* Arthur in ''ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'', as seen (amongst other places) [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1765.htm here]]). Also Morguase, in order to contrast with her son Gawaine, who rather famously ''[[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0518.htm is]]''.

In {{anime}} and {{manga}}, it seems to often be implied that characters are this way because they have low blood pressure. In the west, these characters are more prone to [[MustHaveCaffeine desperately need coffee in the mornings]] instead.

* [[FateStayNight]]'s resident {{tsundere}} Rin Tohsaka drifts around like a phantom in the morning sporting a crabby face. The prologue even has her thinking to herself how happy she is that she set her clock as such that she can afford a few more minutes. Too bad summoning Archer the previous night messed with the time of all the clocks in the house.

* {{Naruto}: in the words of DeceptiveDeciple [[FourEyesZeroSoul Kabuto]], Sasuke "Can be a bit cranky when he wakes up." [[spoiler: Sasuke then proceeds to blow up a wall.]] Yeah, thanks CaptainObvious.

* {{Naruto}: in the words of DeceptiveDeciple [[FourEyesZeroSoul Kabuto]], Sasuke is "Terribly grumpy when he first wakes up".

** According to an extra chapter in the manga, Mori becomes sociable and flirty when he's sleepy. Considering his character, it's hard to say whether or not this is being played straight.

** In fact, the one time he ''does'' get up early, it's a sign that something is seriously wrong.

->"It's far too early in the morning for it to be early in the morning."

* Misato Katsuragi from {{Neon Genesis Evangelion}} has this problem, even if she has not been drinking the evening before. Well, that and the fact she's incredibly lazy when it comes to household chores.

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 wobble around as if they're some sort of zombie, often sporting bags under their eyes and MessyHair 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 NotAMorningPerson. No InstantWakingSkills for them.

** "''Coooooffeeee...''""The pot's over by the fridge." "''Coooooffeeee...''" "The fridge is ''that'' way." ''[[RuleofThree "Coooooffeeee..."]]'' "See that thing with the litlle red light?... Roger, that's the answering machine!" "* glug glug glug* "

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

* People who routinely stay awake during the night and sleep in the morning are usually stereotipically considered terminally lazy, but science now tells us they might just have [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome delayed sleep phase syndrome]].

** "''Coooooffeeee...''""The pot's over by the fridge." "''Coooooffeeee...''" "The fridge is ''that'' way." [[RuleofThree "''Coooooffeeee...''"]] "See that thing with the litlle red light?... Roger, that's the answering machine!" "* glug glug glug* "

** "The pot's over by the fridge... The fridge is over there... See that thing with the blinking red light?... Roger, that's the answering machine!" "* glug glug glug* "

* Nayuki from ''{{Kanon}}'' is this, as well as a HeavySleeper.
