Setting your alarm each evening makes you cringe; you find yourself doing some mental maths and figuring out how many hours' sleep you'll get if you go to sleep right now, whilst simultaneously cursing whatever it is you have to get up for at such an ungodly hour anyway. As far as I'm concerned, any time before 8am is to be avoided at all costs, any time before 7am is not a real time, and any time before 6am should only be seen if you're going on holiday.
You don't remember your last shower.
It's not that you don't shower; it's just that you do it on autopilot, so you never really have any recollection of it. I mean, I'm pretty sure I washed my hair this morning... But I can't say I actually remember doing so.
You have been bodily dragged from your bed at least once.
My housemate at uni adopted a policy of coming into my room and stealing my duvet to make me get up. It was cruel but effective... Sometimes. Other times I just curled up into a ball and carried on sleeping, minus the duvet.

Poured orange juice on your cereal? It's early! Can't find your keys? It's early! Said something out-of-character nice to your partner? It's early! This excuse is valid til at least 10am in my book and I'm not above using it beyond that point. It's definitely valid til dinnertime on Mondays!
You think Morning People are probably a different species, and treat them with extreme suspicion.
What's wrong with them? Why are they so cheerful when you're still struggling to remember which colour of traffic light means "go"? How are they functioning so adequately? It's a mystery! Never trust anyone who uses words of more than two syllables before 8am.
How do you feel about mornings? If you're a morning person I'd love to hear what you think of those of us with morning allergies! If you're not a morning person either, have you accepted it, or are you still valiantly battling to wake up at unnatural times and be unnervingly productive before lunch?

This is so me! I wake up 15 minutes before I have to leave for work, and I've literally got my routine down ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, my alarm clock on my phone actually tells me how long until it goes off! Not fair... xx
I am exactly the same, I was literally about to type this exact comment haha x

ReplyDeleteI actually love this! I'm SO not a morning person! I really envy the people that can workout and organise their life before 9am.

I am not a morning person, I am a grumpy and grunty in a morning lol x
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love to get up early to have the whole day to do everything that must be done, I am not a morning person at all. I cannot speak to someone if I don't have coffee first ! :)

haha I can relate to that, I have my alarm set on weekdays for 7.15am,7.25am,7.30am then last call 7.35am. Just to keep me reaching out for it in the hope I get fed up & think "sod it, I might as well get up".
ReplyDeleteI drag myself downstairs to the kitchen kettle, sit at the table & I have at least 3 coffees before I can begin my day.
Thanks for the read, off to get another refill :)
I am so not a morning person, I do the school run like a bear with a sore head every morning...
ReplyDeleteYep I'm allergic to mornings as well, I don't understand how people can be so darn cheerful and full of energy at like 7 in the morning- I don't even start waking up until around 10!

I'm not a morning person, either...but that's mostly because I'm a serious night owl and than need the sleep in the morning to stay functioning. Haha! Loved your post!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a morning person but I am married to one. There he is, WHISTLING, at 4:30am. Good lord!
ReplyDeleteI am naturally a morning person but most recently made even more so because of my insomnia. I am up at crack of dawn and I go to the gym.
ReplyDeleteAs a single mum I have to be a morning person, with my littlest waking at 6-7am! My uni student daughter however is another matter! Kaz x
ReplyDeleteI really like this post. I was not a morning person but I am now. With a business and two children, it's impossible not to.
ReplyDeleteI never used to be a morning person but getting up at 5am for work I slowly became a morning person!
ReplyDeleteI can get up early, if needed. Only if needed! Bed seems so inviting in the mornings!
ReplyDeleteI'm a morning person. I can't stay longer in bed where there are so many amazing things to do outsite.
ReplyDeleteHaha I am definitely 100% not a morning person! I'm always up by 6am with the kids (unless we're letting them crawl around the bed and pester us instead of actually getting up!) H x
ReplyDeleteI'm really not a morning person! I hate it, don't talk to me before 10am haha
ReplyDeleteHaha this proper made me giggle. I do the counting thing. SomeHow if its less than 9h ours I'm convinced il be a zombie next day. I also often ask my bf if I've washed my hair etc when I'm in the shower Coz I'm so sleepy. Of course he has no clue :-p weird thing is...at the weekend I'm a massive morning person and always first up out of bed. Can't physically sleep past 8am on a weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so me! I am 100% a night owl and the whole "you get used to it" is all lies lol. I've been getting up 5-6am for work for the past 2-3 years and I am still not a morning person!
