WIN a Pebble Smartwatch and get set for Darkness Into Light!

rtyped

I'm usually reading until the wee hours, but lately I am also waking with the dawn! So both I guess.

Tabitharose

every alarm in the house is going to be set - and I'm still afraid I'm not going to wake up!!! this'll be my first DiL and I'm really looking forward to it

I used to work nights so staying awake is no problem. Once I am asleep though I need all the alarm clocks in the house to wake me back up.

Early bird.........

Early bird all the way, up with the lark, go for a walk, and at weekends sneak back into bed to catch up on my sleep. Morning air really clears the thinking!

Definitely early to bed. Id need to set all the alarms and depend on my 7 month old to wake at his usual 4:00AM  :)

I'm a bit of a night owl, but 4.30am is about when I feel like going to bed.

No alarm could wake me up that early! staying until then would be no problem though :-)

Night owl... It's not funny driving to work in the mornings!

I am definitely in the Early Bird category which is evident from this 7am post.

Alarm clocks haven't yet been designed that could possibly wake me mid sleeping cycle, Deffo have to stay awake.

Night owl for sure. I've been a night owl most of my life, especially thanks to a love for books. Through the years I began to use the night to get stuff done that got pushed back during the day due to "real life" getting in the way and then I got to college... I'm now studying Engineering. So yeah, the night owl life will be with me for a long time yet for sure. Gotta love being up, living and getting stuff done when the rest of the country's come to a halt.

I'm a complete night owl. I'd find life so much easier if it was acceptable to sleep until 3pm and stay awake until 7am!

I'm a night owl, for sure - totally useless before 0900.  I've had to get up at 0430 plenty of times before to get to the airport, but for some reason I still don't go to bed before my usual time of 2330... and then I wonder why I'm tired when I get to whereever I'm going!

Zcott

My job as a musician occasionally involves leaving far flung parts of the county late and driving home...so no chance I could be an early bird. Anyway, the early worm gets eaten.

I'm an early bird.
But in a strange way.
If I need to wake up early at a strange hour I'll set an alarm.
But then I'll wake up a minute or 2 before the alarm goes off no matter what the time.

“Early bird
Oh, if you’re a bird,be an early bird,
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you’re a bird, be an early bird,
But if you’re a worm sleep late.”
Shel Silverstein

Early bird, I'd say, but still useless before about 5am, wouldn't mind getting up at an earlier hour for this, if I was in the area, for abit of fun.. 

fionny

Im deffo a night owl... morning times are not my thing... I would probably stay up until 4.15am rather then get up! unless of course I had work the next day :P

Beckitt92

Defnitely a night owl, could stay up to all hours, whether it be for a grrrrreat cause like DIL or staying up til 7am at a sesh and finishing off the last of a few cans, both are good causes for staying up in my eyes.

But getting up early for work? literally set 12 alarms every morning,

So gewon give me the watch, my Michael Kors watch is starting to look a bit shabby (JK JK, as if, I'm an intern, best watch I could afford would be a Dora the explorer watch!)

Cheers,
Rebecca
The glorious poor nightowl intern.

Unlike Beckitt , I'm a day person who just happens to stay up late  :-)

I like the idea of being an early bird, but find that, in truth, it's easier to avoid your bed then it is to leave it.
