Anyone else a morning person?

[TheGuildedAge]

I have always been able to function well on less than 8 hours. But since my son was born, I learned I can even function on 2!

Not ideal, but now that he's in a good cycle, he usually sleeps until around 5, gets up to eat, then goes back to sleep.

I love staying up after feeding him. I have been up since 4:30 already, but love it. Full moon, animals in the yard, the sound of the paper guy coming. Last week I was in the garage at 5 am cleaning the mountain bikes. I have seen foxes, deer, skunks running around outside. I feel like I miss too much sleeping late.

Anybody else like getting up early?

Love the early morning - peaceful and I can get a lot done before the rest of the crew starts waking up.

I run & row, so early mornings have always been my favorite. I woke up at 6.30 today, which is sleeping in by my standards. Time to row!

same here. i'm up anywhere from 5:00 to 6:30. my fiancee sleeps in anywhere from 11:00 to 12:00 so i get ALL that time to work out, and enjoy the peace and quit.

[Bobbofallenstar]

Nope. I am still awake. Last night I went to bed at about 3:30-4 am. Woke up today a little after noon.

I like the morning, nice and peaceful, get on with what you've got to do with the day, and still some day left to sit down and play.

Didn't work for me when I was on the road, as gigs often meant not getting home until well after stupid o'clock and then having to get up for the day job.

Best time of the day!

Like living on a Planet with 3 Billion fewer people :love:

Good Mornin!!:wave

Workdays i'm up at about 5:15. Weekends i'm up at 4:00. I like writing on Saturday mornings.

Count me in. I don't know how or when it really started, a handful of years ago I started waking up early. Now I awake without an alarm clock at 4 every morning. I usually get up right then because I need to be to work by 7. On weekends I try to go back to sleep and am usually up by 5.

I love the quiet mornings and beautiful sunrise sky-scapes. The downside is running out of energy early in the evening and going to bet at 9 :(

I am a morning person. Usually up around 4 A.M. even on weekends.
If it weren't for that, there would have been a lot fewer PG's I can tell you...

[Dillow4092]

I adore the morning. I get up at 3:30am on the weekdays, usually by 5:00am on the weekends. It's truly my most productive time. I really love it on the days I don't have to work. It just feels fresh, like time is all mine.

"PG's" ... ?

[Midnight Lady]

Morning Person here!

I've always loved getting up early. The world is quiet and peaceful, body and mind are rested.... truly great. An early morning walk is a wonderful thing.




(except for the bears that put an end to my morning walks)

[recto-robbie]

early morning is by far the best time of day, its right before the rest of insanity ruins the peace of it all.

[Boris Bubbanov]

9:19 A.M. and I'm ready to go back to sleep.

Some mornings yes, some no. :^)

[phoenix 7]

I love the early morning, which is why I often stay up until 4 or 5 AM. But seriously, no, I'm not a morning person.

I'm almost aways awake by 5:30. The bad news is that I don't really like being out late, which precludes me from seeing a lot of live music. I wish there was a jazz club that had shows starting at 6am. I'd be a regular....

[MRCHILL4]

definitely feel the same, about missing a lot .....

[BluesForDan]

i don't consider myself a morning person, but I usually get up around 7 AM every day, to play with my cat and feed her in preparation for her morning insulin dose. 7 days a week. I'm usually in bed between midnight and 1 AM.

[Neer]

I am a morning person and a night owl. I go to bed at 2 almost every night, except when I go to bed later, and wake up every morning at 7 to take the kids to school.

[Blix]

I love early mornings, I hate rushing to get to work, so I wake up way early and have plenty time for coffee, breakfast, checking my emails, reading the paper etc.

[MikeE]

By nature I'm not a morning person, but wish I was as it just seems more productive to get up early. My son has me up around 6:30 every morning now so I'm nudged into being a morning person lately but if he started sleeping in later, so would I.

[The_Whale]

I slept in a bit today, usually I'm up earlier.

[SteveO]

I start work at 4:00AM, so on my days off I like to sleep in until 3:30.

[arthur rotfeld]

In the summer I'm up once a week at 3:15/3:30 to go fishing. It's great being alone on the road in metro NY. Calm and quiet.

But that's for fishing, otherwise I'd rather sleep in a bit.
