Awesome. Just.. Awesome. I hate morning people.  I use my snooze button more than my toothbrush.

“I hate you, social networking-capable morning person. You are the worst part of waking up. You are the Anti-Folgers.”

YES.  A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

I always fall asleep at midnight and wake up at 6 A.M., feeling quite fresh.
Feel free to hate me.  

I’m a morning person, and it actually does feel unnatural.

As someone who used to wake up early in the morning to work out and THEN eat Greek Yogurt, I can assure you that the only satisfaction in this ascetic routine was the off-chance that I might be able to slip something like this into conversation: 

“Oh man…I’m so tired right now, and it’s only – what? –  5:00!? Man, I guess that’s what happens when you wake up at 6:00!” “What’s that? Why did I wake up at 6:00? Oh…because I worked out BEFORE work. I know! it’s crazy! I had some Greek yogurt afterwords. It’s really good, you should try it!” Smugly walk away, fall asleep at desk…

Lame.
Waking up early to go to work, or do something important, yeah.
But not being interested in or being able to understand the concept of wanting to wake up early to go for a jog before work has nothing to do with self-discipline.

Why does everyone think that being a morning person is better?

Everyone’s status on Facebook is annoying. There are plenty of people who like to brag about how little sleep they got, and how tired and miserable they are all the time. It’s just one big masochistic contest. How refreshing! The negative assholes are worse than the positive assholes. But in general, it’s just a good idea not to brag about anything you do— be it getting up early or getting a certain grade, or getting so drunk you don’t remember anything— because no one cares, and you’re just trying to prove something to yourself.

I only eat proper breakfasts in the morning when I’m still drunk from the night before.

yeah, I am officially a chelsea fagan fan. you never fail to crack me up

Former morning person – I felt like a freak for every day I was up before the sun.

This is some serious type A cock-a-doodle-doo shit.

I get up super early by no choice of my own.  After drinking, weekends, whatever. 6-6:15am every day. I feel punished.

For the last 3 or 4 years I have been attempting to morph myself into a morning person. It has yet to happen, and I am gradually giving up hope of ever becoming a functioning human with normal hours. It’s like I’m permanently set to working the 4p-midnight shift even after I’m not anymore. And people with normal jobs chirping on Facebook about their coffee and how lovely it is 2 hours after I went to bed can all suck it.

Sunrises are way overrated anyway. Sunsets are the way to go.

Sunrises are way overrated anyway. Sunsets are the way to go.

So…I agreed with these points when I was 19.  Now…I get up at 7 on the weekdays and 830 or so on the weekends.  There’s an empirically reasoning to getting up early on the weekends: You don’t feel as sleepy.  When your waking-up time oscillates by hours (as for those who need to get up early for their 9-5 but like sleeping until 11 on the weekends), it’s like you’re constantly throwing your body into jet lag.  Which is why you THINK you aren’t a morning person.  Get up early on the weekends for a month and you’ll be amazed at how normal it feels.

The self-loathing is clearer than your points. If the happiness of others doing something that naturally comes to them makes you this angry… jeez. 

Not understanding is one thing. Declaring all people who get up early as:
- too absurd, too cruel, too masochistic
-it was either this or hiring a dominatrix
-I hate you
-You are the worst part of waking up
-You are the Anti-Folgers
-chipper douchebag
-you bastards
-I refuse to accept you are human

This isn’t just “not understanding”. As the OP wrote, they’re jealous. It’s dripping with self-loathing and self-judgement. I hate you because you all are happily doing something I can’t.

Hate is mentioned quite a bit. 

You’re right, it’s not an issue of self-discipline. You don’t need to self-discipline to stop short of hating people for  uhhhh waking up?

Yup! Friends who are happy can definitely  go suck it! Woohoo! Yay for hating on the happiness of friends! Fuck’em all. You win at life! Congratulations. Let’s find more completely trivial and asinine reasons to hate people. The world needs way more pointless envy driven hate. 

She’s just kidding. Gosh. It’s more like [morning person's] life is so perfect and I kinda wish I was like that but then again mine, bad as it is, is still more me. Satire against herself, not hatred and judgment. Lighten up!

Love it. “I hate you, social networking-capable morning person. You are the worst part of waking up. You are the Anti-Folgers.”
solid gold. hahaha.

Mornings are tough if you have nothing to wake up to. I’m sorry for you, society.

what happened? how’d you change?

I’m a morning person who gets to work hella early. I avoid talking to people cause I feel like they hate me for being energetic in the morning. This post totally confirms that, I’ll continue steering clear of regular people before noon.

