Night owl or early riser?
 

When I first started in this business, i used to pull a bunch of overnighters and would be up working until 3 or 4am. I had always been sort of a nightowl anyways, but as i get older and now com,e into the office 8-4, I've become an early riser. I'm now sometimes waking up when i normally used to go to bed. I normally get up between 5 and 5;30, but have been known to even get up at 4:30 for an early morning jog or light workout.

So, are you a night owl or early riser?

Early riser for sure..

Used to be the same way, work until all hours of the morning, then get up around noon.. Now it's up at 4:30am work until 3 or 4pm, then fuck off until 10 or 11pm, sleep, then back at it again the next day.

Night owl 4 sure...
I come awake at night, and dont usually rise before midday...

i just don't sleep 8 hours a night. I'm usually around 4 or 5 hours of sleep.

I should quit the night shift indeed...

Both sort of. I usually get up just before 7 and then work until about 5 or 6pm. then some family time, and back to work about 9 or 9:30 until midnight, and then off to bed about 1am after an hour quickie with the wife.

I am both. I stay up to till 4-5 and wake up at 9.

I sleep about 15 hours a night on the weekends though

I try both I get about 4 hours of sleep at night lol

It varies. I go stretches where I wake up early. It depends. I have a lot of outsourced staff so sometimes my clock is upside down dealing with them.

I'm a hybrid. I stay up late when I'm out but no matter what time I go to bed, I'm up around 9 or so anyways. I don't like getting up really early, but once I get up, I'm up.

I go to bed late and get up early.

I've found I'm more productive as an early riser too...
anyone else notice productivity differences between the two?

Night owl here. I have gotten used to it that it's hard for me to wake up during most of the morning and early afternoon. :-(

lately, I'm both.

:eyecrazy

i'm with you on that one...i dont sleep, i nap. until i make money while i'm sleeping..i will nap

Absolutely. More gets done in the daytime hours.

I sleep 11-5 or 12-6 just about every night with no alarm. Just my natural body clock.

Very Nice! LMAO.

i think im a night owl because im awake at night because of my schedule...

Einstein was the same way...

except it wasn't money he was after, it was a Unified theory. :thumbsup

night owl :thumbsup

another night owl here. make me a nightingale. lol.

Both.. I have two jobs..

I've found i have a natural body clock too....I find it helps to go to bed about the same time each night and developing a pattern/routine

Night owl.. sleep during the day

I sleep from about 3-4 am to 8 am and then take a nap in the afternoon. I'm a real bastard without my nappie poo.

I do the best when I wake up naturally instead of from an alarm. Working the swings was the best, because I would still be up at 9 or so, but it was just when I woke up. Set an alarm for 9 and I'm draggin ass until a get few cups of coffee in.

Night owl for sure, go to bed at 6am up a noon

Sometimes both. But kmostly, ive been hittin the sack earlier and getting up earlier.

Ive been getting up at 5:30 - 6 am daily for the past year or so.

early riser here... i can't hardly stay up past 10pm! :1orglaugh

I go with the body clock and get to bed between 2am-3am then wake up at 8:30-9am. I can't jump out of bed and hit the streets running.

I have to roll into the day if I want maximum productivity. If I start my workday at 10-11am then I'm good for 12 to 14 hours straight. :)

Nightowl - always have been. I can remember when I got a pensized flashlight as a gift when I was about 12 - I was THRILLED! I could read at night w/o the light showing under my door :)

When I have an early flight I just stay up all night.

im a night owl, but i want to be an early riser, i find that if i wake up at noon or later, im lazy and just sit around and do nothing all day, but if i get up at 8AM im productive as fuck... i just need to get into a routine of getting up that early

I have adopted my g/f schedule. Alarm is at 6. I am more productive when working all day, Than Night owling.

Night owl over here...

I'm a combo of night owl and early riser, it depends on the day.

I tried the biphasic sleep cycle but couldnt really get it to work for me. Hard enough to get up once, much less twice a day.

I have always been a nightowl, but I am 27 now and feeling some changes. Im not sleeping as long as I used to...

In bed at 10 up at 5. You can set your watch by me.

night owl sometimes. i shift around

a night owl here! ;)

night i see the sunrise almost every day:thumbsup

Night owl for sure. I have a hell of a time getting in bed before 1 or up before 8

Back when my son was growing up and I was just starting out in the biz, I'd work all night while he slept, take him to school, come home and sleep, wake up, pick him up, do whatever afterschool stuff he had, eat, spend time together, he'd go to bed and I'd go back to work - it was a perfect schedule :)

My office windows faced the street - I'm sure my neighbors wondered what I did for the 5 years I lived there just staring at computer screen all night and sleeping all day ;)

holy crap, I mis-read that as penis-sized flashlight...

No Sleep here - what is sleep

night owl for sure

true...i guess you can say money is my unified theory :thumbsup

Kinda was used to that back in the day. Now a bit longer, thank God. In my last apartment I was sleeping mostly 7-9 hours. They say that's fine.
