Do you know the time of day you were born?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

And does that time reflect the kind of person you are today?

That is, if you were born at night, are you now a night owl?

Or, if you were born in the daytime, are you daylight oriented, or a morning lark?


I was born at 2:07 a.m. and I am a night owl!


:woohoo: :woohoo:

[boilerbabe]

1. I was born at 0401(am)

Am a night owl for sure! I used to feel pretty weird between the hours of 2-5am, now I work shiftwork,so I can legitimately stay up at all hours!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear boilerbabe!

So it does correlate for you!

Thanks...

Glad you can work the hours you want!

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

2. 6:30 am.

All that reflects is that scheduled c sections start early in the AM. I detest mornings.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear LeftyMom...

Obviously, in cases like yours, the natural flow of things was messed with...

I like mornings, as long as I can spend them in bed! :P

[SeattleGirl]

4. 10:10 pm

And yep, I'm a nightowl too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear SeattleGirl!

Yup, you are a certified night owl!

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Either that, or certifiable!

:rofl:

:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Lol!

Nah...you're not any crazier than I am...:crazy:

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Tis why we get along so well, my dear California Peggy!

:silly:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I'm sure that's a big part of it, sweetie...

:hug:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

32. ME TOO!

10:10 pm, but it was Mountain time zone. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Vive_La_Revolution!

Yup, the correlation continues to hold!

Thanks for stopping by... :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

8. I was born at 4ish AM...

Night Owl here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear KitchenWitch!

Yup, another Night Owl, for sure!

The correlation is holding up pretty well, so far!

:hug:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

11. I was born at 5:12 p.m. Central Daylight Time

And I'm also a night owl.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear DeposeTheBoyKing!

Hmm...interesting!

That's not exactly mid-day...but end of day, I think...

Tending towards the night time hours...

Glad to have you aboard, fellow night owl!

:hug:

[orleans]

122. same here--i was born around five a.m. (don't remember exactly) (haha) n/t

[HamstersFromHell]

13. 3:30am for me

and definitely a night owl...which causes me no end of lack of sleep seeing as I've worked "normal folk's hours" for the last 20+ years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear HamstersFromHell!

You definitely fit the profile!

It's tough when you have to conform to "normal folk's hours!"

Hope you can retire soon...:hug:

[HamstersFromHell]

19. oh to be able to retire soon...

I have a ways to go to hit that (or hit the lottery first)

I do so miss my last 2nd shift job...it worked so well for my sleeping patterns.

Get up at my leisure (no alarm clocks!) around 1pm, plenty of time to get things done before work at 3:30.

Off at midnight, still 2 ~ 2.5 hours before last call if we wanted to go out after work.

Usually used sunrise as "it's bedtime".

And being an online computer geek since the early 80's (way back when CI$ was $6.00/hr. to chat) a lot of us have known for ages the best folks online were the all nighters!

:hug:

[Forkboy]

16. I can't remember as I was pretty young at the time.

:P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Forkboy!

Oh, yeah......Right!

C'mon, didn't you ever ask your mom or someone close to you?

:P

[Forkboy]

29. It was early in the morning, that's all I know.

I don't know if there's any correlation to my lifestyle. I usually only sleep a few hours a day, and those hours may be in the morning, the afternoon, or evening. I'm almost always up late though, and I've been a night owl since I was little and would wait until my parents went to bed and then I'd get back up, usually to read comics or watch the Tonight Show and Tom Snyder. I don't seem to get tired unless I'm sick, though since I had my thyroid taken out last year I do have a lot less energy. x(

Being manic and bipolar helps too! :)

[AggieGal]

20. About 11am.

Still do not like getting up early in the morning.

I was born on a weekday and my Dad did not go to work that day. At the end of the week, he asked his boss what he should put down for that day. The guy said to put down what he wanted. So my Dad said he was picking up a delivery that day. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear AggieGal!

Sounds about right...

Late morning birth, late morning to rise!

I love what your dad put down!

Special delivery, huh?

:hug:

[HamstersFromHell]

25. I can't see where it'd be a lie!

:)

[madinmaryland]

21. 12:31am

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear madinmaryland!

And are you a night owl?

If you are, then my correlation continues to work!

:hi:

[Capn Sunshine]

23. I never thought about it like that, but yeah

I was born 12:08 am.
Night owl. Whoooooooooooo

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear Capn Sunshine!

Well, this thought occurred to me as I was contemplating my own proclivities and my birth time...

And then I got curious...

You see the results!

:hi:

[UrbScotty]

27. 11:37 AM

But definitely a night owl!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear ih8thegop!

Uh-oh!

TILT

The first to not fit the correlation...:yoiks:

Of course, there's always going to be those unique individuals who walk their own path...

