    I am a night owl. I always have been, even when I have tried to change this. I always, after a while, go back to my night owl habits.

    Are you a morning person, a night person, or does it not matter?

    As I've said, I'm a night owl. I prefer to be awake during the night, for a variety of reasons. Even though I can get onto an early bird routine, it has never felt as natural, or as comfortable, as my night owl routine.

    I'm a night owl as well. Not super late, but I tend to go to bed around 1 A.M. most nights and I've made sure not to schedule any classes earlier than 9. I'm definitely not a morning person.

    I'm only a night owl when I have to be (for work) otherwise you will rarely catch me awake after midnight. I tend to wake up around 7am most days, but there is one week in every month when I have to get up at 4.30am, again, for work. Even for an early bird that's quite punishing.

    Night owl, always. It doesn't matter how hard I try or how well I've been keeping a more 'normal' sleep pattern going, I always revert back to being nocturnal. It started around puberty and just got more pronounced as I got older. Of course this causes problems because a lot of the practical stuff I need to do involves going to or calling places which of course are only open within traditional hours (bloody daylight-lovers!) so I'm nearly always tired from either trying to force myself to stay awake so I can sleep the night or from not succeeding in doing this the next day. More recently I've been moderating it by splitting my sleeping hours into two naps of a few hours each, one in the afternoon and one at night, so that I will have got some sleep if I need to do stuff the following day.

    If the world functioned on the same clock as me, I'd be quite happy with functioning this way. I feel more awake and productive at night.

    Neither. I used to be a night owl. But I have to be at work early in the morning. So I rarely stay up past 11 on a weekday. I do often stay up til midnight on a fri or sat night though... so maybe I am a bit of a night owl. I am NOT a morning person though. Don't talk to me when I first wake up and I will need coffee and ecig before I start functioning. People who are chipper in the mornings makes me wanna punch them. Lol! Not really, but you know what I mean; it's annoying. Sorry, morning people!

    Always been a night owl. In fact, some of my friends still call me "Batman" or "Batz" despite that gag being more embarrassing than funny nowadays. Oh and since I see that some people use "Night owl" to describe their knack for staying up late, I must clarify that in my case is a little more extreme. I stay up all night almost everyday and I sleep in the morning (I go to bed around 6 am). This has always been the case ever since I was 13 or so, only in those days I used to sleep whenever I got home from school. So yeah, despite the raccoon eyes that come with it, I thrive during the night hours and, while I hate cold, I welcome the longer winter nights with open arms.

    On the other hand (to no one's surprise) I absolutely abhor mornings.

    I'm definitely a night owl. I stay awake until the AM, and never want to get out of bed in the morning. When I get the chance to sleep in, I will, for as long as I can. :icon_bigg

    I can go both ways honestly, but I prefer staying late though...

    I love everything about the night. The morning sort of sucks for me

    Night owl. It's pretty much where, once that certain time of evening hits, this -I'm awake- feeling hits me(if that makes sense).

    We could be night owl buddies. Unless I have to be up early for something, and even then I tend to find ways to keep some of my night time(like splitting my sleep into naps), I hate mornings with a passion. I usually don't go to sleep until 4-5am on average.

    Neither. I'm awful in the mornings and I don't have the stamina to stay up late at night like I used to :/

    I'm actually a morning person, but I can quickly procrastinate and do random things in the morning, which messes up my entire day. :/

    I get up at 6:00 or before almost every morning, and I go to sleep at about 11-1 at night.

    I'd say I'm more of a morning person, but I really just have a lot of homework to do that can't be done in either the morning or evening alone.

    When I'm on holidays, I tend to wake up at about 7, and then go to sleep a little after midnight.

    Neither. I try to go to sleep between 9-12 since I don't care to stay up late, but I also wake up late (around 9-11)
