When do you wake up?

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. If I did, I kept waking up. Was tossing and turning. Couldn’t get comfortable. Had trouble waking up this morning. By the time I finally got out of bed it was around 10:30.
I hate waking up late. Feel tired and out of it as opposed to feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
It’s almost noon and I’m waiting for hubby to get out of the bathroom so we can have breakfast. He always spends a long time in there.
Hard to have an interesting day when it starts late.

I get up at 5:30am each weekday, but on weekends I will sleep in if I stay up (or out) late. It's weird, because even when I go to bed late on Friday nights, I still wake up early on Saturdays, usually between 7-8am. But on Sundays, I can sleep as late as noon. It never fails that I tend to oversleep on Sundays for some reason.

Maybe your body needs more sleep and hence why you oversleep on Sundays. Now that the contractor is here to remodel the kitchen I wake up around 6-6:20am. I do that so I have time to poop, shower or wash up, and have breakfast. It's not easy to wake up that early lol. But I think I feel better waking up that early then waking up late. Usually though, I wake up around 8-8:30am if I don't fall back asleep after my 8am alarm.

@lovebuglena There’s no doubt my body plays catch up on sleep on Sundays. I run myself ragged during the rest of the week, and then pay for it on Sundays.
I wish I could sleep in until 8 or 8:30 like you. I woke up at 4am this morning due to a violent thunderstorm that moved through the area.

@moffittjc sometimes thunder wakes me up too.

How do you "wake up late" when you don't have to be anywhere at a certain time?
I woke up at 11:30 am to use the bathroom. I will visit on myLot for a while and go back to sleep again, like I always do.

Usually, if I wake up close to 10 am or after I feel more tired, etc. than if I wake up earlier.

@lovebuglena I'm awake for my "day" now and am eating "lunch". It's just after 5 pm in Missouri and I'm eating some of the experiment I made yesterday. (I ate breakfast before I went to sleep this morning and will make something for our supper around 10 pm.)
I always try to go back to sleep after I've checked myLot after I went to the restroom about noon.

I can wake up many times to use the bathroom. Sometimes when I do that and it's early morning I later regret going back to bed.

I have an everyday alarm set up for 8 am. Usually, without looking at the phone screen, when it rings I somehow manage to stop it as opposed to snooze it. 
Sometimes I get up soon after it goes off but sometimes I end up falling back asleep and wake up hours later. And I hate that.

@RebeccasFarm if I ever wake up that early it is to go pee lol. And then it’s back to bed.

I get up about 10 AM (unless I have a doctor’s appointment). I’ll wake up an hour or so before that, though, and either roll over and go back to sleep, or grab the tablet and read myLot and other things.

@lovebuglena — in perspective, I usually go to sleep about 2AM.

@FourWalls I sometimes do that as well. But more between 12 and 1 usually.
