It may be funny to ask such a question,because as for me, I usually get up too late for something.But this morning,I woke up quite early,at around 5.At first I said to myself that maybe I could return to dreams.However,when I lied down in my bed again,I found myself awake,and could not fall back asleep.So I got up again and walked to the window.The sun had not risen yet,but there was still some light in the east.Suddenly,an idea attacked my mind that I should do some running and see the sunrising.After that,I ran to the river side,which is in the south of our city.When I reached there,the sun was rising.What a happy start of this new day!
Do you have some similar experience?What will you do in case you get up very early in the morning?

I would definitely go back to sleep. 
I have the habit of waking up in the morning before my alarm clock beeps just to check what time is it. And whenever I see that I still have time to doze of, I sleep. I wake up every now and then just to check the time and when the alarm goes off, I gave myself another 15 minutes to snuggle in bed.

Hi qian i donot generally get up early in the morning. I usually get up at 7;00Am which is like fixed for me.
If this happens to me i think i will sleep again because i don't find it difficult to sleep again once i wake up before my scheduled time
.Also going out to walk outside is not a bad idea its really good for health.I would like to gp for walking if next time i get up early.

Hi, Neha here.. as I am a girl I have to do lots of work early in the morning.. I need to clean home,then need to do prayer everyday early in the morning. In doing all these things don't know where time goes. and second thing girls in India still doesn't have that much freedom to go outside at 5am. I m not talking about those girls whose parents are not thinking about anything, I am talking about typical Indian family. So when we girls from such typical Indian family has to wake up early the morning everyday at 5am need to do lots of work, so no need to think that what to do now. No time for taking any such experience and again no freedom for such experiences.Take care.

I do have those moments every now and then
What I do is just make myself a cup of coffee, sit down and stare at the window. I am a working mother with an eight-month old baby and my life is pretty hectic these days. Thus, quite moments early in the morning is a welcome treat.
What you experienced was pretty nice. Most of the time, it's more tempting to just go back to sleep and rest some more, but it is also nice to go out and see something beautiful like a sunrise.
Have a nice day!

That actually happens to me very often, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night between the hours of 3AM & 5AM and find myself having a difficult time going back to sleep. Sometimes, I am lucky and after a while I tend to fall back asleep other times I am not as lucky and at times I end up getting up and start getting to work or just doing chores in the house.

Yeah this happens to me sometimes. I wake up too early in the morning and can't get myself back to slep. Seriously speaking I hate it when this happens. I just try hard to go back to sleep again coz I know if I start my day then, I'll just get tired before lunch time and go back to sleep again. SO yeah I just lie in my bed and try to go back to sleep :)

Good. what you have done is a healthy thing. In my case if I get up, I will go to laptop and browse mylot, after brushing the teeth and taking a cup of hot coffee.
Always coffee first other things next. have a good day.
In China how many hours are you asked to work in ur companies per day? is it 8 hours or more than that?

Waking up early could be a sign of a major depression. It happens to me many times. It is very difficult to fall asleep again. I try, but when I can't, sometimes I sit up in my armchair until I doze off and then return to bed when I wake up again. It is easier to unwind in this position than in a recling position in bed. If this doesn't work, I play more Mah Jong games on the computer until it is time for breakfast.

Is not a usual thing for me to wake up early in the morning because I don't see the point of doing it. :D Anyway you were lucky that you had where to go and see a beautiful sun rise which made your day better... Most of the time when I wake up early is because of my neighbor who is listening music (at 6 AM - WTF). So, when I wake up early I curse my neighbor about 10 minutes and after that I set myself in front of the PC. :D

i wish i could do that. the problem is that i can never wake up soon :/ and this is a semi-city witch has a river close and you can run, but when people see you they all look to you like if you were retards :S now that my country's version of biggest looser came, im seing more people in the streets walking and running. hoppfully in the future it will be "normal" to walk instead of using cars

Usually when i wake up too early(too much worries), i just stay awake in the dark for some time.If the next day is a working day,then i try to sleep.If not,i 'll just surf the internet.Used to watch the tv or some dvd movies but the tv's not working anymore.

what i'd do is to do what i feel like doing.
whenever i wake up earlier than what i'm supposed to, at first i'll go back to sleep. if i can't, or if i don't want to, i might as well get up and clean the house.. or do the laundry.. or fix the roof, or fix anything that needs fixing..
point is, i usually don't put too much pressure on myself doing something i don't feel like doing should i ever wake up earlier than scheduled.
running is good, though. but only if i feel like doing so..
