DeBlog: Are You An Early Riser Or A Night Owl?

By Jason DeRusha, WCCO-TV

I used to be a night owl.  Thanks to kids waking up every morning at 7 a.m. and running into my bedroom to inform me it's "7 o'clock," I am now an early riser.

Sam Montgomery, from St. Paul e-mailed: "My father and I argue a lot about waking up in the morning. I'm a late riser, he's an early bird. He always tells me: 'The world wakes up early Sam, in order to make it in this world, you need to be up!'"

So why do some people wake up early and others are up late?

We're off to talk to a sleep expert at HCMC to find out. And why does it change as we get older?

What time do you get up?  Do you wish you could change it?  Share your thoughts in the comments, and we'll use them tonight at 10!  (Hopefully tonight's story will be a little less controversial than last night's Christmas lights story!)
