About This Quiz

Some people can't wait for the sun to come up so they can start their day. Others are the exact opposite and feel the most like themselves when the sun sets. The daytime brings new opportunities, people out in the world chasing their dreams and the warmth of the big orange ball up in the sky. But those who prefer the nighttime do so because the stars are shining (yes, we know the sun is a star), the weather is cooler, and everything seems to settle down for a long slumber. That's when some people are at their finest. They come out of their shells and are ready to get down to business. Werewolves aren't the only ones waiting for moonlight.

Which time of day have you always felt more connected to? If you follow the usual schedule of work during the day, relax at night, then the daytime is probably more like you. It's when you feel the most accomplished and focused. You wait for the darkness so you can finally unplug and unwind. But if you wait for the night to do the exact opposite, the daytime represents a more relaxed and dutiful environment for you. It's not when you do the things you want to do, but the things you have to do. So are you more like the day or the night? Take this quiz to find out!
