Have you ever wondered why you vibe better with morning jogs or feel like a rockstar come Twilight? Well, buckle up, because the latest personality trend has hit the scene, and it's all about whether you're a sunrise or a sunset person. Think of it as astrology but with a touch more daylight (or dusk, depending on your preference).

Rise and Shine, Besties 

Let’s start with the sunrise folks. These are the people who roll out of bed with the same enthusiasm as a dog spotting its leash. If you find yourself waking up before your alarm, savouring that fresh morning air, and hitting the ground running (literally or metaphorically), congratulations! You're a sunrise personality. You’re the human equivalent of a motivational poster.

The Twilight Zone 

And then there are the sunset people, those dazzling individuals who come alive as the sun dips below the horizon. If you find your energy spiking post-5 PM, prefer moonlit walks to early morning hikes, and believe that “midnight” is an acceptable time for cereal, welcome to the sunset crew. You’re the night owl who thinks bedtime stories are best told at dawn.

What’s the Buzz About?

In the land of endless dance routines and DIY hacks, TikTok has birthed another heart-melting, laugh-inducing trend that's got everyone hooked. Enter the ‘sunrise or sunset’ challenge, where users ask their significant other or loved ones one simple but evocative question: “Am I a sunrise or a sunset?”

Here's the lowdown on this viral sensation that's equal parts adorable and hilarious.

The 'sunrise or sunset' trend is as straightforward as it sounds. You pop the question to someone close and then sit back and enjoy their answer. The trend blew up in mid-May, quickly becoming the heartwarming and comedic highlight of countless “For You” Pages.

Imagine this: you ask your boo, “Am I a sunrise or a sunset?” They ponder, then deliver a line like, “Definitely sunrise, because you bring promise and brightness to my day.” Cue the swooning. Or perhaps they say, “You’re both because you’re the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing before I sleep.” Aww, right?

But not every answer is straight out of a rom-com. Some folks are scratching their heads, responding with gems like, “Uhh, what do you mean?” or the classic, “I don’t know, you’re kind of like brunch?” (Not the prompt, but we appreciate the effort.)

One viral superstar hit the jackpot with 10 million views after sharing her brother's response to her heartfelt question. His answer? “I think you’re a b*tch,” followed by a heart emoji. Sibling love at its finest, folks.

So, whether you’re fishing for compliments, ready for a laugh, or just love a good TikTok trend, ask away: Are you a sunrise or a sunset? Just be prepared for whatever comes next—sweet, silly, or side-splittingly funny.
