I guess I'm sometimes one and sometimes the other and, as such, can relate to both perspectives you illuminate. In general, I'm more of a burn-the-candle-at-both-ends kinda gal, but anyway...

I'm single, and I live in San Francisco. The night life is great: bars, live music, clubs, people. But I get sleepy at 9. Even if I do go out until late, and don't get home until 4 or 5am, I still get out of bed no later than 8:30-9:00 (I'll take a nap later). As a kid, I always fell asleep during the night time holiday kid specials. I always fell asleep before Santa Claus appeared in the parade on TV. I always fell asleep during whatever tv program it was that I begged my parents to let me stay up and watch. My parents hated that I'd always be the first one up (especially on weekends), sometimes before dawn, watching old movies and cartoons on television. I still fall asleep watching movies at the theater and at home, much to the consternation of my x. If I fell asleep during a movie, he would laugh out loud during scenes that weren't even funny, just to see me pretend to still be awake and laugh with him as if I saw the funny part in the movie too. Then he'd call me on it. I still hate going out at night, but as a single guy who wants to meet other available guys for a dating, what else can I do? I totally relate to your post.

I've suddenly found myself a morning person after spending all of my life being basically the opposite of one. If you would have told me even a few months ago that I would be one of those people who can't sleep past 8am, even if I'd been out to the wee hours of the morning the night before, I would have laughed. The fact that I intentionally get up early to go running before work still boggles my mind. Keep the posts coming! I have a feeling more people can sympathize with you on these things than you think... Kareem, I’ve really enjoyed all of you posts.
