    Night Owls vs Morning Larks

    I've been working backshift 12's for the last week and a half. It's been fun reading the posts/responses as the various forum members cycle on an off thru the evening. Even the dead spot when most of the west coasters are done for the night but before the east coasters start their days. Plus the random posts from around the world.

    So my question is this: Are B riders more Night Owls, Morning Larks or Hummingbirds?

    It's 5:32 am....east coast. There's my answer! I'm in bed by 9 pm most nights.

    Go to bed pretty much when I want and get up early, from the working days, so I am a bit of both, mostly a morning lark, need help to be a good night owl.

    Been an early riser ever since I was in the military; that darn internal alarm clock is permanently fixated inside of me. Now retired from that; I work in I.T. from home these days. My "office" is roughly 12 paces away from the bedroom. Always up at 0500 hours to get on the network and attend to issues that take me virtually all over the globe. Along with my work laptop; I simultaneously use my personal desktop to pursue my other Internet interests (like this forum and it's participants) so it is nice to be able to do that in the quiet of the early morning; sipping coffee while in my work clothes (bathrobe normally ) before the bulk of the day arrives and ramps up with activity.

    I'm a night owl who works high school hours, which means I'm pretty much running on coffee all the time. Sleeping gets in the way of living.

    Morning person here. I usually don't get to bed before midnight and wake up at sunrise. Can't sleep when the sun is shining.
    Love taking morning rides.

    I'll sleep when I die...I have no need to rest or be awake at a certain times. I do 4 to 5 hrs of sleep every 24 hrs then I'm good to go, it might be midnight or it might be noon or anywhere in between when I get up and start my next wakeful retirement cycle, been that way for over 10 yrs.
    I play in my shop at all hrs of the day or night, but try and keep the real loud noises down like running engines or shooting late at night so I don't get neighbors to upset, but they all know me and usually ask what I'm working on when they hear me late at night or 3 AM.

    In complete spite of wearing a uniform for 28 years, I am a night person.
    Prime operating hours are 2200-0200.
    Unfortunately, people like me around before 1000 usually, so I must compensate, sometimes most un-willfully.
    Coffee is my friend.

    Well I have an accounting business(taxes and book keeping) by day and work the night shift at a casino at night (benefits baby!!!) so I'm usually on night hours when I am "working" my night job as a supervisor........
