Been noticing about myself that when I try to get up early and get outside I just don't have any energy. But after the sun goes down and I feel much more awake. Anyone else experience anything like that?

TorLin · 11-03-2009, 09:55 AM

i prefer night time

Mello · 11-03-2009, 10:02 AM

Yea sometimes it just feels as if day is night and night is day. I am more alert at night than in the day time, i find myself falling asleep more often in the day time, while at night it takes a while to fall asleep.

All the time, even right now its 1PM and i just feel drained, but around 7-8pm tonight i'll start to get absolutely wired and i won't be able to fall asleep til 3-4am no matter what, yet during the day I'm dozing off in class, kinda sucks.

shadowmask · 11-03-2009, 10:20 AM

Absolutely. I've always felt more energetic and motivated at night. That's why I always have to work out after the sun sets. I seriously don't see how some people can get up at six 'o clock and go for a five mile run. I'd pass out before I got my running shoes on.

I don't feel like I have more energy after the sun goes down but I do prefer the night over the daytime.

nubly · 11-03-2009, 05:11 PM

im a morning person . i get up at 4am. though i wish the body did not need any sleep.

Just Lurking · 11-03-2009, 05:15 PM

I love the night time. Too bad I don't have much of a life to go along with it~

Mornings are bad for me (getting out of bed is almost always a monumental effort) and so is the mid-afternoon. I start feeling better as it gets dark out.

pokeherpro · 11-03-2009, 05:27 PM

I do. Always have, ever since I was like 7, I loved being awake when everyone was asleep.
It kinda screwed me though, cause it led me to losing my ability to function while interacting with people during the daytime lol.

Larkspur · 11-03-2009, 05:42 PM

I love the nighttime. I always have, always will.

I usually end up staying up until at least 3 a.m. every day. The only time anyone will find me up in the morning is if I stay up that late - I've stayed up until 10 a.m. before. I always get my best work done late at night.

Yeah a lot of the time I don't feel awake until about 10pm. Also the earlier it is, when I have something "official" to do, the more anxious I get and the more ill I feel

... urgh.

carambola · 11-03-2009, 06:17 PM

I've always been this way.

Phoenix87 · 11-03-2009, 06:18 PM

I like nighttime better, but I have more energy in the morning.

Hank Scorpio · 11-03-2009, 06:40 PM

I'm definitely a vampire. I hate bright sunlight and mornings.
I get up 3-4 p.m. and work at night. I hate this daylight savings garbage cause now I have to walk out of work into the sunlight. Feels like I'm about to burst into flame.

Iced Soul · 11-03-2009, 09:38 PM

Definitely prefer nighttime over daytime.
This is why I stay up all night even when I have to be up most of the day. I feel more comfortable at night.

94hours · 11-04-2009, 01:00 AM

yea, its 4am and I'm wide awake, and have to be up by 9.... great

Princesspoopla · 11-04-2009, 01:31 PM

Ya I prefer nighttime over daytime because its more fun

I can hide in the dark and I dont have to go out in the world like at daytime and I feel more comfortable and hyper :3

its_a_rick · 11-04-2009, 01:56 PM

Yup, night > day.

hopena · 11-04-2009, 02:06 PM

This has happened to me at times, more so in the past than now.

I'm both a morning and a night person. I love bright, sunny mornings, and when I'm feeling relaxed and not depressed, moody, windy, rainy mornings. I also love the middle of the night - when I'm in a good mood, or just feel like hiding from the world... when I was younger, I would draw and/or paint all night. I loved it.

Oneiros · 11-05-2009, 07:59 AM

Yeah I feel pretty crappy until mid afternoon, and really good at night.
