Are you a Day person or Nocturnal

Post Reply New Topic

Not sure if this had been done before so I wanna ask and see what the majority of people on here are either morning birds or Night Owls

I'm a humanoid bat
Whenever the sun "lights up" my day without a request, or interrupting the comfort of the dim lit or dark, I hiss

Neither, I get up an hour later each day.

If I had my way I'd get up at 11am and go to bed after midnight.

But, as I work regular hours for a living I ususally get up at 6am and go to bed at 10pm. On weekends I sleep in a bit though (like 8 or 9am).

I prefer evening and night time, though if there is enough cloud cover during the day and its not too hot out I like it, though still not a morning person at all. All I want in the morning is my tea or coffee, a cigarette maybe some weed and to be left alone. lol

No body clock at all.

I sometimes feel as though my brain is in sleep mode, during the middle of the day.

I tried working nightshifts, and my mind seemed more awake during some hours, but not during others.

I have to tell myself when to go to bed. I get up, as though I am only taking a nap.

I'm interested in dreaming as the induction process is similar to putting myself to sleep.

Both, I like staying up late but I also like being awake in the morning.

Up till 2 or 3 AM. Sleep till 9AM.

Though with winter being here I sleep in later now.

Night owl

I'm all over the place, but at least I like mornings. I'm regularly up pretty late, but I'd hate to actually sleep during the sunlight hours.

Night owl all the way.

Let's see, it's 1:27 AM at the moment--definitely a night owl.

I switch off, I'll go for periods where I'm waking up at 6am for months and then I'll be struggling to wake up before noon. Right now, I'm night owl.

Extreme Nocturnal

I am both.

Nocturnal up to where I'm often barely functional during the day.

I do tend to have my own sleep/wake cycles and they don't really line up with 24 hours all the time. I do know that the times that I'm actually awake at night I get more stuff done than the times where I'm awake during the day and sleep at night. I just thrive more on the quiet and dark I suppose.

That, and I have a bad mood in mornings; I can't even deal with the overall business of people going to work. Oh, and don't bother me in mornings; I will hurl a pot of boiling hot coffee at you.

I kinda manage to trick my brain partially by having the shutters on the outside of the window closed pretty much when the sun is up, so I'm kinda keeping daylight out for most part. But then again; light sensitivity seems to be part of me, so I go with shades on during the day anyway. The shutters are a comfort thing as well; not gonna get a migraine in my own room on a daily basis.

In terms of being functional in society (since, yeah... most things don't operate at night) I try to plan everything in the late afternoons, and hope I'm on a somewhat regular day/night cycle and I got out of bed somewhere in the early afternoon. My brain is non-functional before noon most of the time (unless I'm still up).

The times I have actual appointments is way too much stress for me, since I have to jump through hoops to change my schedule and go against my nature. And obviously, it's still a mess when it involves some formal thing like a therapist visit or something of that nature. I mean; I'm there and expected to have a proper conversation, while all I feel like doing is sitting in a chair and drooling and laughing like an idiot...

But I've been like this since I was a kid already; school was a nightmare because of it, and my short stint when I had a job, I felt like a zombie and only have fragments of recollection of it given how much I was out of it (I might argue that my impaired functioning made me not have a job at my former employer anymore, lol). My earliest recollections of all of these issues with counselors (be it in private or in school) all ended up in them telling me "I can't see you do anything but a freelance job where you'll be able to plan your own hours".
