Wake Up Call: A Crying Baby?!?

@Shavkat (140129)

January 1, 2019 5:51pm CST

I started to wake up early with the cry of a baby and that's my baby nephew's whining sound in the morning. I considered as my wake up call every morning. The day starts by nurturing him with a bottle of milk, letting him burp and sleep. Next, I fix myself a cup of coffee. Then, I prepared my clothes to wear because today is back to work. The bottom line, I don't need to set my alarm clock to wake me up on a daily basis.

Unlike when I am in the province, a rooster's sound can serve as an alarm clock. This my first entry for New Year of 2019. "How do you wake up early in the morning?" "Are you are an early bird?" Image Credit: media1.tenor.com/

Sometimes my body clock works before the alarm clock strikes early in the morning. Do they sound loud?

I am an early bird and I do not need an alarm clock. I wake up naturally around 6 am, sometimes earlier.

When I was still working in my previous jobs, I usually wake up so early before going to work. At present, I am working a short-term contract in a Korean Academy and I need to wake up early for more than a month.

@LadyDuck It wasn't that hard, my friend. For the reason that I am so familiar with the nature of my job.

They do bark loudly early in the morning. Are they hungry at this time?

How I wish I can do that. During my school days, I tend to wake up late on weekends.

I set an alarm by my phone and it will wake me up everyday. Actually I wake up quite early because I have to prepare for the breakfast.

If my baby nephew will come back home, I will surely back to normal in using my mobile's alarm clock. I do think that most Chinese mothers prepare breakfast for the family. Even if they are working moms.

It is a good thing that I can have brisk walking to the Korean Academy every morning. I hope I can keep it up after the end of contract working with them.

I’m retired so wake up when my body tells me to. Usually, it’s around 7:00am. When I worked, I was up at 5:00.

I'm an early bird, up before the rooster crows when it's still dark at 3 AM. I don't need an alarm. It's automatic.

I guess it is body clock kicks in every day. Do you still take a nap for the day? I think 3 AM is too early to wake up in the morning.

My mother used to do this. Now, we do it for ourselves. It is nice to wake up early and feel the coffee's aroma. Do you go to work early, too?

I wake up around 8 AM and then sometimes sleep for about an hour more. If my cat is really hungry then there is no more sleep as he meows loudly and demands his food.

It was a good thing my cats are not demanding in the morning for food. If it happens, I will surely be sleepy all day long.

@Shavkat I use an alarm clock to wake up or get up automatically before the alarm goes off. Does your little nephew wake you up with his crying everyday?
