I wake up during the week for work at about 5:30. Wife is a nurse and is out the door by 6:15, so i head to thr gym before work. Here's my issue, I wake up at 5:30 on the weekends too and it drives me nuts. Regardless of what time I go to bed on a Friday or Saturday night (I might be able to sleep in till 6:00 if I am up later), i am always up way too early. Any suggestions?
Anyone else have trouble sleeping in on days off

1- why is it too early? If your up then get up and enjoy your day if your body is saying GO.
2- Yes I do this. Probably within a 30-45 minute window of when I usually wake up. It typically feels good because it's the only time I honestly am alone in the house. Kids sleep until 9 and the wife is all over the place time wise so I enjoy that peace and quiet at home.

I've got two kids. They get up by 630-700am no matter what. That and my dog. It's hopeless to try to sleep past 730.
The ol rub and tug and roll back over... Well. After you cleanup. Don't.. Roll in it. That's a no-no.
I bet on sports to feed me, my girlfriend, and my two dogs. Have trouble sleeping in since I never get off days and my job is 24 hours per day. I actually have to work for a living, unlike 98% of the Paddock
I wake up around 4:30 (Central) every morning without an alarm every day. Clear my head on the computer, then run or bike. May pick a day to just veg. I "slept in" until 5:30 yesterday because I was going to run after work instead of before. If I'm going to get time to goof on the computer and an hour plus to exercise before I go to work, it's how I have to do it.
Krazy nailed it.
If I don't stay on a schedule then I feel like crap. So, why fight it? Enjoy it. My wife and I love to get everything done by 10-11:00 and have the rest of the day to do whatever we want.

I need 7 hours of sleep and I am good, so I really don't see what the point would be in sleeping in. Life is way to cool for me to just pointlessly lay in my bed an extra 3 or 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Now my wife needs 9 hours of sleep, so she is always running on a deficit, she catches up on Saturday, so I understand that. Basically if you're awake, your body is telling you you're done sleeping, get up.
Same here. I think your body has an internal clock that tells you to get up even though you're still tired. I drag through the day if I don't get enough z's.
