Who is an 'early to bed, early to rise' type, and who prefers to stay up late?
I'm definitely a night owl. Maybe I never grew out of the childhood idea that being allowed to stay up late is a treat. Obviously at the moment I don't have to get up for work, but even when I am working it's very rare for me to go to bed before midnight.
I have to rise quite early for my job (I'm always in the office by 8am) and, like many women, I do a full time job at work and at home so I am ready for bed at 9pm but I usually sit up and watch TV or read.
Some nights I work until 9pm (that means a 13+ hour day at work) and I cannot go to bed as soon as I get home because I need time to 'wind down'.
Luckily, I live three quarters of a mile from my work place (a fifteen minute walk at most) so i can get there and back quickly.
I have never been a night owl so this lifestyle suits me well. Although i go to bed early, I have been a life-long insommniac who finds it difficult to sleep.
