Yes and no. I don't have a time I need to be up during the week so I wake up when the good lord deems it so. Usually I'm awake by 8-9am and during the week I will typically get out of bed then. On the weekends we tend to stay in bed until 10-11am depending on what time we went to sleep and how nice or shit the day is. Although some weekends we get up earlier if she wants to go to the farmers markets.

I tend to wake up earlier in NC than I do in FL. I'm already falling back on old habits here in FL where I will stay up until 2-3am then not wake up until 11am. Haven't gotten there yet, but already going to sleep at around 12-1am where I've been going to bed by 11pm in NC. I think it's because I have my office here and my gaming PC so I end up gaming all night or going down YouTube rabbit holes for hours. Not much to do at night in NC so I go to sleep.

No. Early to bed, early to rise.

Besides, our cat gets us up at 5:45 every morning.

My eyes open every day at 4:00 am regardless of what time I go to bed. I try and go back to sleep on the weekend but normally fail. If I do and make it till 5 or 6 it’s a win. During the week, I’m out of the house by 6:15. This is one of the reasons I hate fall back clock change. It takes me at least a month to adjust which means I’m awake at 3:00. What happened to the days when the only time I saw 4:00 am was at the END of the day/night. Get off my lawn!

It's an interesting topic, sleep i mean. I have struggled most of my life, certainly the last 5 years have been extra tough with the CPAP as it is annoying to sleep with.

On weekends i try to grab an extra hour, it is odd though, my body clock all my life has preferred a late bed time and late wake up, say 12am to 8am, tried for months on end to train myself to push that forward 2 hours but just cannot do it.

Same here. I could go to bed at 10PM and fall asleep, but I'd still feel like crap if I got up before 7 or 8. OTOH, I can go to bed at 1AM and wake up at 8 and feel fine. That 7-8 hour just seems to be my preferred time to wake up, regardless of when I go to bed.

Two decades ago, I took a long holiday weekend trip from NY State to London. In preparation and to avoid jet lag, I slowly shifted my awake hours over a month until I was on London time. It meant coming home from work and going straight to bed at the end, but it worked out well in the end.

Ironically, my old age sleep schedule these days has my days running closer to UTC than EDT.....

Pre-pandemic, we'd travel to the UK every other year for a conference Wifey attends. Then we'd stay an extra week or so to tour around. There's one flight from O'Hare to Heathrow that leaves O'Hare around 8AM and gets into Heathrow around 10:45PM. By the time we get through customs and get to the O'Hare Hilton, it's near midnight there. But the bar and restaurant at that hotel is open late, so we go there and grab dinner since it's the right time for that by our internal clocks. Then we surf the web and such for an hour or so and finally hit the sack around 1:30-2:00AM London time, which is still early for us. We get up mid-morning and go grab breakfast at this huge buffet they have, then we either go pick up our rental car or we hire a car to take us into London proper. No jet lag.

Went to bed around midnight last night. It started pouring here in the wee hours, so I threw in some ear plugs because the rain was loud on the roof. I slept like a log until Wifey came in and rousted me out of bed at 10AM. I hardly ever sleep that late. Something about having total silence with the earplugs in lets me sleep longer. No noise from birds or traffic or whatever to wake me up. Gonna be tough getting to sleep tonight, though.

I was trying to sleep in this morning until my youngest came in and started shaking me saying he was hungry. I told him to grab a bag of chips and I hit the snooze

This is me too. My youngest typically wakes up at 7-730 every day. His first words of the day are always "I'm hungry, can you make me food?"

I wake up at 5am every morning. The morning is my favorite part of the day. I am the most productive from 6am-10am. There is nothing better than taking a cruise on a Saturday morning to get coffee or whatever when everyone is asleep and just ripping it on the freeway

My pittie usually gets up whenever I get up, she usually doesn't have a schedule the follows. Sometimes if she really has to go potty she will get up and ask to go outside, but then goes right back to bed. But sometimes she refuses to get up and I literally have to coax her out of bed with food. It's ridiculous.

Up at 4:30am during the week for work, so sleeping in on the weekend is usually 6am.


Honestly it works perfect, the quietness and subtleness of morning's are immeasurably peaceful. Grocery shopping early is really nice too.

I don't generally sleep more than an extra hour (6:30).

BUT, come 11:30 or so, I can definitely hear my bed calling me for a nap. And being the person that I am, I oblige.

11 - 7 every single day.

I would love to do the 2 am to 7 am schedule my missus keeps. I've tried transitioning to it many times but it leaves me too foggy during the day.

So, unfortunately it seems my body needs the whole 8 hours.


Oddly, when I was in my twenties I worked the night shift 10 pm to 6 am for a few years.

To this day, every once in a while I'll pop awake at 2:30 to 3 am (that was my lunch hour) and can't get back to sleep until 8 - 8:30. Fortunately my work allows flex time so I'll just sleep in and roll in at 10 am. But next night I'll be right on my regular 11 - 7.

I'm normally up at 4:00 am M-F. Saturday and Sunday, I'm usually awake between 6-7 am. I generally stay in bed and contemplate life while the girlfriend continues to sleep. It's the only two days of the week I get more than 4-5 hours of sleep.

Oy. I'd be psychotic if I only got 4-5 hours sleep on a regular basis. Once in a while I could do that, but not for any stretch.

Over many years, I've found it's not so much how many total hours I sleep, as long as it's in increments of 1.5 hours. If I miss the normal bedtime, I'll struggle to line up the alarm with increments. 4.5 is way better than 5, if I can keep my eyes open that extra 30 minutes.

Like M-Six, I would never survive for long if it were regularly 4.5 though.

Five days straight every week for years now. This is after 10-12 hour work days and then 1- 1 1/2 hours at the gym. I'll be honest, I don't know how my body does it. This may explain some of personality though. I'm the nicest asshole you'll ever meet.
