Wife hates it, up at 5:00 to 6:00 ready to go. Coffee is a misdemeanor, the more you miss the meaner you get.

Depends on the day, but I always need my coffee! I got to have coffee ! If we are out of coffee then I'm going back to bed.

I'm definitely an early riser as well. "Sleeping late" on the weekends means getting up at 7:30. Most weekends I'm up at 6:15 or so, weekdays it's before 6. I love the early morning, especially on weekdays. Most folks get to work at 8 or 9, I'm there at 6:30. NO traffic to screw with, quiet streets, get to watch the sunrise at the right times of year. Get in, check email then a four block walk to the hospital for breakfast. Good food, a cup of coffee then walk back along tree lined streets just as the day is starting. Spring means all the trees are covered with blossoms or new leaves, birds waking up and chirping, all life coming to wake after the long winter. In the winter it's cold but a nice brisk walk really wakes you up. In the hot summer you get to enjoy the cool time of the day. Great start to the day any time of year. "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise!". Yeah, right. At least I'm healthy... 
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Some people need to come with a warning label..."Anything you say before my first cup of coffee can get you killed...it's your call"
They are like that if someone hasn't taken the time to drop them on their arse, most people are only pricks if they can get away with it.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

When I was a teenager I was a bear to wake up in the morning. A snarly, grouchy, unhappy spring bear. As I grew up, I accepted the inevitablity of working for a living and the need to be on time and have good attendance.
These days, while I don't really care for getting up early, I don't mind it too much, either. During the week I make 3/4 of a pot of coffee and fill a travel mug and put the rest in a thermos. I usually don't even take a sip until I get to work, or about an hour or so after getting up. Coffee doesn't seem to make much difference on my attitude one way or another.
Weekend mornings are a little different. I don't wake up particularly early, but I do like it when I'm the first one up. The house is quiet for a bit until my son wakes up. That boy is up with the sun, which is how he earned the nickname Rooster. Weekend mornings with my kids are something I look forward to.

I'm a morning person. I wake up everyday excited to be me.
I am an unabated [bleep] between 9ish and 2ish. If I fall asleep on the couch, don't fuggin' wake me up. But you do still have my soul do you not? Don't loose it for sure or just give it back WTXJ!! Sorry to say I have been excommunicated! They, unfortunately, did not allow me to retain possession of any harvested souls. I believe you are screwed.

I can do mornings. Even in pain and feeling like crap I can still be nice to others. I'm a nice guy Scott but just questioned the fact I was sent to hospital, had to sign in get the wrist band for five mins of blood giving. Money grabbing by the local hospital is all I can figure. They charge like $1,200 for that little draw, insurance pays under $200 for the draw. I'm am instructed by the insurance co. to not pay any bill sent to me. Just was not a happy camper this morning. You certainly can choose not to get medical treatment if you wish. But, if you did CHOOSE to do so, why be a DB about it, regardless of the time?

My problem is I like Lab Corp for the blood work. So I guess I went in with a little chip on the shoulder as to the location of the blood draw. Plus no wake up coffee. All is good Nearly got fired as a camp cook. Got my soul back from the PNW. Finally ate some food.

Mornings are love/hate.
Love the low-light and peace and critters rising.
Equally love the peace that comes with being barely awake, and not having to get up quiiiiiiite yet.
But hate dealing with morons first thing on waking, intruding on the above.
Golldammed motion detector lights. A guy can’t even piss off his porch in peace any more.

I am a morning person, but what pizzes me off is the rest of our town is not, the hardware store doesn't open till 8:00, the breakfast serving restaurant doesn't open till 7:00, and the county and city office don't open till 9:00 or 9:30. And forget Fridays around here seems like everyone takes a 3 day weekend when ever they feel like it

One little vile of blood to give. No coffee, no nothing. I'm not a morning person, never have been. I was not nice to the hospital personal. Had to become a patient just to give that blood. Pissed me off. I do have coffee and drinking it right now, so I'm human again. Any of you guys morning people? Wake up easy, in a good mood?  I wake easy but I'm not a morning person.

Well I do wake up. 5 am this morning. Just takes coffee time for me to be nice. I'm retired, so just like to drink the coffee and read paper before I move out of my chair.

I am a morning person and the wife is not lol. We have still managed to stay married almost 44 years. Of course I am very very careful not to set the Italian off by being too much of a morning person until her caffeine level is at optimum level lol. Even though I am retired I still wakeup between 5 and 6 ever morning.

You could say that. Usually up by 4 when offshore, 8 at home. Just takes coffee to start to feel normal.

Bet I get fired as morning cook for the next get together. Why? Are you about to reveal that you spit in the eggs? miles What is the saying--mad hatter---I'm late, I'm late. I should of had the meal ready early. That simple. I have a customer with a vanity tag "ML8 ML8"
