Do you find yourself running out of the door to work, without having breakfast because you just can't get up early enough, or do you manage to get out of bed as soon as your alarm goes off?

Are you struggling to get back into a routine after the festive break? If you're like many of us - and not a morning person - then you'll be able to relate to these things!

How many of these can you relate to?

1. Seeing the sunrise

Morning person... Wow this is beautiful
Not a morning person... Oh my! My eyes are actually melting. Close the curtains!

2. Alarm clock

Morning person... I only need one alarm.
Not a morning person... I need to snooze for a really long time.

3. Pets and/or children waking you up

Morning person... Ahh everyone is together.
Not a morning person... No it's too early, give me my duvet back!

4. Freshly cut grass

Morning person... I love the smell of freshly cut grass.
Not a morning person... ARGH it's 7am, why are you cutting the grass and making so much noise?!?

5. Watching breakfast cookery shows

Morning person... Ooh I'm going to give that a try.
Not a morning person... You mean they actually have people making breakfast and reading newspapers on TV?

6. Eating breakfast

Morning person... The most important meal of the day.
Not a morning person... Unless you've made me a fry up and intend to bring it to me in bed then breakfast starts at noon.

7. Traffic

Morning person... There's no traffic, I can get to town really easily and get stuff done.
Not a morning person... Why is everyone on the road! It's 2pm shouldn't they all be at home?

8. Exercise

Morning person... I love to get in my early morning run.
Not a morning person... I got up to find the remote control, that's my fix for the morning.

9. The quiet

Morning person... Oh this is lovely.
Not a morning person... It's too quiet. Something is wrong...

10. The length of your day

Morning person... I've really filled my day, time for bed.
Not a morning person... Where has my day gone? Best stay up until midnight.
