Me and Hubs are both total night owls. Him moreso than me because he’s worked the graveyard shift for as long as I’ve known him. We have our most intelligent conversations around 10pm. I usually hit the sheets around 11pm.

Thankfully the girls aren’t morning people either. It must be an inherited trait!

I say my brain stops functioning around 2, lol. Which is a bad thing when you work outside of the home. BUT I get to work at 630, so I have all morning to be productive!

I’m a morning person out of practicality, not nature. Like you, I function so much better when I wake up early and get things done before the kids wake up. If I wake up right as they do and have to rush around in the morning, I’m not a very happy person.

The only problems occur when we get together with my husband’s brother and his wife…they are definitely night-owls. They always want to get together and socialize at night when all of our kids go to bed, but we start going into sleep mode around 9:30, which makes them very frustrated!

In college, I was a total night-owl. I would sleep until 9am and stay up until 3am writing papers. I loved doing my work late at night. Maybe someday when the kids are grown I’ll get to be a night owl again. :)

I love mornings…quiet new days with hot coffee in my favorite mug. Snuggling with the kids in our PJs. I like to enjoy the mornings until about 9am, then do chores and responsibilities until about 2pm or 3 pm. We all rest and take a break in the afternoon before I start supper. We love evenings when daddy is home and we all snuggle and play. The kids go to bed around 8pm. Hubby and I enjoy time together for a couple of hours. I usually like to spend about 45 minutes in the late evening taking a bubble bath and reading all by myself. I like to be in bed around 11pm. Hubby usually stays up way later than me…he is a night-owl for sure! It works for us, though!

I am a morning person! After about 2 in the afternoon I am dragging. The only conversation my hubby and I have after 10 is him trying to wake me up from the couch to come to bed. I fall asleep every night now watching TV. I am only 36, but it’s like I’m an old man who falls asleep whenever he sits down.

I am a morning person, too. You said it just right… I handle all of my current projects, chores, and conversations before 6pm. I call it my “witching” hour… I hope that’s okay to say :) After 6pm I tend to become cranky, tired, and incoherent. Well said, Laura, and thanks for sharing your heart!

If mornings started at 9 then I’d be a morning person!! I’d like to stay up late and sleep late. Unfortunately my kids are early risers. Right now I have no choice but to get up early. Someday I will have my revenge, like when they’re teenagers and want to sleep in!! Hehehe!!

I am definitely a morning person. This causes some problems with my hubby who is a night owl. He will stay up till 1 am at times and sometimes wakes me up. He thinks the kids are like him and needing little sleep so they don’t get the sleep they need. Sometimes that makes for a cranky mommy also.

Absolutely a morning person! I get so much done between the hours of 8am to noon. If my chores aren’t finished by noon, they wait until the next day. I like to “relax” (do we moms ever really relax?) in the afternoon and be in bed by 11pm.
