Do you wake up early, or sleep in late? I go to bed earlier and wake up at the crack of dawn. I am probably getting the same amount of sleep as everyone else, I just love mornings and the start to a day! I am also not into talking to people early in the morning, and mostly I don't have to deal with anyone before 9. As I say this, today my husband and my son woke up right when I did. Now everyone is awake, but luckily no one is talking yet!!

I used to sleep forever HEHE I used to go to bed very late 3 or 4 in the morning and not get up til noon. However as I got older I changed. Going to bed very late now would be midnight. Normally I am in bed by 10 and I am up around 6 or 7. If I wake up after that I feel like I have wasted much of my day. Jeepers, give my 10 more years and I will be in bed by 7 and up at 5 HEHEHE

Getting old is rough! Sleeping late would make me feel like my day was wasted as well!

yes i walk up early in the morning because i have this type of insomnia were you get to wake up every hour and again start your momentum to wake up its really hard to try to sleep again so i always prefer to sleep alone and in a place where there are no noise and its conducive for sleeping.

I have to have a fan on in my room. it has to be dark, and it has to be cold in my room to get the best sleep. If not, i am up and down all night

i woke up early everyday on esp. on weekdays cause my hubby and kids goes to school and work. I usualy woke up at around 4:30 in the morning and start to prepare everything for my kids going to school and my hubby to work. Mostly after the tiring hour of rush i felt like sleeping again but not most of the times i do go back to sleep when my kids are gone to school when i have spare time of not busy with other chores. My lucky days are on weekends we dont have things to rush.

Lately I've been waking up about 5-10 minutes before my alarm is set to go off. That's always a pain because it doesn't give me a chance to fall asleep again if I want. Since I have an overnight job, I get home at 6 a.m., then I usually take a nap until 9 or 10. When I retire and/or can afford a better house, I'd love to have my bedroom windows facing the east or southeast so I can watch the sunrise from bed.

I wake up before the sun breaks the darkness with its soft rays'touch and mostly meditate fora while. Then start my work regarding little exercises, breathing, and relaxing... And yes morning time computer to check, to read, to write and to post something on net will be followed... I go for walking mostprobably around sunrising time so the changing sky colors help me to create my days with its colors... and yes changing seasons also affects but at that time i mostly follow my wake up time and exercises and so on... Life is really giving much with learning from nature and its explorations!

My sleeping habit is so weird. I wake up around 3am, do some chores around the house, then go online until about 6 or 7 am. Then I'll go to sleep again then wake up at 9am to go online again before having breakfast. Haha it's a sleep-online-sleep cycle! But that's because most of my income is online and can be done anytime I want.

yes, i wake up early, although i sleep very late at night. my boyfriend has to get up early in the morning for work ,then i set an alarm for him, so when it is ringing, then i must wake up, then i will go on sleeping, but it will affect my sleep. and i often get up at 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning, but i can't feel energy when i get up. so now i want to get up early when the alarm is ringing, then i will take a nap in the afternoon. i will have a try.

I have to take a nap in the afternoon, sometimes just 10 mins will do me fine. But getting up at 5:30 every day is quite a chore

I also get up early and go to bed early.To go to bed early is good for female to keep good health and beautiful image.But as for me,it's not the main reason.I am an undergraduated student now and my major is english.English is a kind of subject which should be praticsed everyday.Before there was monring reading which is the order of college and now it's not available on us,so all it depends on ourselves.I want to have a good future and to be responsible for my future,so I insist on getting up early everyday to have moring reading,including weekends.Now I have been used to such way of life to go to bed early and to get up early. I think most of ambitious university students should be the same as me.We all should be responible for our future.If to give a great cap to it,it is to be responsible for our country. To get up early in the monring and breath the fresh air,you will get a more fresh day.

I think getting a good night sleep has helped to reverse the aging process on me as well! of course, stopping smoking and stop sun exposure i am sure has helped some! lol

I am very lucky that I am able to get up in the morning before my family so I can avoid being moody. If i dont get that little bit of "my" time, I am VERY grumpy

I sleep late in night after spending some time on the net trying to make some money online and wake up early in the morning as i have to prepare food for my school going children apart from getting them ready for school. When things get hard and i feel my body needs some rest then i would sleep early to get myself back in line for the next day.

No matter what time I go to sleep, I tend to wake at about the same time, about 04h30. And since this is Ramadan, it even makes things easy for me as I have to wake up a little earlier to do my prayers.

I usually wake up early, doesn't matter if sleep at 7 pm or 1 pm. It's like my body is programmed to wake at 6-7 in the morning. However there are days that I wake up at 8 or 9. But that's really rare.

I wake up between 1pm - 3pm. Depends what time I slept the night before. But I'll force myself to wake up in the morning if I have an early outing which is very rare because most of my friends wake up around the same time as me.
