I get up between 5 and 6 every morning. I just like getting up early every day. My husband gets up later than I do, but I enjoy the quiet in the early morning.

My in-laws get up at 5 and meet friends early at Shoneys for breakfast and usually go back and take a nap watching morning TV. I think our sleep patterns are the habit we have gotten into. We wake up on the weekends the same time we do on work days but without the alarm.

Generally I go to bed around midnight and wake up around 7AM. A good , undisturbed nights sleep. If I go to bed early I wake up in the middle of the night so I prefer to stay up later so I sleep until a reasonable time. When i was working I had to get up between 4:30AM and 5AM , depended on the weather. Even on my days off the dog was used to getting up to go out at 5AM so she woke me up anyway. Sleeping until 7 feels like a luxury.

My DH goes to bed around 9PM and sleeps until I wake him at 7 . I don't understand how he sleeps so many hours every day.

Another early bird here, up by 5:00 or earlier every day, and not having to get to work. We have three kitties that are used to me being up by then. I get up, have my coffee and do my morning devotions and whatever other quiet things I like until DH gets up. In the evening I'm upstairs watching tv by 7:30 or 8:00, but not usually asleep until an hour or more later.

My brother is the same way, as was our dad. One added benefit for me is seeing all of the of wildlife around here early in the morning. Deer, bear, all sorts of birds and critters keep me company and I love them. We live in the mountains, in a very rural area, which is why we're so blessed with all of these friends. I hope my current schedule never has to change, as I love it! pinky

I wake up every day, on my own, between 4:30 and 5:30. I go to bed very early though.

Always up early ... Between 5 and 6. DH sleeps in and my Lab sleeps in her kennel. No one is allowed to get up before 6 am after I've had my coffee haha. I love mornings. I used to walk in the dark in winter but, with all the coyotes and bears around, I had to give that up. LM

I have a cat who would like to be up in the 4:00 hour.

My alarm goes off at 5:30, but I would like to get up at 7:00. Unfortunately, I have to be at work by 7:30 so I leave by 7:00 each day.

I'm always up early.....sleeping in is about 5 AM for me.

I think I've got everyone beat! I'm in bed every night by 7:30 and I'm up by 3am! I've been doing this for years but can't remember exactly when it started. sometimes, I'm in bed by 5:30 pm cause I'm really sleepy! when i get up at 3, I drink coffee first thing then get a good workout on my bike. on weekends though, I get up at 5.

Im up everyday at 4am and go to be around 8:30pm, 9pm at the latest.

I have a daughter with autism and she used to get up every morning at 3am, no matter what. She is 18yrs old now, and 4am is when she gets up now. We've only gained 1 hour in 18 yrs! LOL.

Sometimes i may take a nap for 30 minutes/1 hour, if i can. Not much more, or i cant sleep at night then. I have back problems as well and cant lay a really long time.

Tho, when all my kids were younger, i would love getting up way before then, just to have an hour or so of "quietness" before the day began. It is really nice, super early in the morning.

Cant stay up late anymore tho. Even if i try and stay up late, even if its just past 10pm, i still wake up at 4am. Just my internal clock now, i guess. Tho, really dont mind.

Funny thing, when i was young (maybe 10?), my mom was a baker at a country club and she had to go in around 2am, to do her baking. So, maybe way back then, my body starting training for those early hours! LOL! (yep, she would actually take me with her, while she baked, if there was no one to watch me. I would go back to sleep most of the time, on one of the couches. This was back in the early 70's) It was actually kind of fun!
