Being woken up by the sun: Love it or Hate it?

Hi! I think I like a bit of both. Most times even when Im not waking up or im just doing anything that I want I would really prefer it if im in a dark room, not totally dark that I can barely see but I prefer it a bit dim. I read in dim lights too. I just hope this doesnt make me dimwitted.LOL I never had any problems with dark atmosphere before but now that im mostly online for hours my eyes are starting to feel the effects. I need to work in a bit lighter than dim room in order not to squint. When I do wake up in the morning its ok for me to wake up in a sun filled room but as long as my side or I myself am not touched by the suns rays. I really do not like it when Im woken up because the sun is hitting my face or any part of my body for that matter. It just disturbs my sleep and it hurts my skin. I guess I can say that Im fine with the sunlight as long as it doesnt disturb me and it doesnt bother me at all.

Its a mixed bag really, personally, if i get a lot of sleep i dont mind being woken up naturally, its nice and refreshing, but if im not well slept, then the sun is my enemy! I do have double backed curtains, but the way they are degined it lets a pettern of light through in little bursts, so its then quite nice, it doesnt wake up unless your ready to be woken up!

I don't want it my eyes as soon as I wake up, but it makes the day go better, it the sun is shining pretty.

i like it, but then i will be a little sad as i am late. actually i wake up each day early and that too before sunrise. if a sunrise woken me up, i will think that i am late. i have to hurry up/

I don't like being woke up by the sun in my face, that's for sure but I don't want to wake up to a dark room either. Just a little light is enough but not something bright, bla! lol

I really don't like to wake up with sun in my eyes. I like to sleep with the blinds closed and we even have a blanket underneath the blinds to keep the sun out. My boyfriend's had those up there for a long time, but I'm glad he does. Our room is so dark you can't tell it's light until you peek out the window. The sun hurts my eyes as well. I know no one can see me through the window even if it wasn't covered at all because we have no neighbors in the backside of the house. That isn't the point though. Good discussion nykkee.

I am a definite morning person and love to wake up to the sun. I just wish I would wake up after the sun! I always wake automatically every morning before the sun is up.

The sun is nice to wake up to, rather than actually wake you up. I like it when I am on vacation on the East coast and get to see the sunrise from a hotel or condo balcony. It's a beautiful view over the ocean.

hi nykkee, i love to be awaken by the sun and thank the Lord for the Glory of it. Godbless us all.

If it is not daylight yet then I don't want to wake up. Early morning light is my natural alarm clock. My window faces west so I don't get morning sun shining in. I just wake up when it is light enough. I have been woken falsely by the moon when it was soon bright it was shining in on me. I don't like waking up in darkness.

I love the morning sun, I suppose this is because in England, we dont get much sunshine so any that we do get we have to love!! lol We have dark curtains in our bedroom, but the sunshine through abit at the side. I do wake up when Im ready but then I also have a busy road just by my house so more often am woken by the traffic than the sun!! I often find that when I have to get upfor work I dont want to and when I dont have to get up Im always awake early!! I can never win!! Bring on the sunshine!! Hopefully its the making of summer now!! Yippeee!!!

I like it, I guess. With it shining gives me high hopes for the day to come. If I am sad, it makes me want to get up with excitement.

I do not like the sun in my room when I wake up. We keep heavy curtains up and have even blackened out one of the windows. I want to wake up when I am done sleeping not because the sun came up. And, as you said, the sun hurts my eyes upon first awakening. Now during the day I will open the curtain and the window and let sun and air into the room but not until I am awake and up for the day.

Of course, I perfer to wake up to the sun, but during this hot summer, that is really hard for me. because of the sun rise about 5:30 at this moment, then I have to wake up around that moment! ;( Then the rest of day I feel so sleepy and lazy! that is horriable!

If your the type of person that has awkward hours of sleeping it makes sense to put curtains to darken your room so the sun doesn't bother you. If your days and nights are adjusted properly there should be no problem with waking up with the sun in your eyes. I have times to where I am not sleeping at the proper hours and I don't like the sun in my eyes either and have darkened curtains.

Hahaha I have to get up everyday at 5 am so sunshine waking me up means yay it is the weekend and I slept in!

It depends. there are days when I dont mind having the sun peeking in at me. It is very nice and relaxing though to awaken to darkened room with just enough daylight filtering through. I feel much more rested that way. (lol)

I belong to the latter group. I do not enjoy being woken up by the sun. Actually I don't like it, especially in summer when the sun wakes up early but I don't. Before, I am just struggling with the sunlight to get more sleep. Now I just made a curtain to my bed so that I won't be bother by the sun in the morning anymore. It's just great. I always enjoy dark when I want some sleep.

I hate having the bright light shining in my face in the morning. it hurts my eyes going from dark to BAM Light

The sun bothers me in the bedroom and so do the birds outside . If i go to bed early and dont toss and turn I don't mind it . If I am on vacation at the beach I love it , because I like to be up as early as possible . I dont watch enough sunrises . That is what I need to do ;) Have a good rest of the day .
