Day person or a night person?

I've realized over the past few weeks in more clearer detail than I've ever known.
I'm definitely a night person. My perfect sleep pattern is from around 3,4 or 5 am until 9, 10 or 11 am.
At work I either work 530 am until 2pm or 2pm until 10pm and I fucking can't even tell you how much I hate the mornings and love the night/evening shifts. We also do 530 pm until 530am and I don't mind doing those either from time to time.
Even if I get good sleep and have to wake up at 4am I still feel fucked. My body feels like I've just awaken from 2000 years sleep, crusty, creaky and pissed off. The 9am starts aren't even good enough for me, I need later.
On the later starts I go to the gym before work, go see girlfriends after work, the world is my oyster.
So what about you? I left the other option incase you just don't give a shit or there's another option I haven't thought about.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Two more years until I retire and then I get to officially recognize my inner night owl. Crash at 4 or 5 and get up at 9 or 10.

I wish I didn't have to sleep. I love mornings on my days off. I'm up by 6:30 AM and can't wait to vet started. I love nights, too. Afternoons I hate. That's when all I can think about is sleep.

I have trouble with sleep, but I will say I enjoy the couple hours before sunrise.

I like to sleep when it get's over 85. I'd sleep the summer away if I could.

I switched to night-shift work (11:00PM-9:00AM) few years ago. I always functioned better at night, and when I was working during the day - I'd still stay up most of the night doing other stuff, like playing with bands, or recording my music. That often resulted in sleep deprivation, high stress levels, physical exhaustion, depression, problems at work and limited social life.
Since I've been working nights I work on a regular schedule, with no double shifts, which allows me to sleep more regularly and feel much less stressed out. I work on my own, which is a huge benefit, since I'm not good at dealing with other people, especially when they're dumb. I also gave up making music for the time being (or at least that's what I've been telling myself, for quite a while), still have almost no social life and I'm still usually depressed - but you can't have everything, I suppose.

No idea, I like to stay up late, and do most of the time, but there have been periods where I'd wake up very early yet feel refreshed. Although unfortunately that usually never happens when I have to wake up early for school .-.
Anyway, I'd say I'm a night owl.

Old fart. In bed by 8 or 9 PM. Asleep no later than 10. However, awake before sunrise, typically between 4 and 5 AM. Usually because I have old man bladder. Get up, pee, wander around the house, veg for an hour, then out the door.
