It's weekend again. My colleagues and I were chatting what we are doing tomorrow.
"I wake up very much earlier on weekends than on weekdays."
"That's because you are more busy on weekends." someone commented.
"Only singles can afford to sleep late" commented another.
"That not true. I wake up early only when kids wake me up."
For me, I wake up later than usual on weekends and public holidays as it is a non-working day. There is no need for me to wake up early. In fact, I can sleep till almost noon.
Friends, do you wake up later than usual on weekends and public holidays?
If no, why?
If yes, how late than usual?
Kindly share :)

Hi whyaskq. I don't wake up early in the weekends nor on public holidays. I sleep in everytime. My hubby and son let me sleep in which is great! It's always later than 9-9.30am and sometimes I have woken up and it's lunchtime LOL

You know actually it wasn't always that way when my son was smaller. Now that he is five he knows how to make his own breakfast - so I kind of exagerated there LOL

It is true, we both wake up much more earlier on weekdays than on weekends. And we really spend that time together for ourselves. We sit and discuss various matters that we cannot discuss in front of kids. But if we have a tough week we really dont get up early on Saturdays. But Sundays early morning is a time for ourself.

I generally find myself awake early, regardless of whether it is the weekend or not. I would love to indulge in a lovely long lie in, but somehow it never happens

I try to sleep later on the weekends, but its hard when your kids are trying to be early birds all the time lol. I would like to sleep until 10 because I don't have anywhere to go, and the kids have nothing to do. The kids, however, try to wake me up every morning around 8am. What is it that these kids have against sleep lmao?!?

The funny things is that my hubby and I have very different philosophies on this. So we wake up at very different times!
Hubby's philosophy is that the weekend is all his time, so he loves to wake up earlier so that he can maximise his free time,
Personally, I value sleep very much, so for weekends, I feel that I will sleep as late as i feel like. Unless I have a breakfast to go for, or a morning seminar to wake up for.., then I will sleep till i can leave at the last minute, which should still be later than a usual work day.

Unless I have errand to run that needs to be completed by noon, I will sleep till nearly noon.
That would be a good 6 hours more than weekdays.
I used to marvel at some people who insist that weekends are too precious to waste on sleeping. I guess when sleeping is a hobby than we can't exactly call it wasting time :D

When I was working in London I ALWAYS ended up getting up early on weekends and public holidays. But when I started going to the gym at 6.30am (weekdays) and 8am (weekends), it was amazing how quickly I started to 'lie-in'. Amazing how we can fool our bodies (NOT!!)

I used to wake up very early on weekends because we had no school and you want to make use of the day. But now that I am in college I prefer going out at night and just sleep in the next day.
Especially if you are really tired from the previous night.

We have a tendency to wake up earlier during weekends and holidays because it a great opportunity to have fun and be together. We usually go out during weekends and holidays or play our favorite sports. We also take the chance to do shopping together. Most of the weekends, we wake up early and sleep late, and that makes us more tired than a regular day.

Crazy?? Thats the only day get to sleep extra.. All week long I have to wake at 5 and get ready for the college. On the weekends I wake up at around 8 in the morning cos that s the usual time my mum prepares the breakfast and I just have to have a small trip to the bathroom to have the bath and then I'm on the table to have whatever is cooked.
Waking up early depends on many a factors. I usually sit up late at night if i know theres gonna be a holiday the next day. or may be sleep early and get up early and go to play Basketball with my friends.
