Mindless thread, but I'm curious.

I read somewhere that 40% of Americans wake up before 7am for work.

Do you? I'm not a morning person, so it's rare.

Howdy Ted,
Since Our main electrical panel blew up and caught fire we have been on genrators so I am up at 3 am, start work at 4 am, usually off at 12:30pm. When we get our regular power back I will get up at my regular time of 4:30am and start work at 5:30am. The on my one day off (sunday) I take the dogs out running I'm up around 4:30am. During the winter I can take the dogs out later so I can sleep in till about 6am. Then there are the times that I take the dogs to a running competition and have to be up around 2am.

I used to think, back in the dear dead days of my first pass at college, that if the good Lord had intended for us to see mornings, He'd have made 'em happen after 12 noon. As a drama major, where all our rehearsals and performances were in the afternoon/evening, I thought it made sense, and it did.

Then I went to work and did various shifts at radio stations, drove various delivery shifts, etc. In 30 years I've completely changed from "evening" to "morning" person -- partly because most of the year in the The Swamp, 5 am has the only tolerable temperature for exercising. It's nice to get up when it's still dark and cool(er) to work out, wash the car, or drive to breakfast before the roads get jammed. I don't remember the last time I slept past 6 am, even on a weekend.

(Oh, wait, I do. Last week, when I was taking pain meds after a tooth extraction. Sorta nice.)

I think it's possible to change from one sort of "person" to the other.

Check out time stamp for this post. Our Lab gets me up at 5:30 like clockwork. It's usually within 2 minutes of the same time every day.

Usually up between 5:30 and 6 (AM). In bed by 10 to 10:30 (PM). But not like an OCD thing. Sometimes I stay up late to post poop on the OD or read or watch the telly. Sometimes I sleep to 8 or 9. (except on workdays!).

Early birds. I need 9 hrs of sleep.

I don't need to be in to work until about 830, so getting up at 730 is about right. I only need to keep an eye on one employee, who's an as needed worker. During the summer that's full time.
