[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5-ish. Much prefer having the time to myself in the morning, rather than at the end of the day when I'm wiped.

I'm not really sure the morning person v. night owl tendency can be changed, tough. People seem to be naturally one or the other.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm a night owl and usually don't get up til 8:30 or 9 am since I've been remote working (which I was already doing before the pandemic). Our toddler is like me and will sleep til 11 on the weekends if given the chance; during the week, she gets up at 9 am when the nanny comes. DH on the other hand is an early bird and gets up around 6 or 7 am on his own. So he gets quiet time in the morning and I get it in the late evening, which works for us. I sort of envy early birds, though. The times I've been up for sunrise have been so nice - and the world tends to view early birds with a kinder eye.[/quote]

It has to be genetic - my husband and I are early birds and so are our kids, same with our good friends. My kids have slept until 8 am maybe once in seven years and I can't tell you the last time I was still asleep at 8 am. I do think it's true that people think early birds are more motivated, less lazy, etc., which is ridiculous. I had a boss who was a morning person and he liked that I was and constantly harped on the people who showed up at 9 am, even though they stayed a lot later.[/quote]