I had to be on the job at 6am. I was up every day at 3:45 so I had time to work out, shower, pack a lunch and then drive in.

… I got a new job and partied for three nights in a row. Knocked all those months of morning person-dom right outta me.

I hate when people hate on morning people.  We don’t get how you can sleep until mid-afternoon and waste your day, and you don’t get how we can get up early effortlessly.  Just because we don’t get each other doesn’t mean we need to dislike each other.  Friends?

You are the anti-folgers= stealing.
great article

I feel the opposite way. I am a morning person as described in this article, and I feel like everyone hates me for it, just like this article does. What’s wrong with being a morning person? As you say, we all have to do the things we don’t want to do, so what’s wrong with those of us who would prefer to get them out of the way early?

Because Ben Franklin said so.

I run early in the mornings sometimes (5:30am this morning, whee), and I enjoy the solitude of mornings when I happen to be awake and have no obligations (ie; waking up early to go to work DOES NOT COUNT as enjoyment), but as far as people who spring out of bed at 6am 7 days a week…um, no thanks. I’ll happily sleep til noon (or later, oops) on days off if I feel so inclined.

Coffee is a must, however, regardless of day or time.

Breakfast is what gets me out of bed in the morning. And I never understood how people skipped breakfast. I’m always starving.

As a guy who is not much of a morning person but has to wake up five days a week for work, I have one piece of advice: Download the first 30 seconds of ‘Circle of Life’ from The Lion King. You will rise and be saluting the sun with vigor in no time.

I don’t get the beautiful people on the subway each morning.  At what time are you getting up to perfectly coordinate your outfit, blow dry and curl your hair and apply eye liner?  If I get contacts in and cover up my zits I did good.  

You’re our soul sister, Chelsea!

i’ma solve your sunrise problem. stay up all night and sleep at your desk. IT WORKS.

Come on, we are just taking the piss 

NAAAAAA! ZIMBET-YAH! ZLABADEE, ZLABADA! (zippee-doo) WAY-AR-ARHHH (way-ar, arhhh!)

My roommate is the epitome of a morning person. She’s done running, making an elaborate breakfast and has gotten ready by the time i drag myself out of bed. Makes me sick to my stomach. The most annoying thing is when i go to bed before her and she still manages to wake up before me, i mean C’mon!! I’ve seriously considered the vampire angle…

read this bleary-eyed and half asleep, missing my first class in favor of coffee and preparing for the next one, wishing i could’ve gone to sleep earlier but more importantly: that i could’ve woken up at 6 or 7 and loved it.

If I sleep past, like, 9, I feel like I’ve wasted HOURS of my day…because I have.
Sleeping is boring.  There’s too much World and Life going on, and too many Adventures to have, to waste an extra second of it by sleeping.
And frankly, seeing the Sunrise is basically a single reason good enough for getting up when it’s still dark out….
I guess I just don’t like sleeping very much, in the first place.

hilarious

It’s because you always chuck in that judgemental “wasting your day” gem. That is why we hate you.

Running in the morning is actually really rewarding. I am the opposite of a morning person so I don’t manage to pull it off every day or even every other day but when I do I’m always glad I did.

It takes a monumental amount of effort to motivate myself into actually doing it and  I feel like absolute shit until I’m about 2 min into it then suddenly I’m awake and my endorphins are pumping and the birds are chirping and I don’t feeling like killing anyone or myself anymore.

It really is the best way to start the day.

You’re an idiot, Jerry Kelso.

bingo.

one and only valid argument for da m. p’s.

don’t really get what a morning person is

i read this on a day when i woke up at 3pm and had breakfast at 4pm.

Wow, you posted this so late today it’s cramping my lunch break…we don’t really need you to understand us. I won’t complain about you wasting the best part of the day if you promise not to wake up and bother my morning quiet time.  I agree with the other commenter above though – if I somehow manage to sleep until 9 or 10 (and it does happen once about every six months), then I feel like I’ve missed most of the day already…life is too interesting to get more than six hours sleep!

Exactly. If you sleep til 5am, but I sleep til 9am, what’s the difference if we both slept the same amount of hours. The whole “judgmental towards those that sleep later” angle is illogical if we’re all sleeping the same number of hours. I’m wasting my day? Well, you wasted your night!

You seriously crack me up! 

“God didn’t even get out of bed on Sunday, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even sleep.” <—-that's one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

I’ve seen a lot of sunrises. They were my cue to go to sleep.

THIS. IS. AWESOME.
