Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Would you describe yourself as:

  1. early bird
  2. night owl
  3. both
  4. neither

I'm curious to learn if there is a theme - or not - among autistic people.

  • Very much a night owl when I am off work. I hate getting up early for work. On the times when I have worken up early not for work so it hasn't been a chore, I have always enjoyed being up early as it's not a part of the day i usually see! The best bit, when I was younger, was being up so late, it would be coming light again. I absolutely LOVED it. I have been wondering recently about larks vs night owls...consdiering that being a night owl suits me because if I were to be out and about at a more natural time, (ie not being out during peak hours), it'd be quieter and would suit my temperament more.

    I have often wondered about the evolutionary aspect of larks / night owls from the "olden days"...how it relates to when we would go looking for food / a mate (are night owls more promiscuous?). Shared together in a community or wider family, larks and night owls can collectively take different roles at differnet times of the day (instead of being isolated in nuclear families like we mostly are now where we have to cram ways of living in which are not naturally suited to us).
