When Do You Wake Up?

During the winter I'll take showers at night (about to head there now) so that way I can wake up at 6:15 to get dressed brush my teeth and go get my girlfriend on the way to school... I also hate leaving the house and getting in my cold car being slightly damp from a shower.

On weekends, I usually end up waking up around 9 or 10.

For Me caffeine is severely ineffective. I can drink an espresso right before I go to bed and still be dead tired. It has almost no effect.

Same here!, it actually will relax me if I take a cup of expresso before bed! :eek:

i know how that is. i usually only sleep for about four hours straight max. then wake up every hour on the hour. i can tell my body to wake up in a half hour and it does. i dont know how it does it. but hey i think its cool.

do you have a lot of tension though? when im overly stressed or my muscles are tight i can't sleep. maybe a massage? get the bf to do it. :p

I am similar in the fact that I don't need an alarm, however if need be, I can sleep 12 hours straight with no issue. I often do this once a week, as I transition from being up nights for work, to being up during the days for my days off.
 
Monday-Wednesday: 4:50 AM (for swim practice...since I'm a manager and not a swimmer, I shower and dress and all that mess before I go...practice starts at 6am)
Thursday & Friday: 7AM
Saturday: During swim season, around 5:30 AM as we generally have meets and need to meet at the school before seven. Otherwise, around 10:30 AM as I work the night before and I tend to catch up on my sleep.
Sunday: 8:30 ish AM
 
I get up around 7:30 for work every day (start at 8:30) and it seriously feels like TORTURE every single morning... I hate getting up early!!! :p

And it's not like I staying up terribly late... 11:30 or 12:00 at the latest.

It sometimes seems like I'm the only person my age (28) who still sleeps in on weekends... everyone I know always says they "can't do it", but I have NO problem and rarely get out of bed before 10:00 on Saturday/Sunday, unless I have something to do earlier in the day.

Currently, I've been getting up around 2pm, then work at 5-10pm. Gwt home rest, and work from 1-5am if I have my other work to do, and sleep around 7am. Yea, I sleep when everyone wakes up. My mom doens't like that. :rolleyes:
 
well now that school is over until jan. when i feel like it :p
When school starts prob like 12-1 my earliest class is at 10 so wake up at 9:50 and i have no class on wends and friday :D
 
I don't use an alarm clock I just wake up whenever I do, usually between 05:00 - 07:00 I'm an IT contractor so I can get to work whenever I want (and leave whenever too!). It's all good! :)

you may want to consider a new job.

what is your current one?

up round 6:45 down around now. (11)
 
My days - weekends included - usually begin at 3:30 a.m. I average 3 hours of sleep a night ... I am not all that pleased with such a schedule, but at least I can function well with it.
 
In the netherlands around 7 (depends what time I need to go to school)

Here (Denmark) I get up around 11 (so thats now, its 10.30 here). Yes, lazy life here.

Eh... I got 2 jobs. The first one is cleaning offices at night, and the second one, I get to work at home doing CAD work. So really, I guess I choose to work that late. I cooouuullldddd wake up early do my CAD work, and then go to my other job, But I'm really not a morning person, as you can tell. :)

I like doin' my work at night, it gives me no distractions. I won't be tempted to just leave and go do sumthin' else, since it's so late.

But stayin' up late is a bad habit, good thing I'll have school in the Spring to get me back on a "normal" sleep schedule.
 
Here's the schedule:

Wakeup: 5:30
Breakfast: 5:35
Shower: 5:40
Get Dressed: 6:05
Computer: 6:05-6:40
Leave for School: 6:40
Get to School: 7:00
School: 7:00-2:20
Homework: 2:30-3:15
Free Time: 3:15-11:00

SLEEP after that.

Why? I mean why wake up so early and spend 35 mins on the computer?

I do that as well. In fact, that's what I am doing right now. :p

I enjoy my mornings, and don't like to have to rush around and leave right away. This way I can get ready for work, take my time, check my e-mail/MacRumors/etc. and all that good stuff. And I know myself and amacgenius are not alone. :cool:
 
I wake up...

probably at 6:45 am when the first alarm goes off, but I hit the snooze button 2 or 3 times depending on how tired I am so it's really more like 7:05-ish to be to work by 8:00 am. My cell phone and my home phone both continue to badger me until I actually get up and I have an interesting back-up alarm also...my cat will start talking once he hears the first alarm or wait until I open my eyes and jump up onto the bed to say Good Morning. :D
 
Never later than 7am and never in bed before 2/3am the last couple of nights have been 03:30am.

*Got to get more sleep*
 
I can't keep a schedule.

This morning I woke at 3:00. Yesterday I woke at 1:00. So this week I will probably be able to show up for work at the regular hours 8:00-16:45.

Usually, the time that I'm able to fall asleep shifts from day to day. When I try to fight it, I eventually get sleep depravation and end up caving in and sleep up to 16 hours followed by days of chaos.

I'm such a mess when it comes to sleep and schedules.
 
I wake up at 6:00 and I'm at "work" by 6:10. I write for 40 minutes before everyone comes down for breakfast. Kids leave for school at 7:20 and I write for another hour or so before taking a shower.

I usually finish my "important" writing by noon, then work on correspondence, paperwork, blogging, less important projects, until the kids come home at 3:40. After that, no more work -- generally I work out while the kids do their homework, then surf the web, etc., until dinner at 7. Then I watch TV with the family until the kids' bedtime at 9:00. Then sip wine and talk with my wife until bedtime, 11:00 to 11:30.

Of course, that suggests that now I'm supposed to be doing "important" writing. I am, I am. I'm just taking a little break to collect my thoughts ;)
 
Somehwat on topic, I have always found the concept of the "snooze button" to be quite amusing. You set the alarm for the time you want to get up, yet when the alarm does indeed go off at that time you yourself specified, you hit this nice, conveniently big button to postpone having to get up. Just seems like an invention designed for a lazy person. If you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, then get up at that time! If you know you're not getting up until half an hour later by hitting the snooze button multiple times, what's the point? Just set the alarm for that later time in the first place!

I guess some people aren't morning people and need a lot of time to wake up, (this is a foreign concept for me), but it has still always struck me as a silly invention regardless.

Kay, I'm done my rant. ;) :cool:

Haha its nice how you tell this. I am a real "snooze button person". Like this morning the alarm was set on 9 o clock. I hit the snooze button a few times (it goes of every 10 minutes) and I was up at 10.30. This means that I hit te button 8 times :eek: Really not a morning person....

But the point is (normally when I hit it only once) that I always want to sleep a little longer. If you get up at the right time, you have to get up imidiately. When you can sleep 10 minutes longer, its easier :p
