Morning or Night Person?

I have always liked the idea of rising early in the morning, doing some reading, having some coffee, some alone time, maybe even knit for a while, and just time to reflect on the day. Reality - I like my sleep.  And when it's cold out, I love sleeping in with my down comforter.  There is nothing more comfortable!  As much as I want to leap out of bed, I stay there and embrace the warmth as long as I can.  More reality - my husband is usually up at 5:00, so there is no "alone" time.  He goes to bed much earlier than me. My alone time seems to be at night these days.  So while I'm getting a lot of knitting done, and enjoying some "me" time, it seems to be happening at night. 

This lead me to think about that "are you a morning or a night person"?  Are you more efficient first thing in the morning, or are you a night owl?  I guess I am both.  In the winter when the days are shorter, I stay awake longer and rise later.  However when the spring arrives, I find myself up early and on my back deck enjoying the view and knitting or reading.  I feel like a slacker for not rising early in the morning these days for some reason.   So are you a morning or a night person? 

While digging through the stash this weekend to find some yarn for the Elowen Shawl I found a sock I had started at least a year ago.  I had gotten the yarn at one of the fiber festivals (do you know that festival season begins in about 8 weeks?  How exciting is that?) and fell in love with the colors.  I'm thinking I had put it aside due to the size 1 needles and the dark yarn (well, at least some portion of the yarn is dark).

It's Zauerball Crazy in color 1511.  It's a good thing I'm on a sock yarn stash busting expedition or I know I would be ordering more.  Maybe I'll just take a peek and see if they have any new colors...
