Night owl or lark?

Just saw a thread about being a night owl of which I am not- I’m a lark. I like early nights and early mornings. I love being up while everyone else is still asleep. Sometimes I’m up 3-4 hours before everyone. I can get all my house work and laundry done, prep dinner, lay out breakfast ready for everyone, meal plan- do my online food shop before my husbands alarm has gone off. It massively takes the pressure off me during the day. If there’s not much housework to do I can watch a movie or read in peace and quiet.

So are you a night owl or a lark?

Gosh you're a saint. DH is a shift worker and I'm an insomniac. We'd not cope if we hadn't learnt to sleep through each other getting up or coming to bed.
A very clumsy saint! For example, I got up for a wee at 2.30 last night, back to bed and knocked my drink of water off the bedside table. I put it the other side of my table so I don't knock it off but still managed it!

I agree it's the opposite. The owls stay up and out late, the larks slope of early. They rise to enjoy the peace and quiet before the rabble begins.
This is my experience to

I’m a huge introvert and an owl. I don’t want to be OUT late, I just like to stay up late to potter around doing my own thing and then wake up later.
