I'm once again wide awake at 1 am (can't remember the last time I was asleep before 2), and was wondering if there is any particularly noticeable trend in the trans community for diurnality or nocturnality, or, indeed, if anyone is crepuscular (most active during twilight).

This is mainly just the curiosity of a bored nocturnal mind, though it would be interesting to see if there actually is a trend of some sort amongst ourselves here.

Hoot hoot,

Naturally nocturnal. Always have been due to photosensitivity and dislike of sunlight. Although, since I have to work during the day... that often means I get very little sleep.

I prefer the night but that's partially because no matter what time it is when I wake up, it's always like waking up from a 2 hour sleep... again and again and again...
So I hate mornings.. I crawl out of bed like some grumpy old monstrosity, and then two hours (and copious amounts of coffee) later, I can start looking something like a Human Being.. :P

I'm an early bird. I usually get up at 6 AM. My mind is buzzing and all my good ideas come at this time.
By nighttime, my brain has slowed down. A bit of reading in bed, then sleep.

IDK that's a tough one for me. I'm definitely a morning person, mostly, but I'm also a night person ... which leaves the rest of the day with me doing a very good zombie impersonation - midmorning to late afternoon is horrible, and I'd love nothing so much as to be sleeping then.

I heard about this guy who split his day up by sleeping 4 hours, doing 8 hours, then another 4 hours - he worked as a freelance programmer, so he could, and he says it was the best change he ever made in his life. I'd love to try that.

Early bird and plenty of coffee.  By 8:00 P.M. my brain hurts and I need to sleep!  :P

I usually wake somewhere between two and four in the morning. It's the most peaceful time of the day. I can shave my legs, do my nails,etc.

Both usually, have a siesta during the afternoon. Can't remember when I last slept before midnight.

Definitely both. I'm an insomniac AND I start work early. I have years of sleep to catch up on, and even with all the waking hours I still never get everything done.

I tend to go in cycles of sorts with bouts of insomnia in between. But mostly night owl. Virginia could appear or disappear at just about any time  :laugh:

 :o I tend to be a bit of both, I have to because I drive over the road so the days and nights turn to one... I have done this for twelve years so my internal clock is really srewed up, I think that the gender issues dont come into play in the matter but the depression does have a bit to do with it, at least that is what my old doctor said then he prescribed prozac ( always some pill for some thing) I dont like taking pills unless I have to I try to keep my system as clean as I can ( other than my bad habbit of smoking) I know I will have to quit at some point but it helps in some way to make it through the day. sorry back to topic...

we tend to over analize things now dont we ( humans in general ) we think that because we do certain things that means one thing I try not to over analize things for this fact I try to keep it simple what it is is what it is ..... I cant sleep then that means I cant sleep its just the way it is ..... Right or wrong thats how I see it.. :icon_confused2:

Night owl.  Always have been for as long as remember.   Going to bed to early screws me up.
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?
