[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you posting about 9-10pm bedtimes and 6am wakeups make me realize I was trained into being a night person from when I was a kid. My parents taught at night, and so my brother and I had to hang out at the Y where my mom worked until she was done at 10pm every M-Th night. I've been oversleeping alarms for my entire life. I honestly feel like my brain does not turn on to normal functions until at least 10am, especially if I've dragged myself out of bed while it's still dark out. I'm chronically late and often bleary-eyed, but won't bat an eye at staying late to finish up work. I actually find my best work is done from about 3pm-10pm. Sadly, my office hours are 8:30-4:30, strict.

Now with my maternity leave nearly over, I'm trying to get back into a work wakeup routine around the baby's needs and I'm finding that I absolutely can not wake up. Can. Not. UGH. And the baby is a night owl, too. Double UGH.

To those of you who say "just got to bed earlier and you'll wake up earlier," I can attest – for some people, it does not work.[/quote]

Agreed. I was trained to be a morning person but I'm just not. No matter how hard I try, I don't function before 9. When I was single, I remted apartments close to work so I could wake up at 8 and be at work by 9. Now, with two kids, I'm struggling in the mornings. I am trying but my natural rhythm is a night person.[/quote]
