    At some point in the last 4 years, I spontaneously evolved from the 11am friend into the 6am friend. I have no explanation for this.

      I hate to tell you, but you’re getting old.

        Nope, I’m old and have evolved into an 11am friend. I keep hearing about how old people are out of bed at sparrow fart and get stuff done, but it’s never happened to me.

          It primarily depends on if you have kids and their sleeping schedule as well as your job schedule. I wake up early AF, but I don’t like it. I’m a natural night owl and hate super early mornings.

            I seem to prefer to stay up late, AND to wake up early. What do? I’m thinking if we slow planetary rotation by just a little bit, it would give everyone more time. Shirley, there would be no adverse consequences to the environment. 28 hour days? Who’s in?

          First, I’d like to sincerely thank you for the term “sparrow fart.”

          Second, I believe the same is happening to me. I used to leap out of bed as soon as morning light hit the room. Now I’m finding unrequested motivation to complete tasks at night, and groan at the sound of my alarm.

        Lol, probably. But I’m not ready to admit that, so I’m going to blame the dogs who expect to go outside no later than 6:30 every day 😆

      I effectively have been a morning person for years, but I still think my natural state is a night owl. Give me a vacation or even a long weekend and my sleeping schedule shifts to where it truly wants to be.

        Yeah, same. Though even after royally screwing up my sleep schedule, I still find myself up by 7 at the latest (even if I’m still tired).

        Having dogs who expect to go outside at certain times probably contributes to that. They can be very persuasive lol.

      Me too. It’s easier to just stay on a schedule rather than ruin Monday (and sometimes Tuesday) by changing when I sleep on the weekends. Plus, my dog is also on a schedule and starts looking for snuggles at about 6.

          I never recovered from 2.5 years of 5 and dimes. But give it enough time it might cycle around again

            I turned working 3rd shift into working at 6am and I have zero regrets. I can BE a night person, EASILY, but I love that my sleep is now sun-bound, mostly.

    Yeah, but can the 6am friends stay up all night browsing increasingly obscure websites, while reflecting on the poor state of the world and feeling helpless to change anything?

    I think not.

    I am the 12 pm friend who booked a separate hotel and said I had plans in the morning so I can’t meet them until 1 pm at the earliest.

    I am the friend who gets up with the 6 am friends, eats, and then goes back to sleep with the 11 am friends.

    I’m up at 6am because I haven’t gone to bed yet.

      13 years of 2nd shift have permanently made me the 1pm friend.

      I’m lucky if I wake up by 1pm, then I gotta shower and take the dog out, best I can do is an early dinner at 4:30pm.

    I’m the 3:30am friend. I’m tired by 11 am, I’m 7hrs into my shift. If you invite me to dinner at 7:30 that’s a no. How about 4:30?

    I used to be a 6am person. Nowadays I’m 8am.
