Inquiry post #5- Morning Vs. Evening
October 16th, 2025
Hi blog! Welcome back.
In this weekâs post about my free inquiry project, I am going to discuss the difference between a morning routine, and an evening routine, and how they can be different, from personal experience. Most people have heard the term âearly birdâ or ânight owlâ, but what about the terms âmorning doerâ or âevening snoozerâ I remember learning those as a kid.
What Am I?
Personally, I am an early bird, I prefer to wake up in the morning and get lots done. I find that if I donât wake up early and start my day, I just end up having a lazy day and donât accomplish anything. If you remember my second post of my free inquiry project, I shared a little about what my morning routine looks like. Surprisingly, it hasnât changed at all. I wake up, journal, make my coffee, and head to either work or school. I like my routine, and it works well for me. Iâve been trying to get back into going to the gym before work or school, but what this means for me is a change in my routine, if I want to go to the gym, I will have to wake up an hour and a half earlier than I currently do (and Iâm already waking up at 6:30 am mind you).

This article discusses how routines are important, especially for young children.
Having structure, so children know what to expect from each day is so important, whether that be in or outside of the classroom.
Morning Routine
Morning routines are typically surrounded around what time you wake up, how you get your day started, and where you go for the day (schoolwork or some days both). An evening routine is more so about how you wind down for the day, how you relax yourself enough to get a good nightâs sleep, to wake up and feel refreshed for the next day.
I have never been one to have much of an evening routine, until I was back in school that is, now I get home from work or school, do a couple hours of homework while I eat dinner, shower then bedtime for me (at 8pm lol, sometimes 9 if Iâm feeling a little wild).
Children and Routine
As discussed in the article above, children thrive off routine, having a good morning routine for them, getting them ready for school, and out the door, but also a good evening routine, a bedtime routine if you will. School can be hard for students, having a routine can provide them with consistency they may be lacking in their school days, it can give them a sense of comfort, knowing what is happening next.
Although making a routine and getting used to it can be challenging, I personally believe it is extremely beneficial for all types of people, introverts, extroverts, childrenâs adults etc. Iâm always here to help people make routines of their own, so donât hesitate to reach out if you need any support!!
Thanks, blog!
See you next week! <3
