I see you're all at loggerheads :-) It's larks against owls, folks. I know all about night owls. I remember dandling my son Sebastian when he was little. It was late at night and I would walk around the room with him in my arms, feeling desperately tired. I'd recite a long list in a sing-song voice: "All the sheep are asleep. And all the birds are asleep. All the people in town are aslee..." He would close his eyes for a moment. Then they would snap open: "But Basti wake!!" Well, Mete - you know Sebastian. He's still a night owl. My partner David is also a night owl. My experience with night owls is that they get grumpy if woken too early. Is that right, Josh, Tito, and Mete? Hi everyone!

Is that right, Josh, Tito, and Mete?

I have been wanting to start getting into the habit of waking earlier and doing things such as meditation and journaling, but have simply put it off.

No traffic, no "normal people" up and about making noise, silence and a peaceful vibe to the air. Great time for playing music or sitting zazen, reading, thinking. I have to get up early for work - that is, 8am - and I hate it! And it means I miss out on my nice post-midnight time, I'm simply too tired by 11 to stay up. In the morning I'm a sleepy-eyed grizzly bear.. The earlier, the grizzlier! All of which, to be honest, runs in my family; I really think it's a matter of genetics, not choice. The sunrise is for watching before you go to bed, not after it! ;) I must say I agree with the night-owls here Mary – I find all the points you list are relevant to me at night-time, after midnight!
