I don't possess a single molecule of early rising DNA.

 

[Kahaih]

You woke me up for this?

 

[NotHardUp1]

I'm just back in from running errands and getting things done before work.

Boy, are my knuckles draggin'!

Come to think of it, this could explain my attraction to hairy men.

 

[rareboy]

I have neanderthal DNA.

 

[Peloso]

I'm a night owl living in an early bird's body. Both have advantages but there's nothing like meeting the sunrise every day.

 

[peeonme]

I sleep late in the winter months. From May through Oct. I am up at 7:00 because of my lawn service business. I don't know that DNA plays a role in it.

 

[HoodedRat]

These days I wake up, and get up, at 6 am on the dot every day of the week, but prior to my late 50s I preferred to sleep until at least noon whenever possible. I think my Neanderthal DNA just took a bit of time to kick in.

I used to. I think grad school killed it.

I think we have Tarsier-DNA instead.
