Although people often go against this preference,usually for a job,we all know whether we like to party or play until the wee hours,or get up at the crack of dawn.I've NEVER been a "morning person",and I've always been happier when I didn't have to try.

Night Owl, and Lena proved that I'm significantly better than early risers, so there. Seriously, I like to go to bed late because for some reason, I feel like I'm wasting time if I go to sleep too early.

Staying up late is a hell of a lot more fun.

Beyond that, a new study shows that early risers start to crash after just 10.5 hours while night owls benefit from renewed alertness after the same duration.

At this time it is 1:45 AM here in Atlanta and I am wide Awake. I'm gonna Have to go with Night owl.

How about both? I'm a classic, clinical insomniac, and have been since my teens. Four hours sleep is above average for me.

There are days I would tear someone's throat out with my teeth if it would give me 8 hours sleep.

Night owl. Regardless of the time I get to sleep or wake up, it is usually not until 1:00pm (and two cups of coffee later) that I function like a semi-normal human.

If you go to bed too early, you waste the entire night.

Early raiser. If you get up too late you waste your entire day.

I have gotten up at 5:00 for so long that it has become a part of me. Even on my days off I get up early.

Must be that old age thing creeping up on me.
I spent most of my life believing that, in bed by 2-4 AM and up by 10-11 AM was a perfect pattern. In the last three years or so, it is more like bed 9-10 PM, up anywhere from 4:45-5:30 AM.

Night Owl...I am totally not a morning person. I have always been a late night person most of my life.
