Hello friends.....
HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE GETTING UP EARLY IN THE MORNING???
I guess most of the people like spending their holidays sleeping on their bed..I know its the most pleasnat thing to do after a tiring week of job.. But still wonder if you have to get up early in the morning on the weekend too?
About me.. i find it difficult to get up early in the morning not only on the weekends but on the weekdays too.. But still i am managing it any way..
By the way .. I can still leave my hours of sleep if i have tio get up early in the morning for playing Tennis or Cricket.. What are your priorities.. What can make you give up your sleep for something you prefer doing more???

I also find it hard to wake up early in the morning, but I need to so as not to be late at work.
I also knew that the best hour for sleeping is from 10pm-6am, so waking up early would also mean safeguarding ones health...

I didn't know that getting up late would risk our lives. I think you took it very seriously. I agree that proper sleeping hours should be maintained for proper helth but there isin't any restriction on the timing.
Anyway. even i have to get up early for the office

Yes I find it difficult to set up early in the morning at most times especially when I have slept late and the weather is cold and conducive for sleeping. I am a night person, meaning, my brain and body works better at night or late in the day so I usually sleep late. And sleeping less than 4 hours a day makes it hard to wake up in the morning. However, there are days when it seems that I can get to get up fast when needed. Its I guess a matter of conditioning my brain to what I will be doing the next day.

Hi,
I would sleep longer if I have more time.. but regrettably I must get up early and go to the work. I broke of long sleep because my day mode is: 3-4 hours for the rest and other time is committed for the job.
There are times when I can sleep longer and it's the festival for me..but it is very rare time..

I'm not sure if I like getting up early in the morning but I do usually get up around 6:30 each day. On the weekend, I try to sleep in a little but I still wake up around 7:30 or 8:00. I am used to waking up a little early for work and other things I like to do (such as check MyLot) and it's easier to get some things done early since the day gets really busy by 9 or 10 each day. If I could, I would try to sleep in more on the weekend but I can't seem to sleep any longer than 8 or 9.

So you don't find it difficult at all to get up early in the morning. U must be in a habit. Thats nice. Atleast you have some incentives behind it. The environment is beautful i must say. the dew over the grass and the view of the rising sun and freshness in the air is remarkable

It depends on what you call morning. I'm up till about 3 or 4 am everyday. I don't wake up until at least 11 am! But when I do have to be places in the WEE hours of the am I try to get to bed a tad bit earlier say around 2ish. After I'm up and going I usually function pretty good. I always sleep till the last minute tho, but I'm rarely ever late for anything surprisingly. Thank goodness for alarm clocks. That brings up another point. I don't wake up to the normal beeping of a alarm clock. I have to use my cell phone and or my metal one that hammers on the bells old school style.

Alarm Clocks.. They haven't done any good to em either. I get up only after snoozing the alarm in my mobile atleast 2 times before getting up. Even i have the same habit. I can be awake till late night and perhaps get up early if required.

my, rather our sleep timings differ according to our jobs, sometimes we work in days, somtimes at night...so the sleep time depends on the shift time...i love walking up in the morning, breathing the cold air in the morning, but my body is so lazy that never wants to get out of bed, the only one who can get me up is Rhea

Hey that happens. with ur child, u may have to wake up whole night just bcoz ur kid is.. So you don't have any fixed timings for ur job..depends on the shift or the client?
anyway, I have recently developed a habit (not really a habit, but trying to be regular) to get up early in the morning at 6 and go for gym. Have done it thrice this week. Hope to continue it tomorrow. So, i usually go to sleep at 12 at nyt..

I dont find it hard getting up in the morning, or getting up at any given time whenever i am sleeping.
I wake up easily, when you call out my name, i would be awake on the second time you say my name. I guess i am a light sleeper. It rarely happens that i sleep and really have no idea of what's going on around me.

Thats good !! By the way what happens the first time when someone calls out your name ? Well i could tell you the incident that happened with me last nyt.
My cousin had gone home and he was to return yesterday nyt. I had to receive him from a place since i had his bike at 12 in the nyt. when i called him up at 11pm his phone was switched off since he must have been in a flight. And incidentally i feel asleep. I suddenly wonke up at 12:30 to find 3 missed calls from my cousin. I slept so sound that i could not even my mobile ringing kept beside me. I felt sorry about that. So even i had no idea what was going around?

I like to wake up early in the morning. i do not just spend my holidays sleeping on beds. rather i like to do the work that i can't catch up other days due to job. i think when you wake up early, the day is bigger for you to spend. just don't need to rush after anything.

i must say that you have developed a very good habit.
I mentioned that when i have something more interesting to do or to spend my time in, i don't have any problems getting up early in the morning. But when you know you don't have any schedule for the next day , y should i get up early then..

I didn't say anything about your getting up at 3am ..Mrs lisa..its good that u enjoy getting up that time.. Nothing in personal.. but still i consider it night only..with the moon and stars still there in the sky...

I think thats the problem with everyone.. I hardly find people who like to get up early in the morning. But sometimes work may pressurize a person like to me to be there in office at 8:30 in the morning. Its good to see that u don't feel any pressure. But is there anyting for which you can get up early in the morning by your own will?

Hello Vipul,
You have not mentioned any toimings. I don't know what time you consider early morning. I get up at 6.30 am daily and not before that. If I go to sleep late then also I wake up around the sametime. Week ends is no different. Once your body accepts that change you'll get up automatically. I have to go to bed around 10 pm mostly by 10,30. Only then I can get up fresh at 6.30, if not I won't look or feel fresh at all. I can never sleep during the day time too. So night sleep is very very important for me. Do you have regular sleeping hours?

6:30 am.. well thats too early for me.. in weekdays i have to get up at 7:45 am in the morning to get ready for office and even that i find it too early..
i dont have regular sleeping hours. It ia normally 12 or 12:30 at nyt before i go to sleep. though i don't prefer to sleep in the afternoon but when you don't have anything to do what else can be done other thans sleep.that happens mostly on the weekends

Im pretty good at getting up in the morning especially when I have to go to work. Though I do rely on my alarm clock just to be sure that Im up in time.
I find that when I need to be up for work, I wait for my alarm but when its my day off and can lay in, Im always up or awake about 9am.
Why is it when you cant have a lie in, you want one but when you want a lie in you wake up early???? Is this just me or is it others aswell??
Once Im awake in the morning, I find it difficult to go back to sleep so end up getting up!

Ya that happens often. When you know that you have to get up early in the morning for some important work, then you won't feel like getting up. and when you know that you don't have any work and getting up early won't serve you any good, then you do get up early. It happened with me once, I had a sleepless night, preparing for my exam next day and though i was too tired after giving my exam, i could have gone to sleep, but i didn't. I played whole day and evening after giving my exam and went to sleep at 2 in the nyt.
and ya i also avoid going to sleep in the afternoon so that i can go to sleep at nyt on tym.