And you are one of them, sweetie...:hug:

[WCGreen]

28. Around 2:00 in the morning....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear WCGreen!

And I know you're a night owl, one of the original Nighthawks, in fact!

The correlation holds...

:hi:

[MonkeyFunk]

34. No

I seem to have lost my wristwatch in all the confusion.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear MonkeyFunk!

What a shame!

Well, I'm sure it was a turbulent time, getting born and all that...

:P

[MonkeyFunk]

36. more confusing than you can imagine

the doctor was all done, told my mom she had a lovely baby girl and was washing up when my mother had to call him back and tell him "Doc - I think there's another one"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. So you're a twin!

That's very cool!

I can't believe the doctor missed that!

Good thing your mom was awake and alert...

:yoiks:

[MonkeyFunk]

38. yeah!

I could still be in there!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Um....not likely, lol!

:rofl:

:crazy:

[JTG of the PRB]

40. I was born at 10:25pm.

For the most part, I'm a night owl. I like to start my work days earlier, but only so I can get to my relaxation/off times sooner. During the weeks I'm not much of a night owl, but as you can see by when I'm posting her, on Fridays and Saturdays all the rules fly out the window!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear jtg33!

Well, your data seem pretty consistent with my theory so far!

When I was working, I had to get up early too...it made me crazy!

Glad you can play on the weekends!

:hi:

[littlebit]

42. Mom was in labor for 18 hours

Had me at 7:23pm. I rarely go to bed before 5am. If I go to bed at all. I have been up since 10am thursday morning.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear littlebit!

Another night owl!

But don't you get tired?

That doesn't sound like adequate sleep to me...:hug:

[littlebit]

44. I stay tired

I just have a really hard time going to sleep. I have been this way for years.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

45. Interesting theory Peggy

I was born at 5:56AM and I am very definitely a night owl:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

69. My dear socialdemocrat!

Ah, born in the early morn, and yet are a night owl!

Very cool!

:hi:

[Bullwinkle925]

46. 7:44 AM on a Sunday . . .

don't know what that says about me.

:shrug:

[China_cat]

47. 6:15 am and I don't fully wake up until the sun goes down.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

71. My dear China_Cat!

You sound like me!

:hi:

[Skittles]

121. me too, China_cat

people constantly tell me I look tired - I tell them check me out at 02:00 in the morning - I LOOK GREAT THEN!!!

[ashling]

48. What were you doing up so early?

:rofl:

I was born at 7:05 PM the day after Labor Day

[CaliforniaPeggy]

72. My dear ashling!

What was I doing?

Getting my head start on being a night owl, silly!

I'll bet your mom was in labor on Labor Day!

:hi:

[VOX]

49. 11:59 PM Friday, the best night of the week, with the best day still ahead...

Leave it to me to make an appearance when the work week is finished. And yes, I'm a lifelong night owl.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. My dear KrazyKat!

Ah, you figured it out early!

Good one, sweetie!

:hi:

[datasuspect]

50. 8:24 a.m.

it was a cold and grey chicago morn, when a poor little baby child was born

in the ghetto.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

74. My dear datasuspect...

:hug:

[sarge43]

51. According to my birth certificate, 12.23am

and, yes, definitely a night owl.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

75. My dear sarge43!

Another one for the positive correlation!

Thanks...

:hi:

[sarge43]

105. There does seem to be a pattern. n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

52. 2:13 PM, on the 13th of the month (yes, it was a Friday).

If only I had been born at 1:13 PM (13:13)....

:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

76. My dear WIMR!

Ah, a Friday the 13th child!

Very cool!

:evilgrin:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

98. Yeah, I'm 13'd out.

I graduate 4 years of college in 2013, too.

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

53. Yep! 3:21 p.m.

I think it's a great time, because it sounds like a countdown!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. My dear Lara!

It does!

And I'm sure your mom was...

:hi:

[fight4my3sons]

54. around 6 am and I am definitely a night owl

My kids were all born at night (first son at 12:36 am and the twins at 8:41 and 8:42 pm) and they are definitely morning larks :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

78. My dear fight4my3sons!

Wow, what a spread in times...

And the contrast between those times, and whether they are night owls or morning larks!

Thanks!

:hi:

[bikebloke]

55. 4:10 am

But I'm a day lighter.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

79. My dear bike bloke!

I'm beginning to suspect that there's either no, or little correlation between birth time and day/night orientation!

Thanks for playing!

:hi:

[Lyric]

56. I was born 6/26/1979 at 10:50 am

Is there a more boring time to be born than 10:50 am? :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

81. My dear oktoberain!

That's not a boring time!

Because it has you to enliven it...

