Just curious cause a lot of my friends here are morning people. Lol. I usually wake up around 9:30 but I still give myself an extra hour before I stand up and do my morning rituals. So, I'm usually up by 10:30. Haha... Well, I work late till 2 am so, cut me some slacks here. If I sleep late, I have to wake up late also. How about you guys, what time are you up?

My infant daughter wakes me up every morning faithfully either crying softly or calling my name!! We are both up between 8 and 9:30 every morning even on sleep-in days.

I really envy you. 9.30 is the luxury I have only on Sundays as I do not have to work. On other days, the ability to sleep until 7.30 is already a bonus. This is disregard the time I sleep. 7am is the time I need to wake up, whether I like it or not.

I love the peace, the quietness, the fresh uncontaminated air and the cool morning breeze just before dawn. I normally try to wake up around this time and with my hot white coffee to a refreshing start of the day. Sometimes it's hard to when I have to sleep late because waking up late takes a longer time to refresh. And when my mood is down lifting it up is even harder. If I could I would wake up around the usual time I normally do and then beat the pillows again a few minutes later.

I work nights, so I get up at about 17:00, and get to work for 19:00, getting home in the morning for around 08:00.

I have to be in Office at 9 am every morning. And it takes me more than an hour to reach office. So I have to be up and awake at 5.30 am so that I can prepare my lunch and finish all my housework before I come to Office. I usually sleep around 11 pm.

Within the past month or so I have been waking up around 4:30 in the morning wide awake so I have started getting up and doing things in the early part of the morning. I have found that the time in the early mornings has been good for me because everything is quiet and I have some alone time to relax and I can take all the time I need to wake up and get ready for the day. By the time the day starts I am fully awake and ready. I even have some time to work on one of my projects if I want to. I have found myself in the garage working at sunrise on one of my woodworking projects. This time to myself has been very good for me. I find that the day is better when I get up early and it doesn't really affect my bedtime although I have found that I am finding myself going to bed just a little earlier than before.

Well, since my cellphone is set to wake me @ 6:05 am (that b/c I have school age kids) thats it then.lol I'm up up at 6:30 though, and even if I don't go to sleep until 2-3 o'clock in the morning. I look at it this way, "I'll get ALL the Sleep I WANT WHEN I DIE"!!LOL

Usually I woke up at 6.00.A.M, I really feel comfortable if I woke up early in the morning and I have to do my daily work.

I am a late sleeper, also, as you are, but only because I stay up late at night, usually on the computer. I am usually up at 10am but occasionally it is later than that depending on how well I slept, when I went to bed and whether I have anything planned for the day. I know I have NEVER been a morning person and can't see that I ever will be. Night is so peaceful to me.

Since the summer has started it has been 9:00 in the morning because my daughter has swim practice at 10 in the mornings. I'm not a morning person and I've never been a morning person, however, my habit of staying up late and waking up late has never gone more toward a usual schedule since I used to work third shift when my daughter was a baby. I think that once you've worked an off shift like that you are never really able to return to normal.

I wake up at 5 in the morning. That's because I have to be at work at around 8 a.m. Since my house is from a suburban province near the city where I work, I allot at least 1 hour for travel time, and another 30 minutes for traffic. However during weekends I wake up late and catches up on sleep. Weekends are rest days, after all. :)
