Link: Who here is a morning person? I happen to become one recently

[Mr. Potter]

I always could sleep till around 10-11 am. No longer. Once I hit mid 40's I awake around 6:50-7:15 a.m.

How about you?

If you are anything like us, especially if you are a first year, you probably wonder when it’s going to get easier to wake up for those eight a.m. classes. Well, the good news is, it actually…

I used to get up at 4:45 to hit the gym at 5, on my way to work at 6:30. Now retired, I’m rarely at the gym before 8:30. I’ll be in my car on my way to the gym by 8 tomorrow, just saying. (Life hack of mine, say on this board that I’ll do something and I invariably do it.)

 

[Karl_Havok]

I am. Like you I used to be able to sleep late. At 42 I am out of bed at 6:30 every day. Weekends included. I don’t even bother with an alarm anymore.

 

[AvgUser]

4 am every morning.
maybe I sleep in until 5 on Saturday and Sunday

 

[Classof09]

5:30 every morning with the goal to have as much as possible done before 9 when most people start their day.

 

[1995PSUGrad]

Never much of a sleeper. My last couple of years at PSU I made sure I was in bed by 11:00 each weeknight so I could get up at 2:00 AM and get to the computer lab.

My first 6 years or so after graduation, I tried to be in bed by 11:00 so I could get up at 4:30 AM to hit the gym before work.

I sleep a little more now but I am rarely in bed after 6:00 on weekends, 5:00 on weekdays.

 

[Midnighter]

No. Absolutely not. Hardest part of the Army for me….

6:50 is not early. I'm up at 5

 

[Erial_Lion]

4 am every morning.

If I'm up at 4am, it's because I haven't gone to bed yet.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Same here. Growing up I would regularly sleep in until late in the morning. However, at 48 I now automatically wake up between 4 and 6 am. It sucks!

 

[Nits74]

I average less than five hours a night.

 

[LionInTheSouth]

Up at 5 am through the week, wake up at 6:30 on the weekends, and that’s trying to sleep in.

 

[Moogy]

Mornings blow. But you get used to forcing yourself up against your natural sleep/effectiveness cycle because everyone else does it. Have to be up 5:30 to get going and then get the kids moving for school ... but it would be an awesome dream to have society accommodate those of us meant to function at night. Getting up early has never gotten "normal" for me, despite being what I do.

Out the door, momentarily.

 

[Bison13]

Im up by 6 about every day, of course thats if you dont count the 2 or 3 trips to the bathroom before that

 

[Connorpozlee]

I used to live to sleep in. Absolutely loved it. However, I’ve been working in schools for 18 years now and the schedule has beaten me down to the point that I don’t even try to sleep in anymore. If I can wake up on a Saturday or Sunday and see a 7 as the first number I consider it a massive victory. During breaks I will still fall back into my natural inclination to stay up very late (3:00 is a typical summer bedtime) but I’m still up early.

[BobPSU92]

I laugh at mornings.

When I was little, I used to spend time with my grandparents ... and noticed that grandpa was usually up quite early in the morning listening to the news on the radio and drinking coffee ... that has become my normal routine since. Normally awake before 5 am, but since I'm deaf instead of listening to the radio I read the news and posts on the McAndrew board on my laptop while drinking my coffee.

 

[Bob78]

I was a morning person throughout my working career, mostly out of necessity due to a long commute, but still so even with a 10 minute commute at the end of my career.
Now retired, I am all over the place. I can get up early, but mostly only if necessary. If I sleep in, oh well. It's nice to not have that stress of morning work obligations driving the alarm setting.

I am 57 years old.

I get up at 345 every morning. Go to the bathroom
I get up at 445 every morning. Go to the bathroom.
I get up at 545 every morning. Go to the bathroom.
I get up at 645 every morning. Go to the bathroom.

And then I start my day.

Being a morning person wouldn't suck so bad if I weren't such a night owl.

5:45 m-f

 

[wbcbus]

I love mornings, it’s a great time to go to bed.

Im not sure it’ll ever flip for me, I love being up during the night. My great grandfather was a surgeon and scheduled all his surgeries in the middle of the night. It’s genetic.

 

[PSUriseANDfire]

Me too. 18 leg surgeries later I became normal almost. Also had the Ateam nurses in icu for a month in Danville

 

[Nitt1300]

up by 5 most mornings, haven't watched a late night talk show in years
