Some characters get up in the morning smiling, [[Wakeup Makeup|their hair perfectly in place]], ready to face their [[Morning Routine]] with a song and the help of [[Disney Creatures of the Farce|cute animal critters]].

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Ryoma from ''[[Prince of Tennis]]''. A whole anime episode was dedicated to him sleeping in before the Saint Rudolph match and his friends trying to fill in before he gets to the courts.
* Kyouya Ootori from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''. He's sometimes referred to as the "Low Blood Pressure Overlord" because of it. Also, [[Token
** More like annihilating an entire platoon, complete with bunny shaped mushroom cloud. Of course, it may not be accurate given that [[Unreliable Narrator|the narrator is not known for his reliability]].
** According to an extra chapter in the manga, [[The Stoic|Mo]][[The Quiet One|ri]] becomes sociable and flirty when he's sleepy. Considering his character, it's hard to say whether or not this is being played straight.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
==
* Captain Boomerang from ''[[Suicide Squad]]''. His reaction to being waking before dawn for a mission was "Why have I got to be up before the sun? I ain't going to make the flowers grow!"
* [[Garfield]] is often shown to be like this. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the following exchange:▼
{{quote|'''Garfield:''' I'm not a morning person.▼
'''Jon:''' Good afternoon, Garfield. }}▼
* Roger Fox, the father of the household in ''[[FoxTrot]]'', tends to be... rather incoherent before his morning coffee.▼
** "''Coooooffeeee...''""The pot's over by the fridge." "''Coooooffeeee...''" "The fridge is ''that'' way." ''[[Rule of Three|"Coooooffeeee..."]]'' "See that thing with the little red light?... Roger, that's the answering machine!" "* glug glug glug* "▼
* Jeremy from ''[[Zits]]'', as amply demonstrated by the image above. For those who are Not a Morning Person, what he is describing is familiar—that time between being rudely awakened by an alarm, and actually being able to get out of bed.▼
** In another strip, he asks his mother to sign a note reading "Please excuse Jeremy from this morning's classes due to excessive gravity."▼
* [[Scott Pilgrim]] qualifies, if only because there isn't much morning, if any, left by the time he wakes up.
** In fact, the one time he ''does'' get up early, it's the first sign that something is wrong.
* Dagwood from ''[[Blondie]]''.▼
* A ''[[Heart of the City]]'' comic deals with this. Heart comes down and complains that she hates morning people like Mrs. Angelini, who responds that it's ''noon.''▼
{{quote|"Ain't summer vacation grand?"}}▼
* Calvin from ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]''. In a particularly memorable strip, his mother dragged him out to the bus stop still clinging to his bedding.▼
Line 75 ⟶ 66:
== Live
* It's been established that [[Columbo]] isn't coherent until he's had his coffee.
* Rachel in ''[[Friends]]'' is one of these.
Line 88 ⟶ 79:
* In [[Red Dwarf]] the reason that Lister gave for not finishing college was that there were lectures at two o'clock in the afternoon 'Come on, who's awake then? You can still taste the toothpaste'
* Penny in ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''. She has a "Don’t knock on my door before eleven o’clock or I punch you in the throat" rule.
== Newspaper Comics ==
▲* [[Garfield]] is often shown to be like this. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the following exchange:

'''Garfield:''' See?}}

== Tabletop Games ==
Line 127 ⟶ 133:
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'': Dexter's parents are like this [[Must Have Caffeine|before they have their coffee]]. The coffee is a magical elixir that turns them into the parents we see the rest of the time.
* Jane and Trent Lane from ''[[Daria]]'' are both like this, and according to Daria, so is Quinn.
* Princess Luna in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''; shortly after her [[Heel Face Turn]] she turns down Celestia's invitation to join her for breakfast, simply grabbing a piece of fruit and excusing herself. Justified, as she is the literal embodiment of the night.
* Eda from ''[[The Owl House]]'', as shown in the second episode; even a witch and practitioner of [[Wild Magic]] needs her morning coffee, it seems.
