When do you get up?

[rustylady]

Know what you mean Bren. The same applies to going to bed. I used to stay awake till they were all in. Now I'm on my own I go to bed when I'm tired.

No more reason to get up before 6.... No more hydrotherapy sessions...

Feeling very sorry for myself just now. I'll be back to normal tomorrow.

It really isn't that early - I have trouble staying awake past 9 pm, but I am usually up around 5. 30. I believe our forebears used to go to bed when it got dark, and woke when it got light.

By the time I've got in from work, done a few jobs, made and had my tea then it's usually about 8 to 8.30 so I want to have a bit of evening watching TV / reading etc before I go to bed but as long as you find time to do what you need to do without getting overtired then all is good

5:45am is my wake up time.
I was told just the other day about a kinda light that slowly gets brighter (little like a false dawn) it was designed to be just that! dont know what it is called or who makes them though - sorry - not much help really.

Our alarm goes off at 6.00am. We have a bit of a snuggle until 6.08 (when the snooze goes off for the second time), then I'm up and out of bed like a shot. Showered and hair-washed by 6.20 (6.30 by the second clock, which we keep 10 minutes fast). Then make-up, hair dried and straightened, and dressed by 7.25 (aka 7.35), which is when the 'Time to Leave the House' alarm starts going off!!

In the winter I can only manage this early morning activity by having a lamp plugged into a timer, which switches on about five minutes before the alarm goes off. I find it less of a shock getting up with the light already on.

OH's alarm goes off at 6:15am. He tries to wake me up at 6:24 am, I eventually move at about 6:35-6:40am.

Dressed, decent and lunch packed by 7am. out of the front door by 7:05am at the latest. on 7:10am train to london.

Can save loads of time on that in the morning by not doing make up or hair straightening (the thought of that in the morning before work makes me shudder) so it's straight out the shower, 5 mins with a hairdryer on the mornings I wash my hair, throw on the clothes I've put out the night before and downstairs in about 10 mins. Quick cuppa (making butties while it's cooling) and bowl of cereal, brush of teeth and out the door within an hour of waking up

For the last 20 years of my working life i was up about 4-30 and off down to the wholesale fruit market to buy the best stuff for our shops. So i still retire early at night and awaken at 4ish. In the summer i am often down the garden or allotment by 5 am to do the watering, or slug and snail crushing.. Its how my body clock still works even though i can lake in bed as late as i want. In the winter i get up and do my writing most mornings.

I get up at 6am every morning put in 30min workout video & a quick shower, then head off out the house for 11-12 hours 6 days a week. My motivation to get out of bed, my health i know i could grab an extra hour in bed but i'm normally so exhausted by 9:30pm that i might as well go to sleep & get a good 8 hours in than resist it just so i can get up later.

Up at 6am everyday including weekends.............like everyone says, it's the old bodyclock used to been up at the same time for so many years....Be careful Pisk running in these dark mornings, don't forget some high viz. Don't want you posting from a hopital bed.
