Are you an early to rise early to bed person, or a night owl?
What’s your favorite part of the day?
What a busy day! I am definitely an early to bed person – even though it’s summer for me, I’m still in bed at 9 or 9:30 to read my book!
Haha I’m in bed at 8:30 to read my book!
I’m early to bed and early to rise! I like to make the most of my day!
Exactly! I feel like I’ve wasted part of the day if I get up late!
I love seeing how other people spend their days! I’m definitely more of a morning person!
Haha I’m starting to notice a lot of bloggers are!
Props to you for waking up at 5am! I considered doing that when I started my new job because I really prefer working out in the morning, but that would mean going to bed so early that I would barely see my boyfriend, if at all (he doesn’t get home until 8 or 9 usually). I’m also definitely not a morning person!
Yea, I would switch to afternoon if that were the case for me, especially since I go to bed at 9!
Wow you have a long day! I cannot wake up before 7!
Haha and that seems crazy to me, I couldn’t sleep past 7! Although that’s more because it’s so bright in my room!
I love getting up early. It definitely sets the pace for my whole day. I always feel more productive and awake (and frankly, happier!) It’s always fun to look inside the day of another 🙂
Me too! I feel so productive and I get most of what I need to do done before a lot of people are rolling out of bed!
I am both! I feel like I can never unwind at night so I go to bed after midnight most days and am up before 7 just because! I like late morning/early afternoon best. This is usually when I workout and have the most energy.
Ahh I couldnt function on too little sleep! Haha I’m an 8 hours a night no matter what kind of girl, probably because I wake up so often in the middle of the night!
Busy day!! I’m more of an early riser and early to bed person, but it will probably be even earlier once I start working!
Haha yea, before work I only got up at 5am to workout one day a week because that was the only day I didn’t have time later! Now it’s every day…
you are a busy gal this summer! i like to go to bed around10:30 and wake up around 6:30. early mornings are my favorite time of day for sure!
Lol I miss the days when 6:30 was early… Which is why I can’t even fathom people getting up at like 8 on workdays! Lol I guess it’s all relative
I am an early to bed kind of girl… I feel so much better if I get a good night’s rest!
Me too! I feel awful without it!
Looks like your internship is keeping you busy! My schedule was about the same when I was teaching, but everything has been moved back by a half hour or so for the summer. I’m definitely a morning person though, so I get up fairly early still. And it will be necessary when it starts getting hotter!
Oh yes, my Saturday morning long runs will be bright and early this summer!
I’m an early to bed person so I can get a workout done in the morning. Did you enjoy oral arguments?
Yea I love listening to them! Haha it was interesting because the defense was very passionate/angry and the judge had a couple rude comments.
i’m definitely a morning person! i love going for a run outside bright and early 🙂
Yes, running in the morning is the best!
That will somewhat be my schedule starting next week, I will be in bed early so that I can get up and do a run each morning.
Yep, that’s why I do it, or for cross training!
I would love to be a morning person but so far mornings and I do not get along. Perhaps if I went to bed earlier that would change 😉
Yes, going to bed early is key!
What a day! It’s always interesting to see what life is like for someone else hour by hour.
I actually like mornings and evenings. This makes getting enough sleep hard sometimes, but sometimes I just alternate weeks of getting up early and others for staying up late.
Early morning in the city is really kind of cool -it is so calm and quiet; it’s nice. I am not one for late nights out though, I rather enjoy late nights at home.
I love the city early in the morning! I love the feeling that I’m up before everyone, while it’s calm and quiet!
You busy bee. Total respect for gymming it at 5 in the morning. xxx
Thanks, Catherine!
I’m so jealous that you are an early riser, and going to the gym at 5 AM! I am totally the opposite! I am pretty much non-functional or crabby early in the morning, but will gladly stay awake late doing work 🙂
Haha see I’m totally checked out by late afternoon!
I get up around 6:30, and go to bed around 10:30. Sometimes I stay up later (because I get distracted or can’t fall asleep), and then I still wake up at 6:30. It’s a problem, haha.
Exactly how I am, no matter how late I stay up I still wake up really early!
Early to bed for me as well, I’m in bed with my book by 9 most nights.
I’m so envious of your early bed time! I wake up at the same time as you but can’t seem to get to bed before 10:30pm.
I am such a morning person! I give myself at least an hour and a half to enjoy the morning before going to teach @ 8am. I love to have my breakfast, my tea and watch the news, blog and sit outside – all before work!
that’s what I loved to do this past semester when I had plenty of afternoon workout time, I loooooved taking my time to enjoy the morning!
