Absolutely a day person. The first time I went to Paris I saw bistros and restaurants being open and full of people at midnight. I thought this was crazy. I lived in the old city of Heidelberg, a major student city. It was full of restaurants, Locals (bars) and clubs. We would go out and stay late and hit a restaurant (lots of Italian places in the city) late. Even so, 6 AM and I was wide awake.

I’ve always been a night owl...even when I really needed to get up early in the a.m....like yourself I had to force myself to conform more to the norms of rising earlier and even then I stayed up late. I’ve actually seen me staying up all night to finish a book if it was a real page turner.

Count me in. Work and school were agony with me not falling asleep naturally until 2AM, while having to rise at 6. In retirement, I sleep from 2-10AM most days and am highly active/productive the rest of the time.

My kids and parents are/were the same way. Night owls.

Yes, I LOVE being part of both the day and night world. Running errands in the dark is an entirely different experience. I often choose to grocery shop then. Crowds are seldom a problem, though it can be slow going through aisles clogged with stockers. (;

Living alone for the first time in life, other than the occasional part-time work duties, I’ll drift through both day & night. No real pattern, sleep when I’m tired, eat when hungry ..and up when that feels right. Loving it!

Varies from one to the other

I bounce back and forth between being a day person and a night person. For some reason tonight I'm a night person. Retirement means most of the time I can go to bed when I want to and get up when I want to. Sometimes it's 9 p.m. and sometimes it's 3 a.m. .

i was a shift worker in the RCAF & could get by on a few hours sleep day. i would get off a shift in the weather office at 8 AM & be on a golf course at noon. the shift work probably has something to do with my inability to get a good night's sleep now. seldom sleep more than 4 hrs at a time & that's a restless sleep. often i will take & diazepan at 4 to 5 AM read for 1/2 hr+ then doze. when i finally get up around 8 AM i seldom feel really rested.
one of the worst curses of old age.

Definitely! More fun things happen in the wee hours of the morning...or you can just take a peaceful stroll, depending on your location.
