Just wondering if anyone knows why some people are nihgt owls and others up at crack of dawn? Is it possible that the time of day inwhich in you were born could have something to do with this? I was talking to family members and it seems that those of us born at night or late at night seem to be night owls. Am I wacky or what?? Just like to here some other opinions! Thanks all.

People have a cycle called "Circadian Rhythms". Some of these people have a slightly longer cycle which is why they are less able to be alert in the morning. Those who are awake and up and about almost immediately in the morning have an almost exact 24-hour cycle.

Here is an article that discusses this phenomenon.

Gee thanks for the info Sherasi. I really didn't think there was alot of scientific stuff to this. Haha... Just thought we were blowing a bunch of hot air.

yeah, I myself am a Night-Owl.. my husband sagus is a Lark... Works out ok, he is pretty sweet and lets me sleep in most of the time!

I'm by nature, a "Night Owl" - but I've been forced into a day routine. Argh!
So I'm used to waking up at dawn and then becoming very sleepy in the afternoon or at least by night. <---Me yawning

Yet my personality changes when the sun goes down - I feel more natural, energetic and alert(when allowed to follow my own time schedule), and more willing to do things.

Mid-afternoon is the hardest time for me. Guess that's part of my bio-rhythm too.

PS - I was born at dawn! In fact, so was my Night Owl daughter. My Night Owl son was born in mid-afternoon (Did I say something about that being a hard time for me? ).

Cool site Sher..I myself am a nite owl always have been, I remember thinking I wish they held school at nite for people like us..
