Tell Me: Do you add a little A or P to that M?



Are you a morning person or night person?

I would classify myself as a night person. I enjoy putting the kids to bed, sticking in a movie and having time to do my own things. However I discovered recently, my husband would much rather run errands in the afternoon (any time after lunch), while I prefer to run errands in the morning (right after breakfast and be home by lunch). While I don't enjoy getting up really early in the morning, I do enjoy getting a lot of things done first thing in the morning.

I am a night owl! If I had my way, I would work the grave shift! I tend to be my most productive..regardless..AFTER lunch and just get better as it gets later!

Most definitely a night person. I hate getting up early!

I'm definitely a night person & I tend to run my errands in the afternoon but I LOVE the feeling of getting them done in the morning. I need to do better about just getting up, getting ready, & doing all that stuff earlier.

I'm with you---I like staying up late to unwind, watch a movie, relax etc. But I'd prefer to get things finished in the morning.

I'm a night owl. However, lately, I've been neither. I want to go to bed early, but I still don't want to get up early.

I have no rhyme or reason as to when I like to get things done. If I'm in the mood, then I do it and work extremely hard and love it. If I'm not in the mood, then it's hard for me to get going, but once I do, I love it. So, I just do it whenever it needs to be done, hoping that I'm in the mood to do it. ;)

I'm just like you. I prefer to be productive in the morning, but I love to unwind after the kids are in bed.

I am definitely a night person, but I also like to do errands in the morning, so it doesn't interfere with the kids nap schedule.

I'm like you, I prefer to get errands done and out of the way in the morning. That being said, I don't really like staying up late or waking up early. I'm a day kind of person, I guess!

Victoria said...

Right there with ya. Get the errands done first thing. And by first thing, I mean about 9:00 a.m., since I really love to sleep until about 8:00. Then spend the day rather lazily. Then catch the second wind along about 10 p.m. and power through some music or something until about midnight.

I like to get things done in the am but dont like to get up early. I seem to get more energy around 2pm for some reason and sustain it until late night.

If I could go to bed at midnight and wake up at 9 am, I would be a happy camper. But you can guess how often that happens. :)

Melanie said...

If I could choose, I would stay up late and wake up about 9ish. But I seem to always be up by at least 6am so if I make it past 10pm it's by mistake. :)

I start feeling tired around 9:00 every night. I feel bad when I HAVE to go to bed at 10:30, and my husband stays up until midnight. Every night. I wish I was more of a night owl!

Night night night. I start getting a little energy at night, which is horrible because it's usually time to sleep. I hate waking up in the mornings especially since Mr. Black Sneakers is a morning person...grrr...
