General Discussion Thread 04.10.2025​

Howdy, GrayViners! I (Ally) am back to greet you with a warm “good morning” alongside the sun! These days I’m starting to appreciate the calmness of the dawn, especially when I wake up before sunrise. Now, I’m curious: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Let’s get to know one another in the comments!

Or, if you have something else you'd like to share—whether it’s a cool fact you just learned, a funny story, or something that’s been bothering you—feel free to comment them down, too! This General Discussion Thread is created just for you, so feel free to engage with your fellow members!

Now, what's on YOUR mind today?

Night owl

 

[jbmitch1963]

I have to get up at 3 a.m. to go to work. I would rather be able to stay up late and get up at 7 or 8 a.m.

 

[Barnesie]

Definitely an early bird!

 

[Larpeg]

Sometimes an early bird, like this morning, I've been up since around 4:30. Then sometimes a night owl, especially if I'm reading a really good book.

I used to be a night owl, but in the past 6 months, I have become an early riser. Used to go to bed around 2:00 am, but now I am in bed at 9:30 or 10:00, and I read until 10:30 or 11:00 and get up at sunrise, around 7:30 am. Like it much better!!

Early bird

 

[GreyPat]

I am both--I am not at my best between 10 AM and 4 PM.

 

[Laura580]

When I worked, I had to be a morning person. Now that I’m retired, I rarely go to bed before midnight.

 

[maizex]

always an early bird

 

[Lindy11825]

The days I work I go to bed early. I don’t have to get up real early for my job. But the days I’m off I like to stay up later than my normal days. I enjoy it. It’s peaceful.

 

[Arkie98]

I always worked the grave yard shift. Retired but never go to bed until midnight to 0200 and always up at 0530. Occasionaly never go to bed and no naps.

 

[Butterflies]

I’m an early bird

 

[Jmarean17]

I'm an early bird. Love watching a sunrise as well as a sunset especially after a long dark winter.

 

[Shirley@36]

Hi I wake up around 6:00 AM every morning.

Early bird

 

[NIBOR0]

I used to consider myself an early bird but since I retired, I go to bed at 9:30 p.m. and wake up between 9 and 10 a.m. Don't know how I went without 10-12 hours of sleep.
