Are you more of an early bird or a night owl, and does it suit your daily life?

A natural way to answer

I'd say I'm an early bird. I do my best work before lunch, and by the evening I'm too tired to focus. It suits my job well, since most things happen in the morning anyway.

Key phrases to use

• switches on — (of your brain) starts working properly and becomes alert“My brain doesn't switch on until I've had breakfast.”
• running on empty — continuing to function when you have almost no energy left“By Friday I'm completely running on empty.”
