Are you a night owl or a morning person?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask something I've been curious about: are you a night owl, or a morning person?

I'm a complete night owl. Late in the evening, when everyone's asleep and everything goes quiet, it's as if my mind is just waking up. My most productive, calmest and most creative moments happen at those hours; the quiet of the night is my favourite time to think, to make things, or just to unwind. Mornings are the opposite, it takes me a good while to feel like myself.

How is it for you? What times of day do you feel your best, most energetic or most at peace? I'm also curious: is this something you're born with, or does it get shaped over time by life and circumstances? For example, has anyone here turned into a morning person later in life, or the other way around?

I'd love to hear your experiences.

    Is there by any chance A COURSE you'd like to recommend again?

    Just curious.

    @WhatThe think you're confusing me with someone else ; I haven't advertised any course.

    @Matt1976 You'd better not drink that much tea , or this time you won't be able to concentrate from all the trips back and forth to the toilet :)

    @WhatThe I don't have any course for sale on any platform. But if you're claiming I've advertised one, the burden of proof is on you. Tell me which page I advertised on, and share the link.

    @Matt1976 I get it now, your logic makes sense. My engineer side kicked in: an entrepreneur could develop something where the chair and the toilet are combined, so you'd never have to get up. That way your work wouldn't be interrupted and you could drink as much tea as you like in comfort. It would be tailor-made for night owls :)

    @Ross1975 I'll confess: I actually came here with my cats to hunt down the night owls. I've already set the trap; I'm making a list of everyone who falls into it, and then I'll have my cats hunt them down one by one. You've made the list too, by the way :)

    I'm quite confused with what's going on in this topic, lol. But anyway, I'm a night owl. I've tried and tried to go to bed earlier so I can get up earlier but it just doesn't work, even if I do manage to go to bed earlier and get up earlier I'll then feel shattered throughout the day and evening and wont get much done because of it, I just don't do mornings.

    @Amberpearl Isn't it boring being like everyone else?

    @Amberpearl Seems like even the platform is trying to keep you a mystery!

    I think I'm both depending on the situation. But I definitely am more of a morning person at the minute. Especially when the sun is shining. I love spending the first hour or so reading outside with a coffee 😊

    Wish there was a vote on this as I'd love to see what the consensus is.
