Or do you drag yourself too from bed in the early morning? I'm a night person, and most of the time, I'm awake during the night and sleeping in the day - like an owl.lol. so in the morning, I find it hard to wake up early. I set my clock at 5:00 am but I wait for it to alarm thrice first before standing up. Especially now that it's cold and it's so good to snuggle in bed under the blanket covers..mmmm What about you? What are your sleeping and rising practices?

I honestly wish I had that problem. My problem is I have a back injury and when I try and get some sleep I only sleep for 2 - 3 hours a night. Hence going to bed really early in the morning but yet waking up really early in the morning. However I do have to have a nap in the afternoon to keep me going. But even the nap is just an hour or two. I wish I could stay in bed for at least 8 hours and get a propers night sleep.

I am and alway have been an early riser. I usually get up in the morning before six. I am not working now, was laid off two months ago, and I still get up early. I usually stay up until twelve midnight, and I will still get up around six, without an alarm clock. I hate alarm clocks. As soon as I wake up in the morning, I get right up, I never just lay in bed while I am awake.

I hate morning, but I suck it up and wake up anyway. I wish I could just sleep in every day and go to work or school later. I tend to go to bed a bit later (I at least go to bed earlier than I would if I stayed up as late as I wanted to) and then I have to wake up early. I always feel awful when morning comes around.

I am one of those people that has an extremely unhealthy relationship with the snooze button! lol. The alarm is set for 7:10 am and by the time I actually get out of bed it is usually around 7:50 am so I have hit my old friend "snooze button" around 4 times at ten minute naps a time! This is pretty much a standaqrd morning for me!

Same here. I am a night person as well. I could stay up very late at night and won't have any problem with that. But as expected, I would also wake up very late. I can do more things at night and I feel that I have more energy at night compared when I do things early in the morning.

I am definitely not an early riser, lol. My schedule is weird right now. So I sleep during the day and I'm up all night. I do get a lot of stuff done, so I can't complain at all. I guess I kind of have a ritual, but not really. After I wake up, shower and eat then I just go over to the computer.

seems that you are a little girl. Here's an suggestion for you: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes you healthy, pretty and wise." I guess you live in the south hemisphere. Is is Australia? It's too cold out there at 5:am. So why do you have to get up so ealy? 6:30 is still early. Another one and half hour will make you feel better. Even you are a night person, please go to bed before midnight. Staying up to late is realy harmful, for you eyes, for your skin and for you mind. I usually go to bed at 10:30 and get up at 6:30. I feel energetic the whole day. I can do anything I like easily.

No,I'm not.I'll try my best to sleep later,even one minute,I'll catch it. I set ten alarms every morning.Previously,they woke me up earlier.But,now,they are just songs for me.Sometimes,I even can't remember when I turn off the alarms. It's really a big problem for me.

I used to wake up early during my younger years... when I was a student, that is! Now that I'm working and got a hold of my time I can extend my sleep and wake up a bit late. But of course I make sure that I get to the office not too late to earn tardiness in my 201 File. lol!

Although I love morning It's also very hard for me wake up early, I usually wake up at around 9:00am, eat my breakfast then start to work again. my sleeping time is between 12:00am to 1:00am and sometimes up to 3:00am depending on the things that I'm doing. I work at home with my online business and I have a printing business just in front of my house.

I am not nowadays. I used to do that before though. With the kind of work schedule that I have, it's so difficult to wake up early in the morning. I work from 2pm onwards. I usually go home around 12 midnight. So, I really make it sure that I got enough rest.

Well I am an early riser. Set alarm of 6:30 A.M and wake up on time on the very first ringing alarm. I believe that people who are late starters loose alot in life as they waste important time in waking up.

I'm considered to be an early riser. I used to teach and I wake up at 5 to be in school before 7 every week day. So I have to be awake to face the students. Can't have a sleepy teacher, must catch the kids who are sleepy. Nowadays, I'm taking care of my daughter and I wake up when she wakes up at around 7. But of course, my husband wakes up earlier to go to work and I am usually awoken when he takes a shower. So basically I'm awake by then and can't go back to sleep. So tired! Night before, I'm usually mylotting till 11 or midnight. Wondering if I have enough sleep, actually?
