Why I Get Up Early on Weekends But Hard to Do It on Weekdays?

Do you also automatically wake up early on weekends when you need not do it, but is so sluggish and could not wake up so early on weekdays? I have to use an alarm clock to wake me up at 4:45 .m. on weekdays. It is really hard to get up because I still feel so sleepy. But I have to, because my son would be late for work if I did not cook his breakfast. He leaves so early for work. But on weekends, I wonder why I automatically wakes up so early! Could it be because am so excited about the weekend or it just became a habit?

I'm the same as you. I think it becomes a habit.

Looks like the body is setting its own clock.

Expecting something nice and pleasant would always make me wake up early. I wake up early when there are field trips and outings since I was young but sluggish on ordinary days, think it's the same reason for a lot of people

It is true! When we are excited, we could hardly sleep or we wake up so early!

This happened to me a lot before my daughter was born, but now I got used to waking up early any day of the week. On certain days of the week, I go to sleep very late and wake up at sunrise. The animals I have at home, have become accustomed to the schedule that I wake up every day.

So your animals will also wake you up; maybe they are already hungry.

It is because waking up at that time has become a habit. We wake up at 5 a.m. most of the time, I do not need an alarm.

I can totally relate. It is because we dread going to work.
