Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I'm definitely a night owl. I just hate wake up... especially in the early morning!

Night owl. Once I fall asleep, I can't get up for the life of me.

Definitely a night owl!

Definitely a night owl. Even when I tried waking up early to switch my schedule I would end up procrastinating until it was night anyways. If guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Productive all day. But super creative at night when I’m in bed and there is total silence around me.

Night time. I live for that moment when I can work without interruption. lol

I'm an early bird. I wake up usually without alarm around 3 or 4 a.m.

But that's not a choice; I just get tired early and go to bed early (9pm). Many people believe this is a good thing. And it is in the majority of cases. I'm able to work intensely for 4 or 5 hours without interruption before hitting the gym for 2 hours around 9 a.m.
My day is usually completed between 12 and 1 p.m.

The problem with this way of living is that I feel completely disconnected from my social life. And it's problematic in the long run.

In my view - mornings are for planning, scheduling, and doing repetitive tasks and nights are for creative work.

Night is for creativity.

Both, but I love early mornings.

Night owl, waking at 9am. But definitely want to change that.

I also recommend listening to Andrew Huberman's podcast. He explains a lot of neuroscience behind this problematics.

To sum it up, don't wake up too late, and have a sleeping schedule. Avoid blue light as much as possible at least 6 hours before sleep. Go for a walk during first 30 minutes after waking up (or get at least few minutes of sunlight to your eyes).

Early bird. When bootstrapping - 5:30am wake up and code. End the day at 3 or 4

Neither haha.

• I wake up ~7AM and hang with my little boy, take him to school.
• I'm usually in bed by ~10PM. Reading sci fi and winding down.

I'M OUTSIDE THE VENN DIAGRAM 😱

Night Owl for sure. A lot of bootstrappers in the WBE Space are night owls too...

I recently read the book "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod which made me a morning person! Really interesting read and has made me super motivated when I first get up in the AM.

Both side

I would love to ne a night owl... but if I am honest, I am most productive from 9AM to 12AM in the morning.

Early bird.

I love the idea of being an early bird, but that night owl constantly locks that bird in a cage 😅 I'm super proud when I have a productive morning.

Night owl trying to evolve into an early bird.

Definitely a night owl. A ton of peace of mind after the world went to sleep around me. I get a lot of work done at night. Sometimes it stretches into mornings as well.

What's the big adventages of both?

Currently I'm more a night owl (because of our young child which will wake up in the early morning when I'm try to be productive). So for me both works fine.

I would preffer to stand up at 3 or 4 am - but when it's not possible (as for now) I'm also fine with working after my full time job and after the house hold stuff from 9 pm until midnight - 2am.

The big adventage of beeing one of both should be: When are you most productive and when can you work without interruptions.

Was a night owl all my life too, until a baby came along. Working late at night after a day of caring is no longer possible (too tired). Only time now for deep work is from 5-8am, so I switched chronotype. It was a painful transition for sure! But happy and settled into 5am now.

Btw I started a 5am club for creators and indie hackers. We talk about sleep biohacking, and early AM productivity. Come join us.

Early bird! Productive at morning and day but working too late just doesn't work well for me

Neither. I work best between 8am and 4pm.

night owl

I'm a night owl but being an early bird saves the time for me.

both!

A certified night owl here.
