Let’s Begin…
Do you wake up early every day or do you stay up late every night? Waking up early would mean you are a morning person, staying up late into the night would make you a night owl. What effect might this trait have on your personality? Intelligence? Success rate?

I'm a night owl- I loved this video because it explains some of my issues so well!- It takes me a while after my alarm goes off for my brain to kick in and open my eyes even- I start work at 7am for early shift and get up at 530/6am- I feel tired throughout the day! - when working late shift I am awake, never late and happy to stay longer if needed.
It's just very interesting.. My husband is an early bird and is often asleep by 9pm

I am a night owl. I think it is helpful because during the day I do not have the energy to do my classwork but luckily it is due at 11:59pm. So, I just finish my work at night

I self-describe myself as a night owl. It's not helpful when I have to wake up early in the morning. As of right now I have a free first period so this is helpful. I don't think it's harder, it could just be more difficult if I have activities early in the morning.

Night owl, I think. This society already gives too much advantages to early birds. Do not forget those night watchers who are protect human beings at dark. And there is a question in my mind: What will happen if a natural night owl move to another side of earth?

I'm an early bird. It's helpful for me. Because I can be more concentrated in my job in the day. At night I feel intellectually tired. And several doctors say it's better to sleep early.
