    What time do FWC member turn in for the night? Are you a night owl, or a lark? My wife and I are wired to be larks (early birds), so are typically sleeping by 9PM and up between 3:30 and 4:30 AM even on weekends.

    It is 8:30 here now...Good night FWC, sleep tight!

    Night owl here, always liked the quiet of working at night. Finished a print set at 2:30 this morning, got my first contractor calling at 8:15.
    It's that time of year.

    I'm normally in bed by 10 ish, then wake up around midnight, then again at 2am or so, and maybe again at around 5am. Plus i'm a light sleeper.

    Night owl for sure. Always have been. I got into the career I'm in because I didn't want a "normal" work schedule. I don't want weekends off and I don't wanna get up early.

    Early bird here, normally asleep by 21:30 and up at 05:30. I drive for near enough 4 hours a day to get to and from work which does get tiring. I would be lying if I said I don’t enjoy a couple of extra hours in bed on a weekend.

    Guess I'm both with the rotating shift I work. When I'm off, I usually wake up about 6-6:30 AM.

    I'm an early riser as well. Usually in bed by 10:00 and up 4:30-5:00 7 days a week. I slept in today....5:30!

    I enjoy the quiet of the house with nobody else up. This morning, I only got a few though. Charlotte followed me down a few minutes after I woke up.

    Early riser here. And with the last time change I’ve stuck on the old schedule and I kind of like it.

    I lean more to an early bird. Head to bed between 10 & 11, up at 6-6:30 I enjoy a quiet morning with just me and my Australian Shepard and coffee. If I can be outside like to see the sun rise.
