Morning, afternoon, or evening person? | ADHD Information
NOT a morning person. I have to get up at 7:00 am to get my kids off to school. I have coffee at around 7:45 and then take Adderall at about 8:30
I never feel fully awake untill about 10:00AM. I guess I should take the Adderall earlier.
I have my most energy and mental clarity at around 10:00 PM.
I'm so a night crawler, we have a group of us called the Night Crawlers.We snooze through work, and don't really wake up until late afternoon.
Today I was in bed until 15:30. Woke up at 13:30. Went to bed at 02:30.
Last Monday didn't sleep at all. Pulled two all dayers in a row.
By 16:00 my mind is in full gear. Megaflow.
I have to take drugs to fall asleep.
Thank God I don't work on a clock.
Btw, I'm classic ADHD, severe, w/ comorbid depression.
Problem is, I'm never depressed anymore (got divorced, life's a beach!)...
Miss the dd's, though...
I have a hypothesis that more AD(H)D folks would be evening or night people than they would morning (or afternoon) people?
Which are you?
I'm definitivly _not_ a morning person, I hate mornings. So for me it's correct, I'm a evening/night person/Kaks
Definitely a night person! Mornings are bad for me. I have a very hard time waking up.
Mornig person. I hate getting up early, but I ususally get up between 5-5:30 am I get everthing done by 10am. I start work at 6:30, work from home. I am useless at night. I get to tired, unless I don't take the time to sit down. if I go all day long a keep busy, I can keep going till 12am. but if I sit for a short while I am done. so I usually pop into bed about 9pm and fall instantly asleep. However, I am an awful sleeper. so the more tired I am the better sleep.
I figured all adhd were like me, don't need sleep and can work 15hours a day.
All 4 in our home are at their best at afternoon/evening. We sleep best in the day. If we were a Hs family school would never start until 10. My parents are even like us. RN'S anyhow. BN's are morning. Been on third shift for 10 years, don't know if I could survive working first!you drop off at or after lunch too?
i hate that. it's not always a 'carb-crash' for me. but i often get groggy in the 1-3 pm area, then start to come out of it after dinner.
Morning person -- I am up and peppy and my family is all groaning at me for being too happy
Pop right up every morning at 5:30am , On weekends I have been know to "sleep in" til about 6:30.
I crash too around 2:00.. start yawning a lot.. but then perk right up again in about an hour.. I thought meds might change that.. but nope.. they don't interfere with your bodies natural rhythm.
Night time I am useless.. I am ready for bed by 9:30pm if I make it to 10 I can barely keep my eyes open.
I am definitely late afternoon to evening person. It takes me nearly foreverto get going in the morning. I am looking for a job and am struggling with
the thought of getting up early to arrive on time.
Definitely a morning person. Awake by around dawn, cup of tea, listen to news then ready to get up and into it, as Im most fresh and alert up to lunchtime, then slow down for a bit and pick up again till bedtime. Five to six hour sleeper.
earlier in life, was definitely a night person.
now, i'm sharpest in the mornings, and don't mind getting up early. i usually wake around 5 am.
don't usually need lots of sleep. easily stay up all night. often get a second wind after 10 or 11 pm.
Middle of the night person here. And it doesn't matter how rested I am, I am a completely good for nothin sleepwalker until 10 AM.My shift keeps rotating on a 6 week cycle all around the clock. So right now I hate morning whenever it comes LOL.
Seriously though before shiftwork I hated mornings. They come way too early for my like. I had a few jobs (quite a few actually) that were 6 or 7 AM - a few around 4 and 5 too. I would feel dragged out through the week as I tried to work and then have fun afterwards. Ugh. I always liked the jobs where I'd be up at 8:30 and at work about 10. Office jobs where I was usually at a front desk or on a split shift. Graveyard shift is fine for me - I get up when I feel like it then sleep around 8AM or so. But I dislike afternoon (for me that's 3 to 11) as I miss all you guys and the lady I am courting. So nuts to that one.
I am a morning person. I getup at 5:30 a.m and take my adderall befor i even use the bathroom so , i think that is why, it kicks in and i get alot accomplished early morning towards late morning. I am also a night person IF i am interested or having fun doign something, but i am always so bored i could pass out at 8 p.m.

This fits me to a "T". I've never been a morning person. Generally I have another really down time between 3 and 4pm, then I good to go till late in the evening.
Night person most definatley. Cant get my head straight in the morning even if I go to bed early the night before, actually that makes me even worse.
I feel charged when it gets dark. Maybe I was an owl in a past life
