-2014 12:40PM

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!

You sound like the bizarro world version of me

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

john the one · 30-09-2014 12:45PM

I'm just awake, man I hate the mornings

One house thankfully.

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

MistyCheese · 30-09-2014 05:33PM

As Will Smith would say, 'Aw Hell no!'

Summer wind · 30-09-2014 07:07PM

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.

TheBeardedLady · 30-09-2014 07:44PM

Morning wood.

chops018 · 30-09-2014 07:59PM

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.

indigo twist · 30-09-2014 08:17PM

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!

failinis · 30-09-2014 08:20PM

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.

cloud493 · 30-09-2014 08:36PM

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.

Doylers · 30-09-2014 08:41PM

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

Highflyer13 · 30-09-2014 08:47PM

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

boobar · 30-09-2014 09:04PM

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.

begrandx · 30-09-2014 09:28PM

I can't stand mornings but for some reason I wake everyday without fail at 6.30 and can't go back to sleep

usually turn into a human by 11 after large dose of coffee

It is not actually that hard - and nothing "weird" about it. You simply have to make the transition slowly. If you are the kind of person who can not get up until 9am then suddenly trying to get up at 5 or 6 clearly is not going to work.

But getting up 1 minute earlier every day for a number of months is nearly effortless and you find yourself in the place you wanted to be.

I am a strong advocate of incremental change in things like this - exercise - study and other things people have issues with transitioning quickly on.

Thankfully I also do not have any reliance on coffee as from what I know of it - after some time you need a certain amount of it just to feel "normal" - or in other words just to feel how you would have felt if you had never had coffee ever.

Depends on the person
I drink it every day and it got to the stage where I was having 4-5 a day, so I stopped it entirely for a year, no side effects
I drink it again now, and I do like it

Some people get the withdrawal headaches and all though

Esterhase · 01-10-2014 09:11AM

I can be a nice person in the mornings if I've woken up naturally after a solid few hours of sleep i.e. at weekends. Then I can be out of bed at 7, have the house cleaned and run about with the dog followed by a nice breakfast before most people I know have even woken up.
But alas on workdays alarm clock + long drive to work = :mad:

I am not a morning person and I'm a bit like this. I find it difficult at getting up in the morning and it doesn't matter what time I get into bed at the night before. It could be an early night at around 11 or 11.30pm or later, it makes no difference to getting up in the morning. I'm a bit like you. By right I should be up and out of bed for 7.30am to allow myself time not to rush and I think that would set me up better for the day. Instead I drag my body out of bed at 7.55, 8, 8.05, or even as late as 8.10 am and then it's a huge rush to get ready for 8.15 but I'm usually late at leaving at 8.20. If I get a breakfast, I shovel it down and a cup of tea when I try to drink a cup, is usually spilled over my chin with one foot out the door.

Paramite Pie · 05-10-2014 09:04PM

I don't mind mornings. I also don't get how it affects someones mood? Some people are absolutely miserable in the morning. Just stop being a pratt and behave like normal.

The trick to a good nights sleep is no tv/internet/technology after 10pm. Sadly I can rarely abide by that and will probably be on this laptop til stupid o'clock watching youtube.

But I'll still be pleasant at 7am in the morning, tired or not.

Lapin · 05-10-2014 09:15PM

I'm an early riser but not a morning person.

Anyone who tries to engage in small talk is likely to be met with a grunt.

Any one who tries to be funny can expect to be told to fuck off.

Christ - I can't even listen to Gift Grub until after 2pm. :mad:

Mariasofia · 05-10-2014 09:18PM

I get up every single morning shower and go for breakfast singing zipeddeddoda....

*may not be true story bro.....

Diabhal Beag · 05-10-2014 10:13PM

I can pretend to be in good form in the mornings but I am never at full awake capacity till around 2pm if I have to get up at 6 in the morning.

Are you a morning person?
