ARE YOU A NIGHT OR A DAY PERSON?

SHE WRITES:

My mother-in-law used to tell me that instead of staying up late at night and waking up late the next day, I should sleep early and wake up early. Staying up late at night (or until early morning) isn't a problem for me but waking up early is a real struggle, especially if it's cold or raining! I also like working at night because I think it's more peaceful so I can focus on what I'm doing more. Although I've read that it's healthy to sleep early or at least before 11pm, it's still something I have to force myself to do. Even if I can function well during the day, I still believe I am a night person because of the reasons i stated =D.

A. night
mary: I have always been a night person. I can work late into the night...I do most of my work at night as I can focus better when my kids are asleep.I've enjoyed your blog very much.
ramon: Waking up each morning has been easy for me...However, getting up had always been such a task. I close my eyes for a moment and then, ta da! i had slept again! I guess that makes me a night person.
ha.ha.wait.what?: I'm probably more of a night person than a morning person. I hate to wake up in the mornings. I hit my snooze button on my alarm literally like 20-30 times.
reedwrites: I am definitely a night owl. If I didn't have to get up in the morning I would stay up until the morning LOL.Nice blog by the way!
Kathryn: I was once a night person . . . now, by necessity I've had to be a day person. But, I suppose if it were up to me, I'd be a night person.
Every Photo Tells A Story: Night, all the way :)Unless, I have really great plans for the day, then I can get my self going really early.

B. day
lee: Without a doubt, a morning person. Once I wake up and start thinking, that is it. I have to get up. In the evening I start shutting down by 11pm. Sometimes earlier.
meggie: I am an early morning person. I used to be the opposite when I was younger, but now, I love the peace of the early morning.

C. others (pls. specify)
jenners: C. I've found that I am really at my best from about 10:00 am until about 1:00 pm. I am neither a day or night person--I'm a midday person...In reading this, I'm beginning to think I might have a sleep disorder!!!
posh post: Mine would be C.sometimes i am really revved up in the morning. sometimes in the afternoon going into the evening.
henry the dog: I sleep alot of the time but mum and Uncle Hugh normally go to bed about 10pm. I think she's a mid-morning person. That's usually when she starts to come out of her 'zombie' mode - after her millionth cup of coffee.
philip: When I was a bit younger (winking)...I was a night person. Somebody who doesn't miss partying and socializing.But when I grew a little older (smirking)...I think I'd better get a longer rest at night time.:)
amy: Well, I'm a morning person and a night person, but not a middle of the day person...I am pretty productive in the morning...I generally don't go to bed until after midnight.
lynn: I'm a "revolving door" when it comes to sleep. On some nights I'm in bed by seven...Then, on other nights, I'm a night owl and up poking around till ten or eleven...I'm usually awake by six so I can spend a little time with my family before they dash out the door.
mrs.h: I would say I'm both. I love mornings but I really like the quiet stillness of the night too. I'm far more creative at night though.
why: C. I am both. A day person during the week, when I am forced to wake up early for work. A night person on the weekends.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE A BATH?

SHE WRITES:

When I was in the Philippines, I took a bath anytime I wanted or needed one. It didn't matter if the sun was up or down. All that mattered was if I think I needed one, I'll just go ahead and take a bath. When I was pregnant, I even took a bath 3 times a day in the summer!

When I came to China last year, I learned that most (if not all) Chinese takes a bath at night. When they wake up the next morning, they just brush their teeth, wash their face and rush through the day. Most Filipinos however take a bath in the morning but before we retire at night, we have half baths (washing the body but not the hair). This difference raised an argument between my husband and his co-worker... Our Chinese friends think bath time at night is BEST so they can have a good night sleep. My husband and I think the BEST time to take a bath is in the morning so you can have a fresh start.

How about you? When do you think is the BEST time to take a bath?
A. at night
B. in the morning

A. at night
brooke: I prefer the evening and the fresh scent of my lotion follows me to my bed and let's me sleep better. PLUS I am not a morning person. ;)
jenners: A - At night. I took your question very literally--a bath in a tub vs. a shower. I rarely take baths (I usually clean via the quicker and more efficient shower in the mornings) but when I do, it is a full-blown production with bubbles, music, candles, a good book/magazine and my little bath pillow.
don: I like to take baths at night, so I can just relax and soak away stress. The morning feels too rushed to take a bath, so I take a shower in the morning.
jada's gigi: I like nighttime baths. I like ending the day with a relaxig shower just before bed. I like to feel all clean when I crawl between my sheets.
saija: i usually shower at night ... after a day of doing, i like to go to sleep showered ... and i don't like water on me in the mornings (plus in a cold country - it seems that much colder to shower in the morning!) ...
ha.ha.wait.what?: I take my shower at night, so I can do the long process of drying and straightening my hair. (That way I don't have to get up early in the morning to do it.)
every photo tells a story: I like to take a long, hot bath at night when I can wind down for bed.Very relaxing and soothing.

B. in the morning
poshpost: for me, it is in the morning. i can't go out or start work without taking a bath. i just take a bath as needed throughout the day, but a morning bath is a must for me. :D
meggie: We always shower in the morning, to begin our day. If it has been a hot day, we also shower in the evening, so we are refreshed to sleep.Any time is OK!@

C. others (pls. specify)
nancy: What an interesting question.. I think it depends on what you do all day...It all depends.
mary: I take a bath in the mornings because it helps me to wake up and to feel fresh. I give my boys a bath at night because it helps them to sleep better.
marriage markers: i take a bath in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and then in the evening, before hitting the sack. i don't like going to bed without washing off the day's dirt and grime. lol
flowers: i take a bath throughout the day, sometimes up to 5 times, especially when it is really hot. where i stay, the place is really hot, so i sweat a lot. so i just hit the shower whenever i feel the need to cool off.
henry the dog: Never. My mum never baths me. A nice lady called Claire comes round from time to time and clips my hair off, but mum doesn't believe in bathing dogs.
lee: Ever since the advent of the (supposedly non-existent) climate change and its associated water restrictions we have only had showers. Sniff!I used to have baths in the evening. I always shower in the morning.
ruth: I have two answers to your question. If I shower, which is most days, it's in the morning. If I take a bath (fill the tub with warm water), which is rare, it's at night, and that is rare because it uses a lot of water.
pauline: What an interesting way to learn other customs! For me, when I bathe depends on how dirty I've gotten during the day. If I shower at night (after a day of gardening or hiking etc.), then I merely wash up in the morning.
zunnur: Taking a bath in the morning and in the evening is almost a must for me and most of the people in my country.
philip: Both day and night. I wouldn't dare going out of the house in the morning without taking a bath. And I wouldn't dare to smell bad in my dreams...I might end up having a nightmare!
why: Sometimes I love to shower in the morning, when I need to wake myself up quickly, but I also like to take a nice bath right before bed. It depends. I don't follow a set schedule.
