            I get up early everyday. I just wake with no alarm clock. At 6:00 my eyes just open and Im ready for the day. I wish I could sleep a couple of hours more thou. I think its old age because when I was a teenager I loved the weekends and would sleep till 11 or 12. Wow what a waste of day. So do you get up early on the weekends?

                    I barely get up early any day of the week unless I have to. I'm more prone to staying up late and getting up late. I definitely need to work on changing that habit though because I have a lot of early things to do this coming school year and I cannot afford to get only a few hours of sleep each and every night. I just really do not like mornings.

                            LOL I try to change it all the time but I can never really get it to stick.

                     I'm like you, I wake up early every day, and not on purpose. I never really could sleep until noon, like my sister could on summer vacation. But I think it was about 16 when I started waking up at 5am almost every morning. I hated that! I wanted to sleep at least until 6am. Now days I wake up around 4am, and that is the start of my day. I don't mind anymore, because I like the peace before the sun comes up. It's just that I don't go to bed until around 1am, so three hours sleep isn't enough for me. So some days I'm lucky enough to feel like I could nap.

                    I would love to sleep in from time to time but my kids never let me! So most days I'm usually awake by 6:30 am...though sometimes I get lucky and we all go back to sleep for another hour or two!

                    I wake up at 6am but I now force myself back to sleep for another couple of hours as the Day just drags to much for me and also by 11 I am tired again 
I have never slept that late unless I am really Ill then I have 
At the moment I am always sleepy and it is really annoying me as I hate it but if I force myself to stay awake I go Dizzy and I get moody it is horrible 
Hugs to you

                    It isn't a waste of a day if that is what you wanted to do.It varies for me. Some weekends I can sleep late and others I can't . Most of the time I go to sleep at 3am. so I wouldn't be up at 6am.

                    Yup, I get up early every weekend, same as during the week. I wake up at 6 every morning without an alarm clock, regular as clockwork, and have done so for years now.
Sometimes I wish I could sleep in just for another hour but it never happens (even if I've had a late night the night before).
However, I do like getting up early, because that's "My Time", and I love having no intrusions for a couple of hours before the day starts.

                    Hi there,
I am totally an early riser! During the work week I get up around 4:30 everyday. On the weekend I do not sleep in much later than that. I am usually up and going by 5. I feel that sleeping in is such a waste of a day I always try to get up early. Maybe it is an age thing. :)
cheers,

                    I get up late on the weekends. I like to be able to sleep late. There are too many times when I have to get up so early and become irritated with people because of lack of sleep.

                    I am still young, and I'd like to sleep more than 8 hours a day. For the weekday, I usually can't take so long time to sleep. So I always sleep nearly 10 hours on the weekends. But I can't sleep till 11 or 12, I wake up before 11, and when I am awake, it is not easy to get sleep again, or the quality of sleep become bad with lots of dreams.

                    I got up at 1 p.m. today! I can't not get up before nine o'clock on the weekends. From Monday to Friday, i have to get up at 7 o'clock coz my classes start at eight. I am so cheerful when weekend comes. That means i can have a really good and long sleep. That's the best way to relax myself after five days busy classes.

                    I agree it is an age thing. When I was younger I always used to lie in late at the weekends and I needed at least 8 hours sleep. 
Now I wake up at dawn every day. I love being up early when everyone else is still asleep. I am often at my laptop at 6 a.m. or even earlier. 
Time does become more precious as you grow older, and the thought of sleeping half the day seems to be a waste of half a day. Time wasted is time lost forever.

                    usually i wake up at 6 am but if its holiday i will be on bed till 11. I will have a look at my clock at 6 am and will decide to sleep for half an hour. after 1 hour i will look at clock again and think , what to do by this time so i sleep for another hour. atlast my mother will come shouting , then only i will get up from my bed.
