Then, match the daily activity with “How often?” the person does that activity. The order will be graded.
Beth: I wake up at 6:30 a.m., brush my teeth, and hop in the shower. I do this every morning because it helps
me wake up for the day. I wash my face and then wash it again before I go to bed. I comb and dry my hair.
During the week, I put on makeup but not on the weekends. I go to work at 8 a.m. and exercise Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays after work at 4:30. I eat dinner and then curl up on the couch to watch a TV show
or read a book in the evening. I usually go to sleep by 10. I like the same schedule every day.

Jake: I am not a morning person, so I usually wake up as late as possible. Sometimes I wake up at 7:00 a.m.,
but I don’t get out of bed until 7:30 a.m. On Mondays and Fridays, I shave. I rarely am at work before 9 a.m.
I exercise all the time since my job is a fitness trainer. Therefore, I do not shower until I get home from work.
I like to watch TV after I eat dinner. I often lose track of time because I am a night owl. I try to go to bed
before midnight so that I get at least 7 hours of sleep. My days are usually different with no set
schedule.

READING
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MORNING PEOPLE
Do you get up and exercise first thing in the morning? Or do you hit the snooze button 5 more times until you finally
crawl out of bed? Do you like to read the newspaper while you drink your coffee, or do you make yourself a nutritious
breakfast to start the day? Is 6:30 a.m. your ideal wake up time, or would you rather sleep until 7:30 a.m. every day?
There are many ways to start your day. What type of morning person are you?
1. The mindful risers:
Mindful risers like to get up earlier than the rest of their family (if they have one) to meditate or do
yoga in peace in the early morning hours. They take a long, relaxing shower afterward, followed
by a cup of tea while thinking about what they have to do for the day. They keep the mornings
positive, stress-free, and simple.

2. The exercisers:
Exercisers pretty much jump out of bed to go for a run or hit the gym. No matter the sport, it’s all
about waking up through motion and burning calories early on. The exercise is usually followed by
a quick shower, shave, or putting on makeup and then heading out the door with a protein shake or
smoothie in their hands.

3. The parents:
Parents usually get up way before their kids get up, which is, if they are lucky, somewhere between
6-7 a.m. That’s the only way to have a cup of coffee or read the news in peace. Making lunches,
packing backpacks, getting clothes out, unloading the dishwasher, cooking breakfast, and falling
over toys are the daily tasks a parent must go through. That’s all done in a matter of minutes right
before the real morning begins.

4. The snoozers:
The snoozers typically set their alarms at least one hour before they actually have to get up to get to
work/school. Once the alarm wakes them, they hit the snooze button. Then the same happens over
and over again, and again, and again. The super snoozers even set multiple alarms about 5 to 10
minutes apart in case they miss the snooze button the first time. Once they reach their last snooze,
they crawl out of bed like zombies. It’s advised to not talk to snoozers until they have had at least
three cups of coffee.

5. The doers:
The doers wake up ready to tackle whatever problem the day might have in store for them. They
usually write a to-do list right before they go to sleep and are ready to get things done as soon as
they wake up. Taking a shower, getting dressed, and eating a nutritious breakfast while reading the
latest news is usually done efficiently. Some doers also throw in a little exercise like biking to work
while listening to an audio book.
6. The non-schedulers:
The non-schedulers do not have a set routine. They might exercise once or twice a week. They
might take a shower in the morning or in the evening before going to sleep. Sometimes they go all
out and make themselves a nice breakfast with eggs or pancakes. Other days they just grab a coffee
and muffin from the gas station. They usually sleep in on the weekends and skip breakfast com-
pletely to enjoy brunch with friends. They are able to get to work a little early, if needed, but usually
don’t worry too much about anything.
