Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I am SUCH a morning person.  I've always regretted that a little because it's not very cool or romantic, but it's undeniable.  It's useful, though, since getting up in the morning is a requisite for all the jobs I've ever had and apparently for raising a child as well.  And I like mornings.  On work days, I try to get up as early as possible in order to have time to read before work.  That time is really precious to me because it's the only time that my head feels . ..  free.  Not too tired, not yet burdened by the cares of the day.  And reading is usually just a jumping off point to my thoughts.  Really, having the time to let my thoughts wander freely is incredibly valuable, and if I don't get up early in the mornings, I don't have it. At work, there is too much stimulation.  At home with Anthony, the same.  At night, I'm tired, I want to drug myself out with tv or a novel or something.  It's hard to justify this somehow, because it's not like I'm puzzling out solutions to war and famine.  And I'm not meditating for spiritual enlightenment.  I'm just being myself, in my head, wandering from one idea to another.  It has no purpose.  But it seems necessary to my sense of well-being.  Do you know what I mean?
