Night time or Day Time?

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:41 am

I work day shift right now, and in my last job I did over night shifts.
Both of them I found easy to handle, aslong as I had atleast 5 hours sleep before hand.
I find myself more focused in the morning but not driven, where as during the night I'm more driven than I am focused.
If that even makes much sense

I used to feel more active during the day when I was at Uni, but now that my job revolves around evening and night shifts my patterns have changed a bit. I'd love to get a normal 9-5 one day though.

Thats what my shift is supposed to be but I've move it to a 8 - 4, sometimes leaving earlier than that:)

Switches depending on my mood, but it's mostly night person. I do like me some day every now and then though.

I like sunsets the most actually, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd have to say night.

Night more or less.

I sleep around 6am-11am usually. Then stay awake for the rest.

I have a rock solid circadian rhythm. Whether I want to or not I'll get sleepy around 2100, and usually actually go to bed at 2200.

Love mornings, love the normal daytime, hate the sun. I want to move to Seattle or some other place that's overcast like 250 days out of the year. :hehe:

I really like night time but after 12pm during the day is pretty cool, mainly because I've finally woken up properly and function as a human being, not a morning zombie.

Daywalker, maybe a little bit more of a nightperson.

Great thread, really. I am a very nocturnal person myself.

I like it cold.... I remember when I last went to go see a movie I couldn't actually see outside because it was too bright.

In my teens I always felt that I was a night person, but these days I operate much better in the morning. I always feel better when I get up before 8am and always have a more productive day when I rise early. The later it gets in the day, the lazier I become.

Evening person and on weekends also a morning person. (as strange as it sounds)
this is because the sun shines right on my TV screen during day time hours and I can't see anything but my own reflection 4-6 hours a day (depends on time of the year). So on mornings before the sun starts shining and on the evening after the sun doesn't shine straight on the screen is when I like it best. I prefer to sleep at nights..

Hmm I think I am mixed. I really do everything about the same, regardless of it being night or day. Although, I do like to drive more when it is night time.

haha sounds just like a recording engineer. The bands record their music during the day and part of the night, then the engineer is mixing and mastering during the later part of the night. Indoors all day. Unless a music video is being shot outside.

Photophobia to me would mean scared of photograph, would not go well in my house :P
I'm not scared to go out, I just choose not to since I'm not a wee guy anymore and can't get away with hanging upside down from a tree without being called a drunk or looney
