Are you a morning person or rather a night owl?

Lots of developers and a fair share of marketers could be qualified as night owls who don't want to be bothered till 11 am. Some other professionals are more efficient early in the morning. What about you? Let's get a snapshop of PH community!

Morning person all the way

It depends on what I need to do. Some hard tasks are better evening time. Easy but mechanical work in the morning.
Sandra Djajic
I'm 100% a night owl.
Olatz Urrutia
@inesfenner Same here! I struggle to wake up early and be productive. However, at night I feel so active.
Aaron O'Leary
Morning for sure, at least in terms of work, I like to get a large amount of work done in the early hours, can then be a little more relaxed in the afternoon and reserve the night for netflix and some good food!

@aaronoleary I'm the same way. Mornings are definitely more productive to me it seems like. By the way, I'm looking for feedback on AnyGo, a tool used to easily compare the cost of driving and flying between U.S. cities. You can find it on my profile page. Thanks Aaron!
Aaron O'Leary
@dcodes I'll for sure take a look!
Daniel Engels
I am a night owl, definitely.
Tanya Kapoor
Hi @daniel_engels I am a night person. Although, I do my work in the morning and at night I become super energetic and focused towards my work. What about you? Are you a morning person or a night person?
Daniel Engels
@tanya_kapoor I am more efficient in the evening. And if the task requires creativity and concentration, I even prefer early night.
Cristina Imre
Oh, wow! I didn't expect so many night owls. It's refreshing being in the crowd. :)))
Chrystal Cienfuegos
Am I allowed to say neither? :P jk I'd say night but it depends. Whenever I can get the time, I have to take it.

I can see my laptop screen much easier at night and also the silence during the night makes me more productive.

I've always found myself less distracted/more productive at night BUT, after learning the incredible health detriments to fighting against a normal daily circadian rhythm (sunrise to sunset), I'm almost always a day person now.
Daniel Engels
@mrgregzen I didn't know of any negative effects (provided you sleep enough hours). Is it something well-proven?
Greg Zen at StartupHeroics.com
@daniel_engels yes sir. I highly recommend checking out The Huberman Lab podcast to learn more. It's a frequent discussion point but you can get a really good education on the subject by listening to the light exposure, and sleep episodes Light was a little more recent, and the show started with 2 or 3 episodes dedicated to sleep.

I hardly sleep at night!!

A 100% night owl. I am more productive during the night.

Even though night owls perform better on memory, processing speed, and cognitive ability tests, I'm a morning lark.

@mrgregzen I think they can earn money through different sources like Youtube and Dailymotion with the best content so the viewer can watch the entire video.

@amelia_charlie this is kind of weird. are you responding to my profile title instead of my question? if so, you clearly are not seeing the difference between Maven and those other guys. You most assuredly cannot create your own pricing for gated content with either. Really not sure why you are saying this

@gadgets_row How come I've seen the same comment above by someone else?
Shashank Pandya
A 100% Night Owl!!
Michael Andreuzza
Morning all the way,but I can definitely work super Kate on my side projects and feel fine with it!
Daniel Engels
@michael_andreuzza you manage to allocate some time to your side projects a s a founder?
Michael Andreuzza
@daniel_engels I sold my SAAS and one project together. Right now I have a lot of time, I still do work 9 - 5. Time to build another one... My side projects become paid projects, I make time for it. If there's a will there's a way.
Denis Pimenov
I am definitely a night owl. I go to bed at 2-3 am. I get up at 8:30 in the morning. It does not pull on the morning person in any way))
Daniel Engels
@new_user_11620223ff4de5436 I don't know how you do to sleep so little in the long run!
Denis Pimenov
@daniel_engels There is such a thing - the old school. This can be learned from parents and grandparents. I learned this from them))

I was a night owl... tried to become a morning person but turns out not productive. But now I'm a fully morning person and personally I find it more productive
Daniel Engels
@distartin why did you decide to change your habits?
Ryan T - Dezbor.com
@daniel_engels I heard from many people waking up early is more healthy and more productive. I started slowly by moving my sleep time earlier, at first it was hard but after like 1-2 weeks it became my habit and I don't need alarm to wake me up in the morning
Rich Watson
Nigh owl by nature- it helps get work done too as there's little to no distractions or anything urgent or user support needed.
Prashanth Guru
I was a morning person till I joined route. Since my two co-founders are night owls, eventually I wasn't left with any choice. So I am a Night owl too :)
Daniel Engels
@prasshanth_guru it should have been difficult to change your habits, wasn't it?
