s/o: What time do you get up?

[chocolatechip]

The breakfast thread got me wondering when everyone gets up. 

 

If you get up in between hours, just choose the even hour closest to the time you tend most often to err towards. 

 

 

[maize]

Between 6 and 7 most days. I've never been able to sleep in, even if I stay up late. I have more energy in the morning than any other time so it's a good time to get things done.

[TracyP]

I get up at 5:30. DH gets up at 5 and his alarm wakes me fairly often, so I voted 5:00.

[DragonFaerie]

If left to my own devices, my natural body clock has me sleeping from about 2 or 3 am until about 10 am.  So I voted for 10 am as my natural wake up time.  But, when we're schooling, I set the alarm and get up by 7:30 so or in order to get school finished earlier rather than later.

[Critterfixer]

Most mornings between six and seven. Sometimes it is closer to six, but the days are getting longer so it's trending toward seven lately. 

On Fridays and Saturdays it is 5:30.

[MiMi 4under3]

School year or summer?

 

During school it's 6:00-6:15. 

 

During the summer it's more like 7:30-8ish.

[KRG]

During the school year it's in the 6:00 hour.  This summer my little one has managed to sleep anywhere from 7-9:30.  I've really enjoyed the 9:30 days!

[TammyinTN]

This week I'm getting up at 6 to be out walking by 6:30 and back home by 8am.  

[AlmiraGulch]

During the school year I always got up at 6:15 to make sure DD got up.  She's staring middle school this year and will be responsible for getting herself up, so I don't have to do that anymore.

 

I've been waking up at 6:45 for the last week or so and that's a good time for me.  I voted 7:00.  

[Joker]

I'm up about 7am during the summer. Dh is always up at 6:30am so I try to see him off in the morning. During the school year, we're all up at 6:30am. Youngest is in middle school and leaves at 7:20am. This year will be a bit different for us though because oldest will be in high school and won't have to leave until 9am.

[SKL]

Because I have kids, I get up around 7am (targeted) (if my work duties don't require me to get up earlier).

 

If I didn't have kids or a pesky work schedule, I would probably sleep until noon-ish every day.

[dirty ethel rackham]

Between 6:30 and 7 most days.  My husband leaves the house by 7 and once he goes downstairs, the dog expects a walk and breakfast and lets me know (usually starting with a soft whine and getting louder if he doesn't hear me get going.)  On weekends, we can stretch it to 8 am. 

[ocelotmom]

4:45 on workdays, 6:45ish on other days.

[ScoutTN]

School year or summer?

 

During school it's 6:00-6:15.

 

During the summer it's more like 7:30-8ish.

 

Me too.

[Pawz4me]

I usually get up between 4:30 and 5:00.  Weekdays, weekends, summer -- all the time.  It's when my internal alarm clock goes off.

[displace]

Usually I have strange hours: bed early or late. Sleep through the night or up for a few hours in early am. But my preferred time is early to bed, early to rise.

[abacus2]

I voted 9 as that is my prefer time. My natural body rhythm is bed at midnight ish, wake at 9. This doesn't work with my many morning scheduled activities. I have tried many times to implement a wake at 7 routine, but I struggle.  

[Sun]

I'm incredibly happy that no one has chosen 4 a.m. That just sounds too horrible to contemplate.

[Farrar]

I optimistically chose 8.

 

But realistically, it's often closer to 9.

[HRAAB]

During the school year, I get up between 6 and 7.  This summer it's ranged anywhere from 7 to 9.

 

For years I got up between 4:00 and 4:30 since dh got up and went to work around 5:00.  Then one day I stopped.  There are other ways to be a devoted wife.

[Ali in OR]

During the school year I have to get up at 5:45 to get my treadmill in before I get my disabled kiddo up, ready, and on the bus at 7:15. My cat learned very quickly that I wake up at 5:45, and that's when he begins to walk on me and get in my face (he's really kind of sweet about it). So now in summer there is no reason for me to be up that early, but it is very hard to retrain the cat. I've got him up to about 6:00 now, but can't seem to get him to sleep in much later. And once I feed him I don't go back to sleep, so I may as well get up.

[regentrude]

6:30. I have class at 8am and need to leave the house at 7:30am. I like having enough time not to be rushed, to eat breakfast and drink two cups of coffee and talk to DH before I get ready.

[Luanne]

I couldn't vote since what time I get up varies from day to day.  If I could get up when I want to... it would be between 8 and 9.  Sometimes I have to take my daughter to work before that and sometimes I have a doctor appointment to go to.

[MolleenCarie]

My body likes to sleep from 10-5.

[Excelsior! Academy]

I usually get up between 4:30 and 5:00.  Weekdays, weekends, summer -- all the time.  It's when my internal alarm clock goes off.

 

What time do you go to bed to wake at this time?

[Desert Rat]

Usually around 5:30. I voted 6. My dh is up by 5ish. I get up as he's leaving around 5:30-5:40 to workout and get a few minutes of alone time before waking the kids up at 7. I work in the afternoons, so we need to get going in the morning to fit in school. 

