Which Type of Person Are You: Morning or Night Owl?

As much as I don't want to be it, I've accepted that I am a morning person. I try to be productive or at least sleep in until the afternoon, but it just doesn't work like that for me.

Every since I was a kid, I always got up early. The first reason is that I used to go to bed really early. Like when my mom said that it was time to go to bed, it was time to go! In fact, she never liked it when my siblings or I stayed up late, so we were in bed and sleep by at least 9:00 pm.

Then on top of that, school started at 8:00 am! From pre-school up until college, I always had to get up around 6:00 am just to get ready. Because of that, I adapted to waking up early and getting all of my tasks done in the morning.

As I look around in the lives of the people close to me, my cousins always slept in past noon and stayed up to 3:00 am. My friends choose to have classes later in the day or night shift jobs that start late in the afternoon. On the other hand, I would be the complete opposite. I'll choose my classes early, have early shifts, or just wake up early to get tasks done.

Of course, the main benefit that comes with being a morning person is that you'll be able to take care of your responsibilities and have most of the day to yourself. You'll be tired if you're not used to that environment, however, you have time to fix that issue.

The funny thing is, I tried sleeping in before, but that just didn't work either because my annoying mother always need something done or I need to do something in general, and I can't just sleep around all day. Also, if I try to schedule my duties until the afternoon, it just won't feel right and my day will be completely gone.

I like the idea that being an afternoon person may keep you a little bit more rejuvenated with the extra rest, but being a morning person seems to be the way to go. I like breakfast, the beautiful day scenery, the liveliness, and just being able to enjoy my full 24 hours because there isn't enough time in the day.

All in all, I'm a morning person. What are your thoughts and which one of these options are you?  I know most of you would probably say afternoon and I wouldn't blame you!
