I link my early rising to fear....fear that the Big Ben Clock will shatter my sleep.
My being a morning person originated with my Army service and I’m still an early riser 50 years later.
4:30 to 8:30 pm.
Book V. 1. In the morning, when you find yourself unwilling to rise, have this thought at hand: I arise to the proper business of man, and shall I repine at setting about that work for which I was born and brought into the world? Am I equipped for nothing but to lie among the bed-clothes and keep warm? “But,” you say, “it is more pleasant so.” Is pleasure, then, the object of your being, and not action, and the exercise of your powers? Do you not see the smallest plants, the little sparrows, the ants, the spiders, the bees, all doing their part, and working for order in the Universe, as far as in them lies? And will you refuse the part in this design which is laid on man? Will you not pursue the course which accords with your own nature? You say, “I must have rest.” Assuredly; but nature appoints a measure for rest, just as for eating and drinking. In rest you go beyond these limits, and beyond what is enough; but in action you do not fill the measure, and remain well within your powers.Nothing quite like getting a two millennium old message nagging me "to get my lazy butt out of bed" to start the day.
I wonder where I got my night owl gene...
Mornings are to be slept through and alarm clocks were conjured from the depths of hell.
I am NOT a morning person. Even after waking up for decades before 5 I couldn’t stand a bit of it. One of my biggest motivators to keep my ever shrinking business going is so I don’t have to use an alarm clock.
"Coffee. Because Murder is Wrong."
I must have had some kind of gene re-arrangement; I was a total night owl until my early forties, and now in my seventies I’m up at dawn every day and in bed by 9pm.
In another example of me being an outlier I’m neither a morning person nor a night owl. I’m really a midafternoon person.
So what does that make me as an evening person??!!
Up everyday before dawn. Even weekends, I can’t help it.
5:30 is about as late as I ever sleep snd 4:00 is not unknown. I’m red haired too which some have suggested is a Neanderthal trait. Who knows, maybe my family goes way back
oh yeah morning person....but at around 3 im done
Sure... because most all farmers the world over are descended from Neanderthals... right...
Nothing to do with getting up early, doing chores, all that, nope. The people promote godlessness at every chance.
