The Early Bird is Cranky

I wake up early, but I still don't like it. My body gets around like I'm much older than thirty-five (arthritis because of years ago car accident, fibromyalgia). Still, the plus is I can get a lot done before much of the day goes by. Plus, with the extreme heat this time of year it's almost necessary to get up early and do what needs to be done. It's sweltering where I live.
So while I don't like getting up early, my doctor appointment in the morning is at 7:30am. Since they are always behind I wanted to be one of the first ones there, and hopefully, among the first out.
Do you usually get the early appointments, or are you one who has to schedule them later? If you have kids you probably have to plan around their schedule, right?
Luckily, getting up early doesn't make me cranky. How about you?

My appointments are usually between the times I take or pick up the kids from school. In most cases I can do it around 9/10/11am. I prefer to take the earlier appointments in case it takes too much time - that way I don't have to worry about the time I need to pick up the kids.
I do wake up early - not only because I have to, but my body just tells me to (I don't use an alarm clock). I do get some "me time" during this time - so I'm good with it. The only time I'm really cranky is when I get to bed super late . . . because I will still wake up early and pay for it later on in the day.

I'm part of what they call the 'sleeping elite'. I can be a night owl and still be an early riser. Even though I can stay up late and still wake up early, I still sleep early. I prefer to schedule my appointments and more important tasks for the day in the morning as I find myself to be more productive doing that.

If it is for the kids, I schedule late morning so I can feed them first. But if it is for me, I go bright and early with the same thing as you in mind, get me in and out thank you very much. I am not a patient person and just hate to be trapped in a dr office waiting around.

I am not a morning person, so I don't usually schedule my appointments till 10:00-11:00 am.

Getting up early is really good for our health and for our mood as well as energy levels. Even I have 5 hours of sleep but I manage to wake up early, I will be happy throughout the day. However, if I sleep for 8 hours and wake up after sunrise, I dont feel fresh..Sleeping early and wake up early is the law of nature and we should follow it in order to keep ourselves healthy. Please share your opinion on this..
