Are you a "morning person"?

Well, This is strange. I can be wide awake at anytime during the day or night immediately.
When I sleep, and dream, I feel intensely awake. (as though my mind is active and functioning)
but if someone were to wake me, I can be functioning in the waking state in a second.
It's extremely rare that I sleep so deeply that I don't remember my dreams, which are intensely
spiritual. I think I feel most awake just before going to bed at night. Odd, I know!

Same here. I had to be in my office by 8:30am at the latest when I was working. Somehow I did it but I wasn't fully functional until the afternoon.

I would like to be a morning person again. I have tried to do what you do but later in the day I feel so sick I have got to lay down. I went to the doctor yesterday. She gave me a prescription for Lunesta. I went to pick it up today, the insurance says they will only cover 15 pills a month. I will try it but call the doctor so she can call my insurance for further coverage. We have tried so many things, it is rediculous. She told me to take it about 10 or eleven at night. It might not work at first but to keep on the same schedule. I will let you know.

I'd be very interested in hearing how you get on...
 
For sure a morning person here. Retired and still set my alarm for the beginning of Civil Twilight about 30m before sunrise. Drives Sharon crazy. Even without the alarm set, first light awakens me.

Best recruiting ad I ever saw, "Your coffee, First Sergeant", as a young soldier offers a steaming canteen cup of joe to Top. With the narrator in the background saying, "U.S. Army, we get more done by 9:00A.M. than most people do all day." Fourty years ago, and I still live by that ad.

Pretty much sums me up. If it isn't done by mid-morning, it probably won't get done. Drives Sharon crazy.

Great thing about being a retired senior, is every day I wake up is Saturday. Hugely different to my instant upon waking happiness than a Monday during my 8-5 m-f working years. All my adult life have not been able to drink any caffeinated beverages due to medical issues. So during my working years, the first hour or so was always without a smile. As someone that only occasionally watches TV, it isn't difficult to retire by 10pm. For health I usually drink a couple cups of water each night.

Most days I'll wake up between 5am and 6am and have to p that has a way of making me get up, so will also turn on 2 computers downstairs then return upstairs to lie prone inside my warm beddings with a old goose down sleeping bag on top where I might try sleeping more or semi awake start looking at whatever on my moto g smartphone. Then a half hour to hour later will go downstairs and start my day. Note also infrequently eat anything at all till noon. A good few hours for productive computer work and minor chores.

On days I'm out in the field for photography depending on subjects, may be up and on some adventure during dawn hours. Up in wilderness at 11k feet, dawn's are often icy at all times of summer. So even more difficult rising from a warm goose down sleeping bag within a tent in the darkest dim dawn. Usually have all gear set up to go during previous evening. Below excerpt from another website page:

Above image shows a rising dawn reflecting in a pond with silhouettes of Mt Williamson, Trojan Pk, Mt Barnard, Mt Russell, and Mt Whitney, 3 of which top 14,000 feet. I had to get up in the chilly dark before 5am and then after putting on warm clothing, with headlamp hiked up less than a mile to this no name pond where I set up and waited in frosty turf grass. This was shot with my Sony SEL1650 zoom kit lens that I prefer for such dawn and dusk subjects.
 

"Are you a "morning person"?"​


I'm just a person. Sometimes I'm up at dawn, other times not. It depends on what I have going on. I only set my alarm if I have an appointment in the morning, just in case. Sometimes, when I wake up too early, I try to go back to sleep. If I can't, then I'm up! Other times I can return to bed and sleep for a couple more hours. :sleep:

I remember the good old days when I'd hit the sheets 🛌 and be able to sleep for eight to ten hours straight without having to get up to pee. 🥴 Those are fond memories.

When I wake up I'm usually fine unless I haven't slept well. Then it takes a little more time to kick my a$$ into gear.
 
I'm a morning person I usually get up anywhere from 6-6:30 am,get dressed then go out for my early morning walk It energizes me.While I'm eating my breakfast, I ck my emails, look what happen in the world overnight as I slept,then come to SF to start posting
There are some mornings when I didn't sleep well,feel grumpy not wanting to do anything for the rest of the day
 
I wouldn't say I'm a morning person at all. I'm an 8 hour sleeper, up about 8 am, and coffee, computer, news, and mentally arranging my day before 9:30 or so. My most productive times are between noon and 5 pm. Nope, not a morning person.
