What do you usually do when you wake up?
I don't have the habit of waking up early in the morning, but this morning was different.I wake up at around 5:45 and there outside is the early morning sun rising, what a great sight! I decided to go outside to experience the morning breeze and the early morning atmosphere that I haven't done for a long time.It was great just sitting there and letting the time pass by.I thought maybe I can do this often so I started thinking about it, and thinking, then I felt tired and sleepy so I went back inside and slept back in my cozy bed.
Goodness...it's hard to wake up early.

yes i do.. i have this habit of waking up early at 4.30. I meditate and do a little bit of yoga. I know its tough to get up early morning especially during winters. But once u make it a habit then it becomes second nature. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise..

I always wake up at 6 in the morning wether I set my alarm clock on or not. It is my habit of waking up in this specific time cause of my daily routine especially during school days. But waking up at 4:30??? Wow! Impossible for me because I am surely in deep sleep by this time. Good for you, preethaanju, you're having a good habit.

I usually get up anywhere from 7-8am. My oldest two are in school so I have to get up with them and get them ready for school. On the weekends I try to sleep in a little bit. But with 3 kids under 8 years old, that doesn't work so well. They usually make too much noise playing and fighting. I love being up early in the morning in the summer when the sun is shinning bright and it is already warm out. The air just smells so fresh and new.

I wake up early during the week because I have work. But I am planning on getting up even earlier to start trainging for a marathon. I need to get up and do the run first thing before work so I can get the first run out of the way and do another in midday. I love that the sun comes out. I love meeting the sunrise and hearing the birds. The way that the earth is just waking from sleep is so peaceful.

just like what I experienced this morning,really great spending time with nature.Now there's another reason for waking up early, training.You might be sporty for doing running before going to work.
goodluck.

It has been a long time since I woke up that early haha. I really have a hard time waking up! If I am awake by 5:45 am, probably I haven't slept yet. I have the worst case of insomnia, and what's weird about is, i cna only sleep at past 6 am, when the sun already up.

I am an early riser these days. Mostly because there is a time where I wake up because I have to use the facilities. And I am unable to get back to bed after that. Therefore, instead of trying and wasting a lot of time, I might as well just stay up. At the very least, I will be getting something productive done and thus not just aimlessly lie in bed.
I think if your body is geared for it, it will be easy to wake up early. If it is not or if you go to bed at a late time, it might be a bit difficult. I go to bed, while not early, early enough to allow me to get out of bed. At least six most of the time. Perhaps a bit earlier, perhaps a bit later, but for the most part, that is about when I get up.

I do wake up early in the morning depending on my schedule. I do rowing 3-4 times a week. When I have rowing, I wake up at 4am then, I travel to the bay. I come back home at 9:30 to have breakfast, take a shower then sleep. I wake up at 1pm after. In a regular day, I wake up at 10-11:30.

Hello grayscythe,I have the same feeling with you.I often get up lately.If it is a working day,I will get up at 8:00,if it is a rest day,I will get up at 12:00 even later.I know morning is comfortable and I also want to experience morning breeze,but it is too hard for me to get up early.

I usually sleeps at 8pm and wakes up at around 5am but since my office is just right in front of my boarding house, I often get lazy to get out of bed and I just go back to sleep so most of the time, I get wake up at 7:30am..lol its always more than 8hours of sleep a day. :D

that would really make you lazy, when your office is just in front of your house.7:30 is not very late in your case because your very near from your work but if its far and you have many things to do then 7:30 is late

Do you love darkness? Do you prefer night more than day? I think yes. Thats why you are not waking up early. Once we stop working much under the tubelight we start loving sunlight and the day also. surely we start getting up early. Cool breeze, Silent atmosphere, birds song its very nice pls try to experience it daily

Hehehehe. I always wake up early, cause I like sitting outside just enjoying the air, when all the people seems to be sleeping still and it's really quite and peaceful. Also, I have to wake up early to cook breakfast and packed lunch that I can bring to work. My body is so used to waking up early, that even on weekends, I would still wake up the same time even if I don't really have anything to do that day.

I have no choice but to get up early in the morning. If i didn't the animals would not get fed and my 13 year old daughter would surely miss the bus. I'm the family member who has to get everybody going. My day starts at 5:30a.m and keeps going until about midnight. Then it can start all over again.

When ever i wake up by mistake or due to some situations, i feel the same thing, but when it comes to the next morning again, i never keep my words of waking up again. The morning is refreshing and good but waking up is one of the most difficult thing to do. I usually sleep early in the morning than wake up early in the morning. I think it is healthy to wake up early.
