And then there are ''these'' characters. They don't want to get up in the morning at all if they can help it, and when they do they [[Zombie Gait|wobble around as if they're some sort of zombie]], often sporting bags under their eyes and [[Messy Hair]] that would devour combs whole. It's best not to talk to them in the morning, because goodness knows they'll take everything you say as an insult. From the merely lethargic to the downright dangerous, these characters are just [['''Not a Morning Person]]'''. No [[Instant Waking Skills]] for them.

If you [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World]], you will most likely be like this. Crime-fighting always beats out sleep, for some reason. Sometimes these characters are also [[Heavy Sleeper|Heavy Sleepers]]s in general, but not always. They may also have a tendency to [[Ring Ring CRUNCH|kill roosters and smash alarm clocks]]. Then again [[Slept Through the Apocalypse|some days you really don't want to wake up early]].

Can be [[Truth in Television]], as [[Most Tropers Are Young Nerds|many a troper]] could probablyfor tellsome youpeople.

== Anime &and Manga ==

* Kyouya Ootori from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''. He's sometimes referred to as the "Low Blood Pressure Overlord" because of it. Also, [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] Hani has been known to beat up a soldier for waking him up too early.

* Nabiki Tendō of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' is portrayed as such, especially in the anime. It tends to be played up in [[Fanfic|fanfictionfanfic]]tion.

{{quote| Its habit of getting up late you'll agree<br />

That it carries too far, when I say<br />

That it frequently breakfasts at five-o'clock tea,<br />

* Bertie in ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' is like this, complete with [[Must Have Caffeine]]. In his [[Establishing Character Moment]], he describes being rudely woken up "in the small hours"--at—at ''half-past eleven.'' If you insist on waking him before noon, ''don't'' try talking to him until he's had his [[Spot of Tea]] and a bit of breakfast--[[Berserk Button|he's pretty patient after that, but not before]].

{{quote| ''If I ever breakfasted at half past eight I should walk on the Embankment, trying to end it all in a watery grave.''}}

{{quote| ''Mike was a stout supporter of the view that sleep in large quantities is good for one. He belonged to the school of thought which holds that a man becomes plain and pasty if deprived of his full spell in bed. He aimed at the peach-bloom complexion.''}}

== Live -Action TV ==

* Susan Ivanova in ''[[Babylon 5]]'' has problems waking up when it's still dark outside -- andoutside—and she works on a space station.

{{quote| '''Professor:''' Questions about ethics can be answered with one simple thing: a mirror. [...] After the fact, can you wake up the next morning, look into the mirror, and like what you see?<br />

** And ''The Wind Waker''. And ''Ocarina of time''. And ''The Minish Cap''. Possibly also ''A Link to the past'' -- OK—OK, let's just say, Link's Not a Morning Person in general...

* Since Dechs "Shadehawk" Rashart -- aRashart—a.k.a. ''[[Antihero for Hire]]'' -- habitually—habitually "works nights", he takes this to extremes. Forget mornings -- wakingmornings—waking him up before sundown has this kind of effect.

* There's a ''[[Casey and Andy]]'' strip where Andy has made coffee -- despitecoffee—despite not drinking coffee himself. The question of "why" is answered when Satan enters -- inenters—in the form of a seven-feet tall, winged, clawed, fanged, bright-red and particularly grumpy-looking demon. One gulp of coffee later, she reverts to her [[Evil Is Sexy|familiar form]], brightly remarking "Morning, all!". "Yeah," comments Andy, "It's best if she gets her coffee right away."

* ''[[Walkyverse|It's Walky!]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20110818151837/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000722.html "Morning people suck ass."]

* Eric Remington, as seen in [https://web.archive.org/web/20110417181526/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/100 this strip] of ''[[Loserz]]''.

* [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140209182550/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4271 Baby Blue] in ''[[Sinfest]]''. Then, she is disgruntled for additional reasons.
