some people like to do stuff during the day when they can while others enjoy doing stuff at night like run errands and stuff. which do you prefer and why?

i prefer the day because i don't like driving at night.

what about you?

Welcome back a_b!

Someday you'll have all your questions answered...someday...

Lateralus · May 25, 2004, 10:34 PM

I am definately a night person.

I find that I am unable to do anything that I enjoy until the sun goes down. Such as listening to music, reading or writing. The only music I can listen to during the day is music that I don't take too seriously one way or another. But music that I actually get into is reserved for the night.

Zimphire · May 25, 2004, 10:35 PM

Yes.

Face Ache · May 25, 2004, 10:38 PM

I'm a night person with two young kids.

God help me.

Zoom_zoom · May 25, 2004, 10:52 PM

I guess I am bi, i like a mix of both day and night.

KP* · May 26, 2004, 12:27 AM

I work in theatre so I'm used to getting home from work around 11:30 or midnight. I find it really hard to unwind when I get home, so I'm generally a night person. I wish I could do all my shopping after work because it's when I have the most energy and feel like being productive, but most stores are closed. On the rare occasions that I've been on a schedule of not working at night, being up during the day and going to bed relatively early has been really fun and convenient. But it doesn't happen often for me.

euchomai · May 26, 2004, 12:46 AM

I'm a friendly guy in the morning, I wake up with a song. Night though, especially a full moon, I turn into a real monster. I guess I'll post a pic...

hyteckit · May 26, 2004, 01:07 AM

This was my interview question.

I'm a night person because I enjoy working at night time when it's all quiet, cool, and calm.

jld · May 26, 2004, 01:54 AM

Night person. I get a lot more done when it's quiet and dark, and no one is around to distract me.

thePurpleGiant · May 26, 2004, 02:20 AM

Neither. I don't seem to get much done during the day or night.

Ditto. Night person, all the way.

Secret__Police · May 26, 2004, 02:49 PM

Night person.
I work nights, wake at 9:00pm sleep at 2/3:00pm.
On my nights off I can party all the way till dawn.

djohnson · May 26, 2004, 04:30 PM

I once was a night person but now I am a day person. Every once in a while I will have an urge to stay up late but still get up early...

lil'babykitten · May 26, 2004, 05:02 PM

I'm a night kitten.

Dunno why.

Nightmares of Apple's support perhaps?

MindFad · May 26, 2004, 05:08 PM

I'm a night Ogre. I don't know why. Not that I don't enjoy the day sometimes�I just prefer the night.

voyageur · May 26, 2004, 05:44 PM

Day bunny here. I love the sunlight.

You might be on to something there!

Cipher13 · May 26, 2004, 07:33 PM

Night, definitely.

Can't party till it's dark.

That, and... I just prefer the night. I don't like light

Re. the first post, I prefer driving at night over during the day...

fireside · May 26, 2004, 08:45 PM

Shinigami · May 26, 2004, 08:49 PM

I'm a nocturnal freak. I like the comfort of the darkness. Plus, you can't get sunburned by the moon

Funny Bugga · May 26, 2004, 09:15 PM

Night person. Better TV, better nightlife, better chicks, everything is better at night.

OH-N'omac · May 26, 2004, 09:25 PM

Early morning person. I wake up in a good mood. It drives other people crazy. I do my best work before lunch.

Tulkas · May 26, 2004, 10:51 PM

Isn't it kind of disturbing all the people here prefer the night and have a fear of daylight..

I prefer the night. I have excellent night vision.. light is hard on my eyes.

Ditto, except that I have trouble staying up late now that I am older... :/

light is hard on my eyes too. and i have super squinty eyes. and no one else in my family does. my mom has HUGE open eyes where she can put in her contacts without stretching the eyelids down and my dad is regular eyes.

DeathToWindows · May 27, 2004, 10:30 PM

both... I'm only decent company until 1am or so... but I'm up by 6:30-7:00am daily

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets upset by bright lights. What really bugs me is bright lights at night. I like dim lights when it's dark outside.

malvolio · May 28, 2004, 09:54 PM

Definitely a night person. When I can set my own schedule, I stay up until 4 or 5 a.m., then sleep till 11 a.m. or so.
Best job I ever had time-wise was a 3-to-10 p.m. shift (no meal breaks). I'd get home, have a quick meal and a shower, and go out and party till the bars closed at 4 a.m.

i prefer blue lights when its dark. but i hear thats actually really bad for your eyes.

Silencer · May 29, 2004, 02:22 AM

I much prefer the night, but my schedule requires me to wake up at 6am everyday of the week, so I rarely stay up past 12 at the moment.

OreoCookie · May 29, 2004, 05:06 AM

Night person. Dunno why.

macaddict0001 · Nov 7, 2004, 07:03 PM

night person because I find the day deppressing and light sort of bothers me. but I have to get up at 7:40 on weekdays so that sucks.

spiky_dog · Nov 7, 2004, 08:04 PM

night person. morning sleep is good, as is lack of traffic in the evenings.

i_rooster · Nov 7, 2004, 08:33 PM

I work hard night and day like those cough/cold medications.

OldManMac · Nov 7, 2004, 09:24 PM

Definitely a night person. Go to bed around 2 a.m., and wake up about 9 a.m.

rozwado1 · Nov 7, 2004, 09:44 PM

What's with all the night owls?

I do my best work when I'm up at 7. This also includes when I pull all-nighters (drinking). My best thoughts come to me between 5-7am.

nredman · Nov 7, 2004, 10:12 PM

day person since i go to work from 4-5am and usually go to bed about 8 at night.

Mastrap · Nov 7, 2004, 10:19 PM

Seems to be an age thing. Most people I know start up as night persons in their twenties and then turn into a day person when they're turning 30.

historylme · Nov 7, 2004, 11:26 PM

Night! Daylight hurts my eyes and I sneeze if there a lot of glow. That and I also burn too easy. And like most here, I can focus better, etc.

kiwibabe · Nov 7, 2004, 11:42 PM

I'm a day person who finds it hard to get out of bed at 6 am.

ManOfSteal · Nov 8, 2004, 12:50 AM

MilkmanDan · Nov 8, 2004, 01:32 AM

Night person. Only because I'm not a morning person. Which means I'll sleep in all day if possible, which only leaves me night to actually be productive.

SSharon · Nov 8, 2004, 03:39 AM

I am a night person for sure. My classes start at 11am twice a week and at 3pm twice a week. I generally don't start homework until midnight and I have no problem going to sleep at 5am most nights of the week.

That said when I have real work like when I am home for the summer, I like to get it over with and I work a 12 hour shift starting at 4am, never been late too.

The night is just better for doing work. Dim the lights or leave them off, listen to music and type away for hours on end. Get a snack, back to work, don't have to answer to anyone don't have people asking me dumb questions, no phone calls, its great.

Beewee · Nov 8, 2004, 02:21 PM

Night person, that is because I am addicted to sugar. So I'm tired when I get up all the way until after 12 when I have my first (but certainly not last) can of pop of the day.

Trying to get off of the sugar drug is a bi*ch man. I went one week without a fix and now I'm back on.

My observations exactly! I'm into that transition for quite some time and like it. The day (time to use) is so much longer, when you're up early.

PB.

Hmmm... I guess I'm just an "afternoon" person then.
