Early bird or night owl?

9/29/2016

I think my answer to this question has changed over time.  During my school years, staying up late was fairly easy.  Getting up early was less so.  When I was a practicing attorney, I had to do both – get up early and stay up late.  At that time, I didn’t have much choice in the matter, so I just did it (not without complaint, if I’m honest).  Today, I seem to struggle with both.  Getting up really early is challenging and unpleasant, unless it’s done with copious amounts of coffee.  Staying up late is easy enough to do once in a while, but it’s not a sustainable routine for me.  If I had to choose, I’d prefer to get up early – not because it’s painless, but because I feel like I can get more done during the day than I can at night.  Given that I am increasingly fond of getting a full night’s sleep (does that mean I’m getting smarter or just older?), I try not to stay up too late or get up too early.  And so, I’m left wondering if it is possible for me to be neither an early bird nor a night owl.  I don’t think I naturally prefer either one, and neither is feasible as a long-term routine.  It does make me look forward to retirement (many years from now), however, when I plan on sleeping as little or as much as I want and keeping whatever hours I please.
