Are you Nocturnal?

I'm trying a bit of an experiment here. It occured to me that most animals have daily periods of peak activity as determined by their species, but we human animals all seem to be different. Why is that I wonder?

For example I'm wide a wake just before dawn and just after dusk get very nesty and am ready for sleep before anyone else I know. I'd say I'm pretty much a crepuscular animal myself with highest enegry just before dawn and during the early morning. Parhaps that makes me Matinine really (not sure but I think I'll click that one, its still part of the overall crepuscular classification).

My partner is just the opposite, he finds it very difficult to get up in the morning, experiences a real dip in energy at dusk then ping! he's wide away till 1 or 2 in the morning!

I thought I'd try a poll on the subject to see what other people here experience in terms of peak energy times during the 24 hour cycle. So are you Diurnal, Nocturnal or Crepuscular (like me)?
