wispfoxI never fail to find it fascinating that, even though most of my life (childhood and teen years, at least), I was a morning person, the fact that the vast majority of my social circle, and all the people I've ever dated, are evening/night people, has modified that.
This means that I'm no longer entirely a morning person, even though I do still tend to get up much earlier in the summer when there's light than in the winter when there isn't. But then, in the summer, I need less sleep, there's less dark (and, therefore, sleepy) time, and I can get away with it.
Otherwise, I'd never _see_ the people whose company I enjoy, because our schedules wouldn't coincide even when I have the social energy for interaction. At least, not for very long. Even as it is, I'm frequently up earlier (and in bed earlier, although less so in the summer) than other people I've tended to share living space with (and I'm not even up as early as I used to be!). Might be why I'm generally self-entertainable, actually.