I like mornings.

[Baseball mom]

I generally wake around 8am & go ahead and get up.  Several days (or at least 1 day a week)  I would love to sleep in another hour or 2 but I feel guilty if I do.  I don't know why I feel guilty but I do.

[Jen in PA]

5 or 5:15 on weekdays. I can often sleep in until 6 one day per week, but that might disappear this school year.

[Splash]

I wake up naturally with the light so early in summer, later in winter.  Currently I'm awake between 5 and 6.  Winter more like 6-7.  We have a puppy and he likes to go outside by 5:30.

 

[swellmomma]

1 hour before I have to leave for work.  This morning I had to get up at 430am, tomorrow will be 530am, and Tuesday will be 8am.  8 am is generally the latest I get up, though sometimes after a long week of early morning busy shifts I indulge and sleep until 9-10 on my day off.

[Mandylubug]

We alter our schedule to better align with DHs schedule. I voted 10. There have been times its been 11. We dont start our studies until 1pm usually. Kids awake till midnight. I'll be up till 2am

[Tammi K]

My kids have to be on the ice at 8:15 and the nearest rink is currently 40 minutes away. So, we leave the house at 7:20 every week day morning. I could get up later, but I HAVE to wash my hair before I set foot out the door. Never mind that there is no one who would care if I took a shower a few hours later and that after it's washed, I pull it back in a pony tail. It's just my personal weirdness that won't let me leave the house unless it is freshly clean.

[NoseInABook]

When my kids are waking me, it's around 8am. During the summers, when DH is home to get up with the kids, 9:30am.

[Carrie12345]

I get up when I get up. :001_smile:

 

There are times when I have to set my alarm, but not routinely, and not always the same time.

[foxbridgeacademy]

We're currently on 2nd shift (DH) and trying for 1st shift for DD to get ready to attend PS soon, so it could be anywhere from 6am to 2 pm.  Depends on who needs my attention the most.  And yes, I do feel like I'm slowly going crazy from the weird, forever changing schedule.

[momto10blessings]

6:30- 7:00

 

I'm so jealous of those people who voted 10:00. I'm a night owl and a late sleeper. These kids/babies don't follow my schedule. It took me years after having kids to adjust to waking up so dang early. I still don't enjoy it

[AnnE-girl]

I voted 6:00.  I'd like to be up at 5:15 for my time to myself before the rest of the house is up, but I don't go to bed early enough.  Right now my sleep is messed up from too many late summer activities, but I'm hoping to get into some better routines in the next few weeks before the school year starts.

[Pawz4me]

What time do you go to bed to wake at this time?

 

Typically around 9:00 to 9:30.  But even if I don't get to bed until midnight, I still wake up at the same time.

[Joyofsixreboot]

5:00 due to day's work schedule. It's the only way for me to fit everything in anyway.

[Hoot]

During the school year when I'm working I'm up at 4 am. During the summer or other off days I can sleep as late as 6:30.

[Snickerdoodle]

Sleep?   What's that?

[Rosie_0801]

Not before 10C if I can help it.  :angry:

[Melissa in Australia]

5: 45 am

[creekland]

I get up between 5 and 6am every day - sometimes earlier actually - never later (unless I'm sick and that's extremely rare).  No alarm clock needed.

 

If we need to get up earlier it's never a problem to wake up earlier without an alarm clock too. My body does it all internally somehow.  All I have to do is look at a clock when I go to bed and know what time I need to get up.  I'll be up roughly 5 minutes prior to the desired time (never later).

 

Even if I were to go to bed at 3am, I'd still be up - and unable to sleep more - by 6am at the latest.  Generally I try to be in bed between 9 - 9:30pm in order to get a decent amount of sleep.  I never have an issue falling asleep at night, but I can't sleep again in the morning no matter how long I stay in bed.

 

I like it that way, so no complaints here at all.  I've always been that way too - from as young as I remember.  My parents weren't too thrilled when I was really young...

[LisaKinVA]

I'm usually up by 6am -- unless I've been kept up late too many days in a row, in which case it's better for me to sleep in than push on (grumpy, over-tired mamma is no good for anything).

[Kathryn]

It all depends on when the baby is up, but I guessed an average of 8am.

[bobbeym]

I should get up at 5a, but I normally get up at 6a, and am out of the house by 7a to be at work by 8a.

 

If I was the SAHM and DH worked, then I probably wouldn't get up until 8-9a since that's when I'm normally up on a sleep-in day.

[MysteryJen]

During the school year, I am up around 4:45. During the summer, 6 am (with one day a week at 4:45 am).

[Spryte]

I chose 9, because I'd prefer to sleep till (at least) 9.  But I generally get up at 8:30, when DH goes to work.  He does the kid care till then, to let me sleep in a bit.   :001_wub:

 

I generally go to sleep around midnight, but I need more sleep than I used to need, so sleeping in a bit is helpful.  

[ashfern]

I voted 6 AM but it's not by choice.  :glare: The baby wakes anywhere from 4:30 - 7. Average is around 6.