:hug:

[Justpat]

57. No, but how can I find out?

I have wanted to get a good astrology reading for many years and it seems that time
of birth is a big factor in the accuracy of the reading.

The logical answer would be to ask my mother. I have done that and received the
following reply: "It was dark."

Well, that really narrows it down. So I was born either in early morning or late
at night. That is a big help, Mom. She says she doesn't remember at all. Maybe
I was really adopted? :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. My dear Old Broad...

I would check my birth certificate...

It should say on there...

Funny that your mom can't remember...

Unless you were one of many...

:hug:

[BlueIris]

58. But of course. 7 p.m.ish. Night owl, ALL THE WAY.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. My dear BlueIris!

Indeed, you are a night owl!

:hi:

[dropkickpa]

59. 10:05am

Total night owl!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

84. My dear dropkickpa!

Born in the morning...

Stays up at night!

Cool!

:hi:

[CreekDog]

60. 7:41 pm but what I am varies

sometimes a night owl, but sometimes the opposite. the other strange thing is that once awake i'm never sleepy in the morning, only in the afternoon and evening. i need afternoon coffee as opposed to morning coffee.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

85. My dear CreekDog...

Interesting how we operate, isn't it?

Hey, it works!

:hi:

[Lavender Brown]

61. I was born at 9 in the morning but I'm a night person

[CaliforniaPeggy]

86. My dear Lavender Brown!

Hey, sweetie...whatever works!

:hi:

[Rhythm]

62. 7:21pm on a Friday...

Yep... that's me...
Wake me up in time for the weekend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

87. My dear ThinkBlue1966!

Perfect!

You had your priorities straight, right from the start!

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

63. I think between 2:45-3:45 pm.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

88. My dear BarenakedLady!

A mid-afternoon gal...

Very cool!

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

64. Me - 7:50am, my twin sister at 8:00 am

Lelapin 5:14pm

Doesn't really relate to our sleeping habits.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

89. My dear lizzie!

Yup, you're right!

I know you and Lelapin are night owls...

Hope you're doing OK, sweetie...:hug:

[terrya]

65. I do. 6AM.

I'm a morning lark. I get up, with no problem, at 4:30AM.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

90. My dear terrya!

Ah, a morning lark!

Lucky you...

I can do it, but it's painful!

:hi:

[terrya]

110. It's quite easy, actually.

But I do find myself going to bed around 8:30PM weeknights. :-)

[Zavulon]

66. 7:54 p.m.

Right towards the end of a Twilight Zone episode, my father likes to joke.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

91. My dear Zavulon...

Very appropriate!

:hi:

[Bullwinkle925]

67. Jeebus . . .

I was actually born at 4:44 AM - NOT 7:44 AM . . But - it WAS on a Sunday.

that's what I get for getting up in the middle of the night and actually thinking I know *of what I do* at that unGodly hour.

sheesh

[CaliforniaPeggy]

93. My dear Bullwinkle925!

Ah, I spotted your response here before I started writing today...

It's easy to think you know what you're doing when you're sleepy!

Another night owl!

:hi:

[unsavedtrash]

68. 3:59 pm

definitely not a morning person.
Mom tells me that she went into labor at 6am but I didn't show until much later in the day.
She was irritated that she couldn't smoke all day.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

94. My dear unsavedtrash...

Babies often take longer than we'd like...

I know my first one took 24 hours before appearing!

I'm sorry your mom was irritated with how your labor progressed, sweetie...

As if it were your fault...:hug:

[Aristus]

70. 9:17am.

Yep, I'm a morning person...















Aristus: Steroid-free since 1968! B-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

95. My dear Aristus!

Ah, a rare morning lark!


What's this all about? Steroid-free?


:hi:

[Aristus]

99. Oh, it's just a silly thing; Air America uses that slogan to advertise the

Stephanie Miller Show. "The Stephanie Miller Show; steroid free since 2004!"

You know, kid's stuff, but it's fun.

[Fire Walk With Me]

80. Yes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

96. My dear Peake!

OK......


And?


Silly!


:hi:

[billyskank]

92. I was born around half past Saturday.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

97. My dear billy!

Half past Saturday?

I need a translation, sweetie!

Nice to see you today!

:hug:

[RadiationTherapy]

100. 6:22am 10/31/1974

I am a scorpio rising and I am a very early riser.

I was also born on a halloween full moon, so I am a demon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

101. My dear RadiationTherapy!

Ooooh........I'm scared! Lol...

Very cool...

Thanks!

:hi:

[RadiationTherapy]

103. Hey Ms. Peggy!

I am weird, but loving. And hairy.

No spooky pictures, just my lovely sweetie.

