People with ADHD: are you a morning person or night owl?

Seems like a lot of ADHD people I know feel their best at night- they're night owls.

How about you?

If you have to be hyperactive to qualify for this poll, then just disregard my post. I'm one of the quiet, spacy ones.

I normally wake up 6-7-ish, mosey groggily through breakfast and getting ready for the day, am able to face the world (talk to humans) after 9 or so, hit high point around midday, slow down a bit later in the afternoon, lose the ability to talk coherently or process anything by 8-9 pm, and then I have to go to bed. Evening social engagements are painful.

So I guess that makes me NEITHER a morning lark OR a night owl. Well, I never did fit into any molds -- at least until I found out about ADD!!!

I think I'd fit that description as well - quiet and somewhat spacy. I'm not ADHD - just ADD and dyslexic. Early mornings are my time. As soon as it is light outside - I've got to get up. I go full steem untill about 2pm and then poop out for the rest of the day.

I'm ADHD & a night owl. Don't usually get tired till around 3-4am, up between 10am-12pm. I function better as the day progresses. So my work schedule (6pm-2am) fits my lifestyle perfectly.

I'm a complete night owl as well, though I don't have ADHD. I've always had 9-5 corporate jobs & its a real struggle to get up and be ready in the morning. I have to look for a field that allows a later work shift like that!
