I usually give myself a hour and a half to take a bath, get dressed up, and if there is still time, eat breakfast. I stay in a dormitory near our university so I don't have any problems in going to school on time. Sometimes I wake up 3 hours before our first class if I have some things to finish like school works or any left chores. But sometimes I rush things especially if I woke up late.

When I was still in college I wake up at 4AM to set my alarm clock to snooze. I finally wake up at 4:30 AM. I usually spend less time for bathing but more time sitting on the throne. I really don't spend much time for preparation because I've prepared the thing I need to bring the night before and most of the time I do not eat breakfasts. Now, I give myself up to 9AM to wake up.

Since I mostly get 5 to 6 hours of sleep everyday, I can only spend enough time to take a shower, wear my office attire and eat my breakfast then zoom out of the door to go to work. No more time for some unnecessary distractions.

Hello, Isabella, I used to give myself 20 minutes for preparation. After my son come, I have to get up at least one hour earlier than usual, and sometimes may 2-3 hours when he gets up very early in the morning!

No, I do not like get early in the morning. I'm a sleepy guy, thus there is just about ten minutes to clean, dress and prepare my working stuff. After that, I rush out door fastly and take my breakfast in the office.

I actually don't like waking up early in the morning but I have to because I have to do exercise for 1 hour and then go to fresh myself up. And then I have my breakfast and after having my breakfast, I go dress myself, apply some powder, wear my accessories and then I am ready to go to my college. Since these things approximately take me 2 hours of time, so I have to get up at 6 a.m then all this work finishes at 8 a.m. Then after 15 minutes or something I go to my college.

Hi isabella, I can't bear to rush in the mornings so set my alarm for much earlier than I need so I can have a peaceful coffee before I need to start trying to wake my son up for school. On the very odd morning when I hit the snooze button and then oversleep for a little bit I can move without coffee and at the speed of light to drive my son down as the bus will have gone.

I do not work outside my house but when I did I would get up about an hour before I had to go to work. I take a fast shower, then eat toast for breakfast, then I would get dress and go to work. I only lived about 5 minutes from where I worked.

isabella, For me, from the moment I open my eyes, I had to get up, wash my face and start cooking, laundry and everything. I dont really get to laze around or take a breather.. It's just GO for the very beginning until night when it ends.. sigh..

Hi Isabella, When I was going to high school I used to do the lie in and then run out of the door thing after breakfast, purely because I could never wake up in time. But when I started going to university I started to manage my time better and would give myself enough time to snooze the alarm, get dressed leisurely, make sandwiches, and then have a lovely breakfast while catching up on some TV. I still do that now, whenever I go to work I have to make sure I have enough time to make food, eat breakfast and make myself look presentable before having to dash off. If I ever end up having a lie in and have to rush out I always end up in a foul mood so I tend to learn never to make that mistake a second time lol! All the best, Dranz

Well I too very much like my sleep but when I used to sleep in until I barely had time to get ready, I never felt like I looked fully professional. I have a city job and at my age (20) that is a huge thing and I just didn't feel up to par when I didn't give myself time to sleep in. So I usually get up about 5:45 every morning and give myself time to do my hair, makeup, time to eat breakfast, etc. But I always set my alarm about a half hour early and i hit the snooze button lots of time until I finally feel ready to get up. lol. It helps me slowly come back to life.

It all depends on different person. I myself is a student. I am having holidays now, therefore, I always stay up late at night and woke up late in the morning. Most probably wake up in the afternoon. But if I am having my studies and there is class early in the morning. I usually wake up early in the morning and clean up myself which includes showering and brushing my teeth. After that, I will see if there is some time for breakfast before heading to the college. Usually I would wake up about 1 hour and 30 minutes early before heading to college as I need to drive to college about 30 minutes drive.

I'm not a morning person. Normally, after getting up from bed, I'll take a 10-minute shower and another 15 minutes to get dressed. Simultaneously, my husband is also preparing for work. Then we're off to work. I take my breakfast at the office while reading the newspaper.

I prefer to get the morning routine done quickly. However sometimes things get late. Sometimes I get up late then I really have to hurry. Including breakfast I guess it takes me around one and a half hour to complete the morning routine.

I too wake up late in the morning until its about 2 hours to do something like going for work. My work makes me work late at night so its pretty hectic. But when I wake up I do take a shower and have my breakfast and if I am lucky to have some time then I read the newspaper also. Peace

I try to wake up atleast 2 hours before I leave for work.. cause I still cook breakfast, sometimes even lunch.. and then i drink my coffee, watch cable news, eat my breakfast, and I go online.. I don't like waking up with only like 30 minutes to spare, cause my mind needs longer time to boot up. lol.

I am definitely a morning person. I get up early in the morning, that if I havve work or I go to school. I make sure that I can eat breakfast and ave a nice shower before going to work. I think my circadian rhythm is used to it because sometimes, I don't need an alarm clock to wake me. I usually wake up the same time each day.
