When Do You Wake Up?

My alarm goes off at 5 and I normally crawl out of bed at 515 or so. As long as I'm up by 530 I'm good. It takes me about 5 minutes to get ready. Normally I get out of bed take my meds, pee, put on clothes, get my coffee and I'm out the door. I shower before i go to bed so i dont have to in the mornings. My so gets up at 630 so when I leave everybody is still sleeping. Even the dogs. Normally i can't even get the dogs to go out. On the weekends I normally am awake by 730 on my own. occasionally I'll sleep til 9 but not often.

 

I'm the world's lightest sleeper. I own an alarm clock; but pretty much wake up 5 min before it goes off. Molly checks up on me 2-3 times every night, wakes me every time.

 

A friend of mine posted this a couple days ago...yeah, it's very often accurate for me.



On days I run, my alarm goes off around 6:15. This week, I've been sleeping until 7:45 or so (back to the grind on Monday.) I hit snooze a few times-- I use my old flip phone as an alarm, and when it goes off, I stick it under my pillow or under my stomach to muffle the sound. Bit of a snuggle with the pups before I finally get up and let them outside. Then it's time to hit the shower (or run, then hit the shower, as the case may be.) I usually take around 30-45 minutes to get ready if I'm not rushing. We share the bathroom in the mornings, which can slow me down, but we've gotten a pretty good system worked out by now. I'll do a quick breakfast of oatmeal or a protein drink, and have my coffee when I get to work.

On the weekends, I don't set an alarm, and usually wake up sometime between 11 am and 1 pm. On Saturdays, I'll let the dogs out, then snuggle back under the covers to read. On Sundays, Eden makes pancakes.

 

@snowy ~My wake up routine is the same as yours; I mean exactly the same.
I set an alarm on my iPad that wakes me to a different song everyday.

The song I love to wake up to the most is currently this one:

 

Most mornings, I wake around 4 am, roll over and peek at the clock, chuckle and go back to sleep until my first alarm goes off at 5:20. I poke the snooze until @ 6, then drag myself to the bathroom. I'm usually ready to leave the house by 6:20, but end up waiting for QW until almost 6:30. We have a 20-25 minute drive to where I typically have some pancakes and she has either oatmeal or French toast. It's a nice together time for us.

Sunday is the only day I get to sleep in. I'm usually up by 9 or 9:30.

 

About 5:00 am on weekday mornings, using alarm clocks (a necessary evil) only because my wife leaves the house around 5:45. On weekends it varies, depending on what plans we have.

 

These days, I am up every weekday morning at 6am. I usually wake up before the alarm.

I get up and make a coffee and make sure that my wife and daughter are out of the house by 6:30.

I then spend about an hour and a bit catching up on TFP, the news, etc. and am in the shower by 7:45 or 8:00. I am out of the house by 8:15 at the latest. I have breakfast most mornings with my colleague at 9:30.

If I am riding to work, I am out of the house at 6:30 with my wife and it takes me about 30 minutes or so to get to work (give or take). Then I read for an hour or so while I cool down (Singapore is hot and humid and I sweat). Then it's into the show at work and dressed by 8:15. I chill out until work starts at 9. Breakfast at 9:30ish.

On weekends, I usually sleep until 7 at the latest.

 

8:00 and then spam the snooze button on my alarm until about 8:45. generally, I am not a good sleeper. I am an incredibly heavy sleeper once I actually get to sleep, but it takes me so long to drift off.

 

Not on time. And it's my own damned fault.

 

I usually wake up by 2000 after 2-4 hours of sleep that passes as a "a solid night of sleep", unless my body says "hell no" and decides to crash until 2100/2115 and leaves me scrambling to make it to work on time. Occasionally that happens when my start time was 2100 and I am already 15 minutes late.
Many moons ago I vaguely recall being a daywalker and sleeping at night more than 5 or 6 times a month (or just pulling a paltry 40 hours for that matter).

 

This.

Sometimes if I've been up REALLY late, I just figure "heck, there's no point in going to sleep now" and I just stay up the rest of the hour or so until my next obligation, at which point I crash at approximately 9:00pm that night. Never fails.

 

Usually between 6:00 and 7:00, without an alarm. Luckily, I have a very short commute to work, so it gives me a little bit of flexibility in the morning.

 

Most days, betwixt 7:45 and 8:ish. Mrs Moose's alarm goes off around 7:45. She works from home, so all she really has to do is sit up and turn on her computer. The younger son typically wakes up around that time, so that's would be when I get up to fix breakfast and keep him from crawling all over her while she's working.

 

It starts around 2 - 4 am, when secondary insomnia hits.
I typically fall back asleep until the Cat Dancing starts at 5:30... every. single. morning.
On my head.
During the week, my alarm goes off at 6. I use my cell phone with a relatively quiet alarm.
On the weekends, if it's not a Farmer's Market Day,
I get up when I can't stand the King of the Hill contest on my head any longer,
feed the wild beasts, then go back to sleep, if I can.
Maxwell typically comes in to thank me and curls up next to my head, instead of standing on it.
Sometimes, like this morning, he'll come and curl around my arm and love on me for awhile.
I'll get up between 8 and 11, if it's a good day. Otherwise, I'm not able to fall back asleep.
I find that the AT&T Stargazer or something ring tone is just enough to not piss me off when I'm waking.
