Im an owl and wish I was a lark. I envy those ready to get up early.
I am an early bird. I really enjoy the peace and quiet that early mornings provide. In general the neighborhood is quiet and certainly no phone calls, and it is really too early to go out and do work in the yard.
So it is my quiet time to read, or write, or goof off without feeling guilty.
Well, you still get to use the lark bathrooms.
I’m a night owl and Mr. GG2 is an early riser. He gets out of bed and then I hear him in the kitchen chatting with the dog and singing a little song as he makes his cereal. I groan and go back to sleep for 2 more hours. :-)
I’ve been both throughout my life.
Since I have been self employed for most of my working life, unless I have an appointment or deadline, it does not matter when I work and sleep. When I had young children, I had to be early to sleep and early to rise.
But what works best for me is to work when I get spurts or explosions of creative energy - day or night - and sleep when my mind is clam and my body tired.
