Do you like to wake up early?

Let's say it's Sunday. You don't have to go to work, your children are spending some time at your parents' house, you don't have any housework to do and your husband/wife won't bother you if you want to stay in bed until noon. Do you still prefer to wake up early, or you sleep until you can't take it anymore? I was always the late type. I like to go to bed late, and wake up late if I don't have anything to do on that day. Everyone in my house is like that, and since I was a little child I do that. But my grandparents, for example, wake up at 7 o'clock every single day, even if they're both retired. I can't understand them, but those are their habits. So, what about you and your family? Thank you all! :)

I am the early bird around my house, even if I go to bed late. I have to make sure I go to bed in time to get plenty of rest. I was awake at six this morning. I am just going to post to one or two people, then go for a walk. It will be too hot to do it later. I have gotten up early and sat too much at the computer all summer. I do not know if it is genetic, or training. I always got up early, even in high school, and spent extra time drinking coffee with my dad. If I stay in bed too long, my whole body hurts.

Sunday mornings are the best. I get out there, with my good trainers on, and go for a good run, no cars, no people. 6am in the morning. Heaven. My parents also both get up early, my Mum earlier than my Dad. She routintely gets up at 5am in the morning, thats an hour to early for me!

You're telling me. She's set in routine from when my Dad worked shift (been retired about 5 years or more now), yet she likes the 'quiet time' of the morning. Although come when she's on holiday, she'll happily sleep in and then resume her 5am wake ups like nothing happened!

I like to go to bed at 4AM and sleep until midday. Everyone has a problem with that. I am told that it is not normal. They make it sound like it is almost forbidden. Sort of taboo. I guess that is why it is so exciting to do. Anything forbidden is always exciting. Such is human nature. I think that people who likes to be outside, will want to get up early in order to make the most of daylight. While those who likes doing things inside like watching television and playing on the computer... will prefer doing it at night... because the daylight distract them. That is why offices don't have any windows. I find it hard to work on my computer during day time... unless I close all the curtains. I am far more productive at night when everything is quite and dark.

I'm more productive at night too, as everything is silent. I don't care about sleeping with noises around me and with the day light at all. I usually don't wake up easily, I can sleep for 8 hours straight.

I don't like to wake up early. I like to wake up in the last minute. However, I have to wake up early because I have to take my son to the kindergarten. Since I have a child, I can't enjoy sleeping as much as I like:)

I do like to wake up early and take advantage of the daylight. I am not a night person at all though I could learn to adapt if needed but prefer getting up early and going for walks and getting things done. Even if I stay up late at night, I still get up early. It is like I have a built in alarm clock inside of me. Sometimes I will sleep in late but most of the time I get up early.

You said the key word, "habits". My kids are gone at least once a month, affording me the opportunity to sleep in. As much as I look forward to it I never do. That internal alarm clock goes off and I'm up. It's still nice though. I get up, get a cup of coffee and either sit in my sunroom and read the paper in peace or watch the Sunday political shows. When the kids are home they are all up by 7am and ready to roll!

Oh, your kids are really active! Hahaha! I never did that. I could sleep for 11 - 12 hours when I was a kid, and I'd always go to bed after midnight. :)

One of my habits is get up late in the morning. During the weekend, although I have wakened up, I would like to stay in bed for another 1 or 2 two hours before getting up. However, during the school season, I won’t be that lucky. I have to get up early and help my daughter to get ready to school and then I go to work.

No friend. I don't like waking up late even if it is sunday because if I allow myself to be used by it, it will tend to become a habit. I wake up early every sunday so that I can get to church on time and assist the people their in putting things in order before the service commence. Thanks and have a nice day.

If I have nothing to do I"ll prefer staying in bed and sleep for couple of hours extra off the schedule. A problem with me from childhood is that I can't sleep for more than 8 hours, my back starts hurting. But I would love to sleep if its Sunday and I have nothing very important to do. My elder can sleep for whole day if he gets the chance. I used to have a male siamese cat as pet. As everyone know, siamese cats sleep 75% of their lives. I put a competition between my elder brother and my pet. My pet woke up to eat and my brother was still sleeping.

No I don't like to wake up early in the mornings, especially on sundays. I usually sleep in until 9:00am. On weekdays, I have no choice but to wake up early because I am still in school and the bus gets here at 6:50am. I am awake at 6:00am to get ready for school. On sundays, I can sleep in most of the day waking up only to eat....lol...I enjoy sleeping in on weekends!

I guess that's a habit.Obviously wake up early is good for our health,but most of young men don't have such good habit.Even if they get up early just since they had to work or go to school... It will be better if we do some sports every morning, but i really insist that time is not given enough for my sleep.^_^
