Are you a morning person?

I get up in the morning, walk the dog and then play my Esquire for about an hour before going to work. I can actually play the guitar in the morning. When i get home from work, I can't think of anything to play and if i do, I fumble all the way through. I was improving some stuff this morning and really having a terrific time and right now i can't put two notes together that sound good.

I work from home so I play anytime there's downtime from the job. But in everything else in life it seems like I do better in the morning.

Sure two or three o'clock in the morning is a great time to get stuff done and play a little guitar to boot. Other than that my other morning doesn't get functional until about ten.

No.

I get much more done at night and feel more creative.

Begrudgingly.



I'm a night person trapped in a morning person body.



Favorite time of the day for me is midnight to three(give or take 30 minutes). But on account of getting up so early, I rarely see it anymore.

I'm not even a person in the morning - just some entity... walking around... looking for the coffee... bumping into stuff.

All my life. Always did my school work in the mornings, studied for tests the morning of the test. I practice best in the morning but enjoy playing anytime during the day.

Morning player here pending my 1st liter of coffee. Evening player after a 12 oz brew. Not much time left for playing in the middle of the days.

Definitely not a morning person. I've seen many more sunrises coming in than going out. Up past midnight most every night. My wife, on the other hand, springs out of bed at 5:30 a.m. and goes for a run. I've asked her to run for me, as well, so I can sleep in.

I'm usually up on the early morning, from the night before, and go to bed around 5 or 6 am.
Does that make me a morning person?

As far as getting paper work, etc, done, I am definitely a morning person. I have to get my reports done early. By noon, my brain is starting to turn to mush, and I have to get out of the office. Since I am an outside insurance adjuster, this works out well. If i had a job that required me to be in the office from 8-5, I would be a total lunatic.

I prefer not to be. I work from home, so my time is my own. I don't report to an office at all, but I'm up most weekdays by 8:00 or so. Most days I have to get out on the road by 9:00-9:15. Some days, I work on the phone and can lounge a bit before starting my routine.

We're all night owls around here. My wife is sometimes up waiting for me after gigs at 3:00 am. My kids stay up late on weekends. I never go to bed before midnight on weekdays, and on weekends, I'm gigging, and you guys know what that's like.

Well, I've never been a morning person, but I have to get up around 5:00 AM or I wind up being a night person. I am not a night person...

I'm at my best at 3:10 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. Everything else is just downhill.

Been getting up at 5:00 a.m. since 1991. Can't imagine doing it any other way.
