Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Mantra

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.

  • Definitely both! And it can be very very tiring...

    Stay up late while all the complexities of the day have been finally rationalized

    Get up early before any of the day's complications have arisen (and before anyone else is around to complicate things)

    Totally nocturnal has been tried many times but society (and biology) says no....

    I think I can relate to this a lot - avoiding complications in the early morning and waiting for my brain to settle at night.

    Wish I didn't need as much time in bed to feel rested else I'd definitely burn the candle at both ends like I used to. (Yep, also found biology & society didn't exactly want me to do this!)
