Do you get up real early, like 4 or 5 a.m.? If so, what in the heck are your doing? My husband gets up at 4 or 5 because he says he gets to thinking how great the coffee will taste. Then he watches the news and makes himself breakfast about 6:30 or 7. He brings me coffee after he eats and I sit up in bed and read and write in my journal for an hour or so. I can't stand TV in the morning so I just stay in bed till 8 or 9. I make my breakfast about 10 a.m.
 

I usually get up around 6:00 but sometimes earlier if I just can't sleep any longer. Then I might take a nap later.
 

Yup I'm up now..been up for almost an hour ( it's 6.20am)...I have to get up at 5 or 5.30am for work...when I'm not at work I can sleep until about 7am if I'm lucky but only if I go to bed really late, I would luuurve to be able to stay in asleep till 9am.. but my body clock won't let me..
 
Don't get up early, but did last year when I was stressed, starting waking up at 6 am.

I'm up now because I can't sleep for some reason, so making some noodles hoping that will settle me down. These days I'm usually up to at least midnight and wake up at 9 or so.
 
We get up at 6:50 on a gym day as I take the 8:07 bus into town. DH makes our tea and toast and I get up and nuke my porridge. We have breakfast in bed and listen to BBC radio 4 (talk). On non gym days we get up between 7 and 7:30. I could easily sleep till 8 though.
 
I never sleep though the night these days, so go to bed between 9:00 and 11:00 pm and sleep till about 3:00am up for an hour then sleep till about 6:00 am. I make coffee in the bedroom, and get up about 9:00ish. I don't usually eat anything until 11:00 am then the day may start :).....................or it may not :confused:
 
I've been an early riser for years, in part due to a job that required a long commute into Boston. In fact I just got up about 20 minutes ago, at 4:00. I need about 7 hours of sleep per night to feel rested. Most mornings, since I stopped regular commuting (I have to go into Boston this morning) I'm up around 5:00-5:30. I like the quiet of the morning. I'll sip my coffee, read the Times on my laptop, or peruse blogs online. Even in my youth I got up very early, having had a morning paper route before school when I was in high school.
 
You know the old saying, "The early bird catches the worm" and I do. Yup, up between four and five to start the pot and stir the pot...
 
Up at 2 or 3AM !!! Spend about 4 or 5 hours on the internet till daylight!! Rainy days (when we get em) and winter I am on longer/often during the day..avatar38_1.gif bebored.gif
 
I go to bed between 11:00 and midnight. Normally, I am up at 5:00 a.m. When I worked, I generally had the first flight out between 6:00 and 7:00, so I just never got out of the habit. BTW, I don't take any naps during the day and never feel tired enough to want to. I do my weekday run between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. and then have breakfast. No lunch.
 
5:00am, sometimes 5:30. I have osteoarthritis and it gets very painful in the morning hours. Once I'm up, the pain usually subsides. If the weather is good, I like to walk early in the morning when most are asleep and everything is still fresh.
And, an enlarged prostate doesn't help. You guys know what I'm talking about.
 
I'm taking full advantage of retirement so I sleep whenever I want…but, unfortunately not how long I want. My body clock wakes me up every 4 hours + or - . But I always make sure I get in 6 or 7 hours a day. Generally, I'm up at 5:30am most days. I know that's not the best for my health and I'm working on it. Goal is to sleep straight through the nigh of course…for that good REM sleep.
 
Up early, 4:15am for work... On days I don't work, I can sleep until about 6am... but not usually later than that. I do seem to wake up every night about 3am and sometimes have a hard time going back to sleep. My mind seems to race. what's up with that?
 
Up around 4:30 every morning, seven days/week. Hardly ever set an alarm. Body clock just wakes me up.

Days I'm home, we tee off at around 6:30 a.m. By the time I eat breakfast, drink my coffee, shower, etc... and drive to the course it works out about right. Other in my group get up 20 minutes before tee time... and look like it!!!
Days I'm working, I will have crews on site by 7 a.m. Up, shower, eat breakfast and off to the job site.
 
I get up at 2AM, 3AM, 4AM, etc. I do take a lot of naps during the day, though. When I was working, I used to leave the house at 6:30. While my wife was on dialysis, we had to get up at 5:15. In the Winter that meant clean the ice off the car, and make a fifteen minute drive in the dark over snow covered back roads. I'm happy to be able to roll over in bed these days.
 
I go to bed between 10 PM and 12 PM and always up at 6 AM, Have coffee, watch the news, check finances, answer email. go for a walk,check Face book, back on line, breakfast around 9 AM
 
Usually I'm up between 7 and 8 (if I don't have an appt or someplace I need to go). Kitty starts yelling at me about 7:30 ...get your a@@ up and fix my breakfast :mad:

I need alarms. I've never been one of those people who can just wake up at 6 or whatever.
 
Sometimes I get up grumpy at 6:00 a.m.....sometimes I just let him sleep.

Actually, the boyfriend and I are on two different sleep schedules. He's an early-to-bed-and-early-to-rise. I'm the opposite. It works out as it gives both of us some time for ourselves, which is good because living for several months at a time in a RV doesn't provide for a lot of private time.
