What time do you get up in the morning?

Myself I get up 10 minutes after the Alarm goes off and 20 minutes before I need to be at work.

Of course I am only .5 miles away from work so it is no sweat to get there. :running:
 
I've never been an early riser. Only time I've ever gotten up automatically at an early hour was Navy boot camp, after the first week or so we were all up and out of bed before the first notes of "Reveille" came through the PA speaker. Nowadays I'm a night owl, go to bed around 3:00 AM and wake up around 10 to noon.
 
On average about 4am, but sometimes as early as 3am or as late as 6am. A nap of an hour during the day, to bed at 10 or 11pm.

Since I gave up on finding a real job around here and decided to stay retired, that's pretty much my schedule too. Although I've got enough to do around here that I'm usually don't get on SOH until the evening.
 
Sleep?

I am so screwed up with pain, pills and depression :mixedsmi: that I never know when I'll sleep and for how long. Add in 25+ years of shiftwork(mostly Midnights) and you have someone with chronic sleep issues. Now that I'm off on disability I just go with the flow and sleep when it happens.:kilroy:

Me too. Up between 3:30 and 4:00. Never up past 10 pm. As soon as my wife smells the coffee, she comes downstairs. Good time to watch tv. Battle 360 was on this am
 
When I was working... 6 Am

Now that I'm looking for work, I'm usually up till midnight or later and I get up at between 7 and 8 in the morning.

Given the fact that I am not working as such..but staying home taking care of my wife as she continues to recover from last summer's brain surgery, I find that I have adjusted to her "normal" sleep patterns. She was a third shift nurse for the better part of half of her life time...so being awake at night and sleeping during the day is normal for her. So, I usually go to bed around 4, maybe 5 in the morning, up between 11 am and 3 pm, then up until 4 or 5 the next morning.

Typical workday I am up anywhere from 5:45-6:15am. Like to get to the office early before traffic gets bad. If I don't have to get up for any reason (rare occasion with 2 young kids), I will sleep in around 10am or so.

I'm a night owl by nature and after getting up early for years it still is hard to do! :isadizzy:

I'm a nite owl....in bed by 2am and up at 7am for work. If it's Sat....10am-ish for wake-up.
 
In my first life I woke up 5 min before the alarm clock aroun d 5.30 AM.

When I was a student, I worked in nightshifts as much as a half time job starting 10 PM to 6 AM. During that time I developed my two turns day: Go to bed at 7 AM, get up between 10-11 AM, do the day stuff, take a second brake between 7 and 9 PM, get up and go to work.

I did this for nearly 5 years: 3 days night shift then back to the normal schedule - 3-4 times a month. Talk about Jetlag? Not for me! But the price for that was: My daily rythm isn`t worth the word anymore.

Now I have a normal job. I have to be there between 6 and 9 AM and roughly work 8-9 hours a day.

I would love to start early and get up around 5 AM like I did in my former life, but for that I would need to go to bed at around 10PM the day before - impossible for me: I just love the evening/night - The sound on the radio, the TV programs - all much better!!

I normally head for the bed around 1AM now and get up around 6.30-7AM - but its just a compromise.
 
Well it's nice to know I ain't the only bone head that gets up early. Now da wife-ee....she is suppose to be at work around 9:00am. She gets up around 8:55am runs around with her hair on fire then flies down the road. On weekends by the time she gets up...I have already done most of the laundry, washed both cars and the company van and just about ready to cut grass...first words out of her mouth is what cha wanna today.:bump:
 
Not working here either but I'm still getting up about the same time as when I was a carhauler..... 5 or 6 am. Then it's off for coffee at WaWa down the street till 8am. That's my time away from the Warden.... unless I'm off early to a carshow for the day. :d LOL
 
I myself am surprised to see so many 4 ams.... My wife & I both work about an hour away from our jobs so we must wake our two little ones at 4 and get them to babysitter, I usually get home about 4, so I'm gone for, on the avearage, 12 hours a day...and do it all over again the next day.

I am a fairly early riser 4-5 AM most days, very rarely I will sleep in until 6:00. The strange thing with me is I just wake up when I need to, what I mean is I just think about what time I want to be up and I wake at that time... I can't really explain it, but since I lost my hearing of course an alarm clock is useless, so I guess this was just my way of adapting, it's worked fine for the past 7 years . . .

I did try a special alarm when I first went deaf, it was called a "Sonic Boom" kind of a neat rig, you felt the sound more than heard it... well I did anyway, problem was the first time I tried it, I "forgot" to tell the wife... I happened to wake up a few minutes before it went off, I was just steping out of the shower when I felt the BOOM. I strolled into the bedroom, and after I scraped the wife, the cat, and my daughters dog off of the ceiling I watched the "Sonic Boom" wizzzz past my head....:pop4: so much for that idea... I still get a good chuckle out of that every now and again...lol
