Night owl. Not so much by choice. It tends to be a result of depression. I'm the most active and productive in the morning when I do manage to get up.

total night owl here too, probably got it from my dad, mt older brother is like this too. i never wondered if it was a trans thing...but anyone can tell I'm up all night here, all my posts are from 9pm to 4am. i think almost every time i don't get here til 11 or midnight though. it's to bed 3 or 4 am than if i had it my way wouldn't get up til 3 or 4pm but there's this job thing in the afternoons so that results in 3 or 4 hours of sleep in the mornings sometimes on work days. even if i know i have to get up at 8 or 9am I'm still wide awake at 3 am ugh.

Night Owl. Back in college I regularly stayed up until 5am. There were actually a couple weeks there when I was studying for finals were I never even saw the sun. Now I usually go to bed about 1 or 2 most nights.

I would say night owl because I usually end up going to bed pretty late, thus resulting in humungous bags under my eyes the next morning.

Carpe Noctem! 

It drove my mom crazy growing up, but I have alway been a night person.  I sleep better during the day and am most productive between 3 and 5am.  Based on a lot of reading, I have informally self-diagnosed myself with Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.   It all fits.   Though lately since I've started HRT I have found my circadian rhythms shifting... :o, so <shrugs>   ???
When I die, they will put me in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breath, or laugh, or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment.  -- Anonymous

Both, generally.
I tend to get outside at around 5:20, or whenever the sun comes out so I can exercise a bit.
But I sleep usually during the afternoon, wake up late at night, and then stay up until the next afternoon.

I'm currently trying to fix this... XD

Night owl. Always have been. I don't usually go to bed until about 8am. But, when I'm on vacation, I go to be about midnight-2am and get up promptly at 9am, weird.

it totally depends, usually on the weather. if it's sunny i get so tired i just wanna sleep the whole day away and not get up until the sun goes down. that glowing thing on the sky gives me headaches, burns my eyes, makes me all the more sure that i must have vampire blood in me. even my skin reacts to its rays

but if it's cloudy or mid winter, i'll get up early in the morning in a very good mood

I am a night owl but the working world likes to try and wear me down. That just means I take cat naps when I can.

Being nocturnal simply didn't work for me, I guess.  I'm jealous of all you night owls who make it work.   ::) 

After converting to a crepuscular schedule, my depression eased its grip on me a bit.  I need vitamin D from sunlight (in small doses because I burn extra-crispy), I get severely depressed when I don't have enough 'dawn' hours and too many 'dusk' hours.  Which sums up how this week has been.  *sigh*

I was a night owl in college, usually from procrastination.  I'd stay up until 5-6 am doing labs on a weekly basis, sleeping around 3 am otherwise.

Now that I have a steady job I'm forced into an in-between or early bird.  I go to sleep between 11-12 then wake up around 7.  On the weekends I push that back up to an hour or two.

i'm a night owl. my bed time ranges between 2 AM and 4 AM. if i'm having a bad anxiety day, i could be up as late or early i should say as 5AM or 6AM. for some reason, i have a sense of calmness and more happiness during night.
