10 Signs that You Are Not a Morning Person

Throughout the United States, there are millions of people who wake up angry or completely discombobulated each and every morning. One could perhaps even call this an epidemic. If we chose to give it a name, we could call it "Morning Aversion Syndrome" (M.A.S.). But in actuality, it really doesn't require a title - just some easily identifiable symptoms so that one can know for sure if they in fact have this condition.

To get the ball rolling, I have listed some common symptoms that people I know who have morning aversion all share. If you have two or more of these symptoms, there's a good chance that you have it too.

1. You arrive at work in the morning and are immediately sent home for wearing your PJ's to the office. When informed of your poor outfit choice, you look down in shock as you realize you neglected to shower and put on your work clothes.

2. Your eyes don't officially open until you've had at least 2 cups of coffee (which you've grown accustomed to making with both eyes closed).

3. People who wish you "Good Morning!" irritate you.

4. You set two or more alarm clocks to wake you up and sleep through all of them.

5. You have a habit of telling people "Good Morning!" at work when it's well into the afternoon.

6. You view your alarm clock as "the enemy."

7. You wake up cussing.

8. You get depressed when you awake 15 minutes before your alarm clock sounds.

9. You form an immediate dislike for anyone who claims they are a "morning person."

10. You view a beautiful sunrise as the work of the devil.

If you can relate to several of the above statements, it's important to at least forewarn the people with whom you come in contact so that they can stay clear of you - unless they too have this condition! Be it that I too suffer from morning aversion, I can truly empathize with what you are going through.