[grannylib]

102. I was born at 6:14 pm, right between day and night...and I used to be

a TOTAL night owl. My body clock would kick into high gear about 10:30 - 11:00 every night. As I get older, however, that has changed drastically. I can seldom sleep past 6:00 - 6:30 am, and I'm normally nodding off in front of the TV as early as 9:00 most nights *lol*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

104. My dear grannylib!

Now, how about that?

Funny how we evolve...

Thanks for playing!

:hi:

[fizzgig]

106. i haven't the foggiest idea

i want to say it was around 6 a.m., but i'd have to ask my mother :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

111. My dear kagehime!

My mom always told me the story of my birth...

It was interesting, since I arrived a month ahead of my due date!

I just knew I didn't want to be born on Christmas!

Ask your mom to tell you your story, sweetie...

:hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

107. 1:29 P.M., but I'm a total night owl.

:shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

112. My dear Starbucks Anarchist!

It doesn't always seem to correlate!

:hug:

[fishwax]

108. I was born around 10:30 p.m.--which is pretty close to dinnertime for me

so, yeah, I'm a night owl :woohoo:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

114. My dear fishwax!

OK!

The correlation holds for you!

:woohoo:

[Cabcere]

109. 5:35 PM

and yeah, I'd say I'm more of an evening person. :shrug: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

115. My dear Cabcere!

Ah, the swing shift person!

Cool...

:hi:

[Critters2]

113. Noon, straight up. And they don't come night owlier!!

So, I think I've destroyed your theory, Cal Peggy. Sorry.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

116. My dear mycritters2!

Nah, you didn't destroy it, sweetie!

There are more than a few here who don't fit my idea!

It's cool!

:hug:

[Lorien]

117. I think I was born around 11:15pm on March 30th

so I still have over 20 hours before I turn 43! (Hey, I'll take what I can get). ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

118. My dear Lorien!

All right!

Happy Birthday, early!

43?

Ah, I remember being that age...

And now my oldest daughter is just behind you...She'll be 42 this fall...

You sound like a night owl to me, sweetie...:hug:

[Lorien]

119. Always have been and always will be!

Do we have a choice? I remember DRAGGING myself out of bed at 6am as a kid to go to school and never feeling "awake" until around 11am or so. Now I'm self employed and usually work until 3am. I live on the East coast- but most of my clients are on the West coast, thank goodness!

:hi:

[Skittles]

120. 1:30 on a Friday afternoon!

yes INDEED! Well I always sleep past 1:30 so I guess so!
Hey Peggy, my birthday was yesterday! I donated platelets, then went to work all night!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

126. My dear Skittles!

Hey...Happy Birthday, yes INDEED!

Hope you had a great day, sweetie!

Sounds like you did...

Thanks!

:party: :toast: :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :toast: :party:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

123. What a fascinating theory!

CalPeggy, you are a creative thinker!

I was born at 4:15 in the afternoon. I am most definitely NOT a morning person. Never have been. I'm very good at sleeping -- 8 hours is just not enough for me to be really functional.

I think we should start a movement to counteract the idea that morning people get more done!! It seems like lots of people think night owls are lazy. That's not true, we just do our thing at different hours.

Besides, just because the sun comes up does not mean WE have to get up. Isn't that why God invented Thomas Edison or something?

Stay up late, sleep late -- go for it if your situation permits!!

:yourock: :bounce: :hug: :pals: :toast: :grouphug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

127. My dear Perragrande!

Aw, thanks, sweetie...

I don't know how creative I am...

My mind likes to think up crazy stuff like this...

And actually, it looks as though there isn't any positive correlation...

But my sample is too small...

We sure don't have to get up with the sun! Thank God for T. Edison!

:hug:

[Pacifist Patriot]

124. I was born at 5:14 p.m. Is that why I like cocktail hour so much?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

129. My dear Pacifist Patriot!

I'm betting it is, sweetie!

:toast:

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

125. 11:26 am ET

That's about when I like to wake up, too. Not a morning person.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

130. My dear ordinaryaveragegirl!

You and me both!

Mornings are for sleeping!

:hi:

[Inchworm]

128. Mom always said it was at night, but not last night

gawd.. I can't find my birth certificate :crazy:

Seems like it was early morning.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

131. My dear Inchworm!

Well, I know it wasn't last night!

Silly!:silly:

Good to see you!

:hug:

[cordelia]

132. 1:13 PM

Which is about what time I would like to arise every day.

I am not a morning person at all; there is nothing so loathsome to me than an alarm clock.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

134. My dear cordelia...

I hear that!

No more alarm clocks!

They should be banned!



:hi:

[otherlander]

133. At night.

When I was a little kid and heard this for the first time, I somehow got it into my head that all babies were born at night.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

135. My dear otherlander...

I think this is a commonly held viewpoint!

You are not alone...

:hi:
