How do you get up in the morning?

I like to just lay around in a nice warm bed, but usually the need to pee gets me up. Then by the time DH gets up I can be cheerful.

I'm a night owl. I usually go to sleep at around 1am. I take sleep aids and have multiple fans for white noise so I'm "dead to the world". I get up when my alarm goes off at 10am. I'm out of bed quickly but my mood doesn't improve until after my coffee.

My wife's an early riser. She brings me a coffee and muffin or donut around 8:30. That gets me started and I usually stagger out and start my day.

She reminds me of how often, when I was working, that I'd bring her a coffee as I headed out the door. In those days she was a "stay at home" wife with 4 little ones all born within a span of 6 years.

The time I get up in the morning depends on what time I go to bed. Whatever time it is, as soon as my eyes open, I'm a little ray of sunshine. I head to the bathroom to make myself presentable, just in case I run into someone on the way to the mailbox. I don't want to be responsible for scaring anyone to death. Then I make breakfast, drink coffee, and contemplate ways to take over the world.

My wake time varies but is generally well before 10A.M. regardless of the time I went to bed.

My alarm clock, the boy dog, sounds like urgent BARKING and ROOoo-ing !!! that can not be ignored.
"No" or "Lay down" often works as a snooze button but not always reliably.

Mason has a pet door and comes and goes as he pleases. Not sure why he demands I be up.
Except it involves treats for going out and coming back in ... or maybe because it involves eats and treats.

Once up as demanded, I never go back to bed or even nap at Fort Sofa ... except sometimes in the afternoon.

Oh. Pinky and the Brain. Good morning to you.

I prefer to awake at sunrise, peer out the window, and witness a glorious one. Then find the coffee pot.

I have a cup or two of coffee at midnight while reading or watching TV. I haven't been able to fall asleep before midnight for some time now. I don't get enough sleep. By morning (after I've finally fallen asleep for a bit of time) I have no choice but to get up to run to the bathroom.
