You’re a terrible morning person and you know it when..

  

• When you get out of your duvet cocoon it feels like you’ve just been birthed into the world

• You have to wake up at 7 so you have alarms from 5.50 onwards.

• Early morning lectures, dentist appointments or meetings are the bane of your life and you would swap your left foot for a lie in. 

• Your brain takes till 11am to start to function. 

• You lay in bed ‘resting your eyes’ which usually turns into being late. .

• You either want all the foods in the world or you cannot imagine ever eating ever again on a morning. 

• Every time your alarm goes off you think ‘how can that be?! I just went to sleep!’ 

• You have had water splashed over you to wake you up. 

• Exam mornings are probably the only times you get out of bed on time because nobody wants to risk missing that. 

• Brunch just doesn’t exist in your world. However breakfast for lunch does. 

• Early morning bikram yoga?! NO. 

• You wish everybody would have a mute button before 10am. 

• Sometimes getting dressed on a morning seems like a really daunting task and you might even cry if you can’t find the right pair of shoes.

• You have gotten out of bed so late before that there was no point in changing out of pyjamas.

• You have missed important events like seeing Jupiter or solar eclipses because you were asleep.

• You have wondered about the pain and horror it will be when you have children and you have to wake up early every day.

• You kind of get this sickly feeling when you wake up early (e.g before 10).

• You don’t even wake up early for your birthday.

• You get reaally ratty when you are separated from your beloved bed and a good nights sleep.

• People that spring merrily out of bed confuse and bewilder you. 

• You have been known to create a duvet barricade against sounds or alarms. 

• The alarm noise might be a simple beep beep but to you it’s as loud and as terrifying as 50000 fire alarms going off in sync…every 10 minutes. 

• The dread you have when you stay at someone’s house and they are a morning person. 

• It might seem like your awake but actually your eyes have just opened and you’re not capable of speaking coherently. 

• You refer to 7am as ‘the middle of the night’.
