I hate mornings. But my sleep needs have definitely changed in the past few years. I survive on about 4-6 hours of sleep per night.
I don't usually get to bed before 2am most days. Sometimes I try to be in bed by 12 or 1 but it's rare. On these 'normal' nights, I will get up at 8 (my work starts late).
Saturdays I have to get up for classes so it's like a week day really.
Sundays are my sleep-in day. Since many Saturday nights I'm out till 4am, the morning after I am usually only awake at 11am. If I wake up later than that (meaning no alarm clock), then I was really dead. If I didn't go out, I'll sleep in until 9 or 10, just to give my body added rest since I'm so busy all week. I can't get up late every Sunday, because it's essentially my only free day for everything from house chores, to writing my dissertation, to painting, to rehearsing songs, etc.
I can totally be lazy any given day and stay in bed until 12 if I want to. But I am usually semi-awake after 7 or 8 hours of sleep.
I don't know if I could ever cope with getting up at 6am every day. Ugh.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
