I am certainly not a morning person. During the summer I can hardly drag myself out of bed and walk about 5 feet into the living room only to lay down again on the couch and watch some T.V or play GT3. It takes me about an hour after I actually wake up to be able to function properly.
 
I don't like to wake up early in the mornings, but I can if I have to, and I usually have to. Usually for work or some other reason I'll be up at 7am sharp on most mornings, so even if i'm out drinking or something the night before, you can bet I'll drag myself out of bed at 7 on the dot. You know what they say "If you party with the boys, you're still gonna have to work with the men."
 
The only purpose of waking up early is to have more time to do stuff. I dont think Ill do it just for fun. Anyways, I used to be a morning person when I was like 15 years old. Now matter how late I used to go to bed, I would wake up at 8am.

Not anymore, I usually wake up at 11am.
 
My response is somewhere in here, though lately, I've been getting up later.
 
AWWWW Crap!!! I did a search and I didn't see this!! I knew there had to be a thread about this but I thougt I'd find it.

Crap!! Sorry for the spam guys. Post if you want. I don't care anymore.

Dodos are always summering, they're protected.
 
Oh, Dodos have protection? The things they invent these days! (Though it can't possibly be helping the extinction problem)

DODO!!!!! :D :p

I'm out numbered. Yes, I'm a morning person mainly because I have to be. But at the same time, I typically find myself wanting to wake up early (Between 7 and 8:30ish). Basically because I get to do more stuff. Plus I hate waking up late because I just feel even more groggy.

Yeah - they're on the semi-endangered list.

I go to bed at about 5:00 in the morning. Does that make me a morning person?:odd:
 
I have to get up at 6 every week day to get off to work in time. But on the weekends I'll sleep all day.

I can get up and get going pretty good though. Thank you coffee :D
 
I absolutely love the morning. Just the direction that the sun shines seems to make me feel good. However, unless I have to be, I am never up to it. If my schedule allows, I don't usually start getting tired until about 2:00 or 3:00 AM, and eventually wake up about 11:00 AM.
 
Waking up in the morning sucks. I gotta be to work M-F by 7am, so I need to be up by 6:15 at the latest. Sometimes my mom will get up with the kids on the weekends and then I wake up around 10.
 
I am definately not a morning person, but I would actually like to be.
Just need to start working in the mornings, but it's gonna be a very tough transition from going to bed at 5 am to being at work at 5am.
 
I have to be on the unit by 6:45. I have a 35 mile commute. Spent 4 years in the Navy. I have been converted to a morning person.
But the whole navy thing taught me to sleep anytime, anywhere, including standing up.
I've usually got my feet on the floor by 0500 on work days. Out the door by 0545. I sleep in till 0630-0730 on my days off.
Rarely, I will go back to bed after depositing kids at school.
 
I ain't no morning person, but I've been in the past and it wouldn't take much to change me. Now that we're on our work schedules, I wake up before nine and work until noon. Then I come on here for two hours - usually longer - and work until ten PM. Then like five hours doing stuff (or whatever) then back until work for another two.
 
Hate mornings - takes about an hour before I manage sentient thought (which considering that includes the drive to work is a bit scary), and then I'm usually particularly grumpy until about 11. Been worse since I gave away caffeine.

It's better when I managed to drag my arse out of bed and run in the morning, but that's happened exactly once in about twomonths.

Why did you give 'away' caffeine?
 
I h8 mornins!!! more than anything, my wife and i agree that anything before 11am is still night time!

my brother however is the complete opposite....
go figure
 
I hate getting up, but I must, work starts at 7:30. I'm usually awake and alert by 9AM.

My little brother is completely opposite. He wakes up every day before 6AM to watch anime and play video games. Little freak!

You're not fat! Are you just into the whole 'low-carb' outlook on life?

Well, I don't cook, and the other half's on it, so that means I'm on it - sort of.

I have cut back on many carbs, like sugar and white flour. I do eat some complex carbs, particularly low sugar muesli and barley flakes so that I have enough glycogen to get through my long runs, but otherwise try to steer relatively clear of things like bread and anything sweet.

I think there's actually quite a bit to what Atkins was thinking. I think he's gone too far some areas, but I agree with his ideas on sugar and white flour - there are much more effective ways to take on energy.

Caffeine supposedly interferes with the body burning fat - I thought it was the other way around, but apparently not. Oh well, one less vice, I suppose.

I look at it this way - every kilogram less I have to drag over 42km in September is a good thing...
