What time do you wake up?

Well?

I've found that waking up early make the entire day better, but just *doing* it is hard.

Before 6 (obviously) for me.... I'm an early riser/morning person. Always have been.

Often between 7:30 and 8:30 but I don't know which poll choice to take for that.

On school days I need to be out of the house by 8:45 to make it to my 10 AM classes. I actually prefer waking very early but I also like to stay up very late, so one or the other has to budge, and staying up late always seems to get first pick...

Every so often I'll stay up all night to stir things up a bit though

Why was I not surprised to see this topic so soon after Cran's comment about my early riserhood.

Mornin Cran, Ad. Coffee? Tea?

I get up about 2:30 to 3:00. I have to be at work at 0500 EST. Of course Gary Kelly is usually here early but it's not early for him.

That describes me exactly.

Up at 5:00am M-F. I'm not really a morning person. Don't know what I would do without my coffee fix. Now off to catch the 6:18 to Boston!

Cheers,
David

This poll question seems to assume that one has gone to bed to begin with.

On work days, my alarm goes off at 5:55 AM (That doesn't mean that's when I get up

). When I don't have to go to work, or have some other obligation, I sleep in usually till about 8 or 8:30. I don't do mornings well, but I've gotten more used to them over the years.

I haven't either

I'm usually up before 7 because I have so much to get done before noontime. If I sleep in too long, nothing gets done, and I stress.

I vote "none of the above."

I go to bed between 1 and 2 in the afternoon and the latest I ever sleep is 6:30 in the evening.

The pastor of our church is slightly hyperactive. He regards snooze alarms as one of the worlds worst inventions, only for the lazy.

I disagree. Snooze alarms have saved me many a time. In my younger days a volcano wouldn't wake me up and I can't count the times I was late for school or work because I'd hit the shut off button and go back to sleep. I'd put the clock on the other side of the room, get up, shut it off and go back to bed without ever being awake.

I used to get really angry when I failed to get up so I used to buy those Big Bend wind up clocks. They were cheap so I could smash them in anger whenever I wanted.

Then I got my first "snooze enabled" clock. I set it for 1/2 hour before zero-hour. Problem mostly solved. I could wake up gradually.

Except that some clock manufacturers put the snooze button right next to the "off" button. I've lost a couple of clocks due to that as well.
