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.

Hi, I do wake up early in the morning even it's weekends. But I'm at my 20's now. I think this is because I had to get up very early in week days to go to work. But there's exceptional and it happen when I am too tired or sleep very late!!!

Hi, eat healthy and work out more often can make your body status to be 20s although you might old in age. Though I'm in my 20s, but I guess my body is like 40s now. Have a nice day.

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 try very hard not to Terry but I am finding it harder to keep my eyes closed! lol I have to say I am not the same as you - I may not be able to stay asleep but I do not blink my eyes open and feel ready for the day - I still try to sneak back to sleep when I can! lol xxx

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!

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.
