About the Sunrise or Sunset Trend

You might have seen this trend on places like TikTok or Twitter/X. It’s a fun experiment where people ask their friends, partners, or family, “Am I a sunrise, or a sunset?” with no explanation or context, and see what they say. There’s no right or wrong answer, it’s just a fun way to see what other people think of you and what sort of vibes you give off.

What a sunrise or sunset person actually is, though, is different for everyone, and depends on their own perspective and associations. Here’s what we think:

A sunrise person is bright and energetic. They’re go-getters with lots of energy who love to have fun, be adventurous, and seize every day like it’s their last. They’re optimists who tackle every challenge with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, and bring some much-needed sunshine to everyone around them.

A sunset person is more calm and quiet. They’re careful thinkers who take things at their own pace, and are in tune with the world around them. Other people feel safe and assured in their presence, and feel like they can trust sunset people with any secret. Like a warm cup of tea or cocoa, they have a chill vibe and are a good companion for a quiet evening.

Don’t take our word for it, though! We’ll tell you in the quiz what kind of person we think you are, but go ahead and ask your friends what they think. Their answers might surprise you!
