One thing I have to work on when I arrive in Thailand for my trips is the hours , sleep💤 and time 🕕

I have found nowadays unlike 20 years ago ,guys(boys) are available 24 hours from the apps so no need to stay up late or early hours anymore 

I usually rise at 4am in Australia,go to gym , then start work at 6am and bed by 8pm

Now I did that last time when I was last in Thailand and it worked well, I had more energy,boys were cheaper and available,and believe it or not I had many boys messaging me at odd hours such as 730am 

Would you describe yourself as a day or night person?☀️🌘🌙

When your in Thailand are you up early hours or late afternoon?

 

Definitely a day person, up at 6am to get ready for breakfast, after breakfast it's the gym (if the hotel has one) or a nice long walk if the hotel doesn't have a gym. Usually head off on my daily excursions around 9:30 / 10am ish (which includes afternoon massage and fun) and back to hotel by 5:30 / 6pm ish for shower and change then off for dinner and a few drinks. Bed time is usually by 10pm then repeat the next day, I'm just not a bar or show person so relatively early nights give me the rest for the following day. If the hotel has a pool I may make an hour or so available for a swim in the afternoon, especially on days when not much is planned. The main change to that schedule is if I'm heading off for a day trip out of Bangkok, then it will be off after breakfast and back to hotel around 6:30 / 7pm ish, then shower and out for dinner etc.

I am definitely a day person.  For more than 30 years I was up at 5:30am and at school by 6:30am.  Bed time was usually 11pm.  I tried to get at least six hours of sleep a night, but could function with five for several days if necessary.  Since I retired, my body is just so accustomed to those hours I routinely wake up at 5:30am.  Once I adjusted to the time difference between Denver and Bangkok last October, I followed that same routine.  My schedule was very similar to @TMax.  I enjoyed starting my day with a nice breakfast.  Not so much of a gym person, but would go for a nice walk or swim during the day.  While I am not much of a bar/club person, I did manage to stay out late while in Bangkok to experience some of the nightlife.  I will probably do the same on my trip in February, although not on a nightly basis.

That's very early. Were you the discipline mistress or in some other supervisory position? At what time did school start proper? And is it the same throughout the US or unique to your state and/or the type of school (state vs private, religious school, etc)? I was a day scholar and a night owl until I left for the UK at 16 for my Sixth Form. Boarding school was rigid and stressful in some ways but a lot of fun in other ways. Since then I've always been a day person and am in bed by 10.30 most nights. 

I don't know how the guys do it staying up all night drinking in bars 🍷🍸🍺🍹then get up the next day .

My day starts at 5pm the earliest, I was lucky to make it out in Pattaya or BKK by 9pm , I might make a 7pm dinner if @BjornAgain pushed it, lol

Not really, you'd be amazed at how much of nothing there is at 3am or later, just guys high on drugs looking 🥺

I believe you without hesitation. Many times boys at 7.30 am asked me if we should take a shower and go eat some breakfast .

As for your question on vacation I like to rise early and stay  active  deep into night. result of that is that afternoon hours are the worst for me as I feel tired and sleepy, specially between 6 and 9 pm.

At home, more or less the same

Indeed it was very early.  I was in California.  In general, school districts set their own bell schedules with some guidance from the state.  When I was teaching, first period started at 7:30am.  I taught special education in a public high school.  My students were the moderate to severe population, so they rode special buses and started arriving between 7 and 7:15am.  I had to schedule my paraprofessionals so that they would meet the buses and escort the students to the classroom.  Basically, 6:30-7:00am was the only time during the day I had to myself for any type of prep work before the students started arriving.  Since I retired and after COVID, the state (California) stepped in and passed a law stating 8:30am was the earliest high school could begin in order to allow for students to get more sleep and be better prepared for the school day.  Of course, that had a chain reaction with all after school activities being pushed to a later time in the day.  Consequently, students got home later, started homework later, were still staying up until the wee hours of the night/morning...and still falling asleep in first period class beginning at 8:30am!  

Since starting to work, I have always been much more of a late person. On working days (when I still worked full time) I'd rarely be in bed before 1:00am and ready to start sometime late morning. Now I am slightly less late getting to bed, but the habits of a lifetime are difficult to change.

Hence the reason most of us are on this site...

 

If I pop a "little blue pill ", I can be a morning, afternoon or nite person.  👍 😍
