We’ve all heard the words: “I’m not a morning person” spoken at some point in our lives. So what does this really mean? In most cases it means that this type wake up miserable and for the next hour or so treat anybody near them as if they’ve slandered their whole family! The bad news is that if you somehow manage to rub them the wrong way, then the whole day is shot to pieces and you’ll have to start again tomorrow. The worst kind of person to partner the aforementioned is a chirpy positive, ‘glad to be alive’ morning type-like me. Even after 23 years of marriage I can’t seem to do the ‘keep quiet’ thing; at the end of the day we are what we are.
Some people wake up in the morning and seem to just want peace and quiet and you cannot speak to them and if you do then you can expect a grim,mono-syllabic response. This type of person cannot function properly until consuming a good quantity of coffee and at least an hour has passed since waking. If you wake up with such a person you have to try to resist the need to witter on until your partner is able to respond in a civilised manner; this is much harder than it sounds!
Is this behaviour normal or does it imply some hitherto undiagnosed problem; after all its a new day, the opportunity to do things better or to make somebody smile; the ability to make our day negative or positive begins as soon as we step one foot out of bed. So for somebody like me who is annoyingly positive and happy first thing in the morning is it because I was born this way or is the way we are affected by external factors?

Sleep is important for our general well being and for proper healing and cell repair and regeneration. Your body is ruled by your body clock which utilizes ‘Circadian Patterns’ which in turn rule your world! These patterns are disrupted, for example, when travelling between time zones and are responsible for jet-lag. Genetics have been identified as being responsible for varying sleep disorders so it is also likely that not being a ‘morning person’ could have its roots in your genetic makeup. So the next time you wake up miserable just blame your parents and accept that this is just you and tough for everybody else!
