Content Block. Larks and Owls
Content Block
Some people are "larks" — they love mornings. Other people are "owls" — they feel their best at night. Meet a lark and an owl. Anna, 38, baker I'm a baker, so I always get up at 3:30 am. I never use an alarm clock — I just wake up! I usually have a coffee and get to the bakery at 4. Most of my time I make bread and cakes. I finish work at noon and often have a nap after lunch. In the evening I rarely watch TV. I'm usually in bed at 9 pm. Leo, 29, DJ I'm a DJ, and I usually start work at 11 pm. I hardly ever go to bed before 4 am, so I never get up before noon. I don't usually have breakfast — I have lunch at 2 pm! In the afternoon I often go to the gym or hang out with friends. People say I'm always tired on Monday mornings. That's not true — I'm always asleep on Monday mornings!
