Getting Up Early?

[History_Buff]

I thought it was better to center your life around lunch, and not for reasons espoused by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. At least, eating big lunches is supposed to be better than eating big dinners.

Trust me, big breakfast is far better than big lunch. Typically involves left over though, unless you have the urge to get up and start cooking first thing.

School begins at any hour from 7:30 to 11:30. Just one more year to go and I'm finishing it, though. Which means I have to get up anywhere from 5:30 to 9:30 starting September, until June next year.

When I don't have school or something else I have to go to in the morning, I can't wake up before 11.

Since its summer vacation I go to sleep at 2 in the morning and get up at 2 in the afternoon. Roughly. It may vary.

8:00 during the week. I should get up a bit earlier considering my lectures start at 9, and it takes 15 minutes to bike to uni, but no one cares if I'm late

On weekends I listen to the radio for an hour or so, and then get up about 9:30.

I am free for sundays.I sleep a little bit more.Usually I am waking up at 07:00 am,but sundays 2-3 pm is the finest.

How come when I get up early and be productive I feel like a champion, but when I stay up late and be productive I feel like a sleaze ball?

Yes! I feel the same way! Especially on weekends, if I wake up between 8 and 8.30, I get SOOO much done during the day. I run errands, do my laundry, clean my room, get good food from the supermarket, cook, and still have time to meet friends, internets, and watch TV. If I wake up between 8.30 and 9.30, I get a good amount done during the day (I would probably get 90% of the things listed above done). Between 9.30 and 10.00 I get enough done (50% on Sat and 50% on Sun). Any time after 10 and I get NOTHING done whatsoever (which invariably means I have to do laundry, get groceries, etc after work, which isn't too bad, but leaves me less time to internets and chillax).

I don't think waking up earlier than 8 will help, though. Even on weekdays I go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 8, and I do need my 8 hours.

Also, what time do ya'll get up, both on days where you have to get up for work/school, and on days where you do not have to get up at a particular time for a particular reason.

Work: 8am
Other: depends. Average is probably 9.35.

Sometimes, I require 'other' (post 5pm).

Usually between 10 and 11. Although I like to wake up a little earlier, to prolong the day a little bit more.

 

[salty mud]

I usually wake up between 8-9 AM when I don't need to get up. Getting up early makes the day seem so much longer.

...which can be good or bad depending on the person.

Good for people like me, who have a 'normal' sleep cycle. The more I can do in a day, the happier I am.

 

[Rossiya]

I feel the same way. I feel cheated if I wake up at 12.30 or something, and only have a few hours (if in winter) of daylight left.

What about us workingstiffs that have already graduated?!

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I get up ay 6:15 on weekdays, 9:30 on Sundays. On Saturdays if I don't have anything specific up for which I have to get, I wake up around 10-11.

Operation Early Awake has begun. Got up at 4:50ish this morning and went for a run, then ate breakfast and cleaned the kitchen and my room. Then I went shopping, bought new running shoes, and vacuumed out my car. Then I played some vidya games and read a bit. I took a 1hr nap from noon-1pm. I think that shall be my new routine (except when I work day, in which my nap will be pushed to 3-4pm or so.

 

[Red Door]

My alarm goes off at 8:30, but I usually end up getting out of my bed around 9.

 

[Bill3000]

I am NOT a morning person.

 

[GinandTonic]

I've never been a morning person. I'm kind of built for a 36-hour time frame (24 hours up/12 hours sleep), so it's a cold, cruel world for me.

Sucks to be you. Im built for about a 28h day and that's bad enough.

 

[Zelig]

I'm up at 6 every day, gives me time to hit the gym, shower, and eat before work at 8:30. Weekends I'm either up at 6 or 8-9, depending on how late I up the night before.

I have to be in bed between 10-11 on weekdays this way, but it's not as if I did much productive stuff if I stayed up past then anyway.
