Now that I'm working more at my friend's preschool, I have to get up at 6 AM most mornings. I actually enjoy it--it reminds me of the days when we'd get up at about 5:30 to stack hay up in Montana before it got hot.
Here's a picture of the sunrise the other morning, when the haze from the fires to the North was still pretty thick. The sky should have been blue. Do you like waking up before the sun?

Only if the sun doesn't come up until noon.

@TheHorse That sounds about right, since it's been still dark when I come out of the Y at that time. It's different having to turn my lights on when I leave the Y. Signs of the times. Winter is coming. Soon we'll be turning those clocks, and really messing up when the sun comes up.

I consider myself a night owl, Janet, but not quite where I stay up until the sun rises unless I'm working that is.

Oh coffee, I cannot start my day without my cup of coffee. While sipping my coffee I would roam around the garden to see the plants, then to our pets.

Yes, it is beautiful to wake up before the sun. Unfortunately, It wakes up to early for me as I go to bed late but don't want to get up in the morning.

No. I always woke up after sunrise. It's maybe because I am living near my office location.

I wake up a lot of the time before the sun rises, pony. Sometimes very early in the morning, like at 3 am or so. Other times I wake up with my alarm at 8:30 am.

I am usually up between 5 and 5:30 earlier if it is my babysitting day. When I was working I always had the earliest and longest run so I was up early. I like being up early, I get more done that way.

If I happen to be up before the sun I like to see the sunrise or the clouds and the colors as the sun rises. But, I don't particularly like to be up that early, no. I tend to be a night owl. I wasn't allowed to stay up late when I was young, and Id on't remember how late I stayed up once I left home, but as I got older it was easy staying up until mid morning if I could sleep in until nine or ten or so.
I have worked jobs where I had to be to work at seven am, but I shy away from those when I have the choice in the matter.
I did happen to be up before the sun recently since I had to work the midnight shift at my cashiering job. In fact, when I left on Monday morning a few other workers that just left were commenting on the sky. I looked and it looked rather gray to me until I got in my car and looked toward the sunrise. I'm going to try to find my picture of that morning.

Usually I used to wake up at 5:30 AM .Its because I am having lectures at 8 .I have to be inside the college campus at 7:30. I will board the bus usually between 6:20 or 6:30. If I left my college bus I would get in trouble .So I usually wake up at 5:30 to 5:45.
