Day Person or Night Person

[Edwin]

Are you a day person or a night person? When I was young I worked for both my Dad and my older brother. My Dad was a day person. He believed in getting up early, working hard, then quiting early for rest, and a good night's sleep. He was naturally full of energy and a go get them, type a person. No grass grew under his feet. When I was working for him I had to get up early, work hard, and quit early in the evening. My older brother was a night person. He farmed, and I drove tractor, combine, built fence, picked rock, and other such jobs for him. When I worked for my brother except for wheat harvest we would get out later and later, and we would work later and later, until sometimes we were still working at 10 p.m. During wheat harvest we would get out there early, very early, and we would still be working as it was getting dark. I naturally gravitated to his style of living. I worked swing shift for 6 years in saw mills, working from late afternoon until 2 a.m. I naturally graviate towards night living if I don't have to get up in the morning for any reason. I have worked jobs also for many years in which I had to get up early in the morning, so out of necessity I would go to bed early at night. If I don't have anything I have to be up early for I tend to stay up late. I think the general opinion is that people who are day people are better off than the night people. I'm not sure that is true, or if it makes any difference. I have to be up, not really early in the morning, but fairly early, and here I am still up and going at almost 1:00 a.m.! Unbelievable!

I have actually started getting my hours turned around, going to bed later and later, and either getting up later and later, or getting more tired each day, because I do need to get up to accomplish things with my day. Last night I took myself in hand, and I made myself go to bed by 12 midnight. When I do that I get enough sleep and I can get up in the morning when I need to, and that is a better way to live anyway. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man/woman healthy, wealthy, and wise!

The trouble with being a night person is that most everyone else and everything else is geared to day hours. I just talked with someone the other night on facebook chat who told me that they have the same problem I do of getting their hours turned around. Well, the last several nights I have been going to be about midnight, and I am glad that I have because all of a sudden I have to get up at 5:00 a.m. to go give our daughter a ride early enough so that she can made her appointment in time. I will go to bed soon, but I decided not to try to go to bed too early, because when I do that I wake up some time in the middle of the night, wide awake, and then it is a while before I go back to sleep. I usually just get up and pretend it is day time hours until I get tired and sleepy again, and then I go back to bed. So it is about 11:00 p.m. and this seems to be a good time to go to bed since I have to get up early in the morning. Good night all, and have sweet dreams, and I am going to attempt to do the same!

Whenever something doesn't work correctly on the computer my solution is to save the pictures and documents, then I reformat the computer. One of my programs was not working correctly, so I reformatted the harddrive, after trying a number of other things including getting someone to help me. After reformatting the harddrive I found out that most everyone is having the same trouble I am, so it is not my computer, but the web page. They need a few more days to figure what their problem is, so now I have a very clean computer!

I started working on my computer just a little before bedtime, and I kept working on it all night long, so now I am a night person temporarily. But then I had to go somewhere this morning, so I had to get out of bed at 5:30 a.m., so now I guess I am a day person. When I redo the computer I usually do it during the night because we get into trouble if we use too much bandwidth, but bandwidth is free from 12 midnight until 6 a.m., so I try to do most of the downloading during those hours! When our granddaughter was here, she would try to use heavier internet, like movies, during those hours, but she often fell asleep and missed being able to do that because she was too tired.
