Yrael sleeps in until it's warm out of sheer disgust for cold mornings. Or, if forced to get up, will complain at length and take every available opportunity to insinuate himself into whatever warm space (a rucksack, the corner of the couch, alongside someone else, flopped in a pile of cats) he can find, and go back to sleep.
Sunshine grumbles and hurries from the warmth of her bed to a quick hot shower. Cold mornings tend to be really bitterly cold, when you're getting up at 4:00 in order to get to work by 4:30, well before the sun rises. Her favorite way to wake up is a ginormous cup of hot tea which is the first thing she makes when she gets to the coffeehouse each morning, while the preheating ovens help warm her bakery and keep out the cold.
Zelgadiss is pretty stoic about the cold. It's a regular hazard of being on the road. If it's available, he likes to warm himself up with a hot drink before he begins sword practice.
Personally? I haaaaaate cold mornings. I resent them with a fiery passion. Leaving that wonderful warm cocoon of blankets and pillows is a very nearly heartwrenching experience. My favorite way to wake and warm up is an inordinately long and hot shower, followed by tea and wrapping up in warm knitted things to venture outside.

Tests?
Sunshine still has the dread of sudden tests that comes with being a student who never really paid attention in class unless the subject directly interested her. She took written tests as a high school student, but now her tests are... practicals. And are more often than not life-or-death situations.
Zelgadiss takes tests seriously, but is not intimidated by them (this would be the life-or-death situation tests again, rather than written). He knows he's smart, and fast, and strong, and very seldom doubts that he'd be able to face any test - if not always with ease - then without too many problems.
Yrael likes a good challenge. He likes being tested, because it gives him an opportunity to show off (as though he needed an excuse). Push him, and he'll push back with enthusiasm (or, as the occasion merits, with teeth).
Me? I'm good with tests. There is always some vague trepidation, now that I'm out of school and tests are always of the practical and job-assessment types, but nothing that would keep me from doing my best.
