What time do you wake up?

Post Reply New Topic

merle, i love how hitting snooze is an unapologetic part of your routine.

I get up between noon and 4 PM. On rare occasions I have to be at an appointment or some work and I'll have to get up as early as 10AM, which I find very difficult. Sometimes in the winter I'll get in a bad pattern of getting up at 4PM (just as the sun is going down) and going to bed at 4AM, so I get very little sunlight until I'm able to break the pattern.
I am very rarely conscious between 5 and 9 AM, unless I am still awake from the night before.

I get up between a large number of hours. Sometimes 7:10 AM (that is when I have to get up some days but I start getting up earlier) other times as late as noon. I get up throughout the night and it takes me hours to fall asleep because I itch. When I am anxious and think about scary things it can take even longer or I might not sleep. I am currently tired. I just had a stupid panic attack for no reason. My mom's birthday is coming up soon. I can't think!! !

Well, on most weekdays I need to get to wake up 6:30. When I do not, I usually set my alarm clock for 10:00, but wake up before that. I can understand the value of sleeping (considering I only get about 6 hours of sleep a night), but sleeping any later than 10:00 is an unacceptable waste of time to me.

Getting up early was part of my day from hell today. I had to get up two hours early to go to a motivational seminar my employer sent me to. There was 17k people there. Then I had to go to a big company meeting late in the day where there was 250 people. it was 9 hours of constant noise. I was completely drained by then end of it all and took a 4 hour nap when i finally made it home.

It's very very difficult for me to fall asleep, so I just sleep whenever I can manage to. Therefore I have no regular schedule, and it would be impossible for me have one, but more often than not I am up most of the night and sleep during the day. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which probably has to do with my inability to sleep.

Naturally: about 12
Forced, almost every day: about 6.30

I don't know why people like to wake up so early and why they force me to follow them. I'm tired all the day, but when is about 22, I don't want to sleep, because my brain works the best.

I am going to start an experiment on myself. I usually wake up at around 7:00 am when the sun in Singapore hangs brightly above the horizon. Waking up at 6:30 am, when the first rays of the dawn bends across the stratosphere, forced a change in my circadian rhythm. Though groggy and drowsy, the effect of waking up earlier means that I feel tired and sleepy at night even though my routine remains essentially unchanged. Getting to sleep naturally at night means a great deal to me as, like most people on the spectrum, sleeping soundly is a problem for me. I wonder though if most of us would benefit from forcing ourselves to wake up early even though there is no need for most of us to do so because we do not work. Would it solve some of our sleep issues?

8.29am when my alarm goes off. I live quite near to my job, so I can get there for 9am.
If it's not a work day, it depends what I'm going to do, what time I got to bed, and how much sleep I've had recently. I like to get my shopping done early on Saturday morning (avoids the worst of the crowds). I don't like getting up really late because I don't like to waste the day.

Now it's about 6.30, unless my youngest wakes up and wants to snuggle himself to sleep. I used to get up at five to meditate for a while, but then the kids woke up as soon as I wasn't in bed so I gave it up.

I'm smarter in the morning. But when I was younger I was definitely a night person.

Around 6 am weekdays.
I get up around 4 pm though, on weekends. That's only if I have nothing to do.

Around noon, but I won't get anything productive done until at least 2pm. This has earned me the unfair reputation of 'lazy' among my flatmates, who don't seem to realise that I don't go to bed until 5 or 6am, long after them. I find regular working hours to be highly inconvenient. Stupid 9am-5pm schedule.

On average i WAKE up at 23:32, 01:43, 03:54, 06:02 and finally at 07:30, which is the time i GET up (Times vary by +/- 30 minutes and sometimes there are more interruptions.)

I've had a sleeping disorder since i was a kid. I spend lots of time during night stairing at my ceiling and counting minutes on my clock... fun huh?

I also wake up several times during the night. If I only waike up twice in a night, that's a good night for me. I have nights where I wake up every half hour. On week days, when I need to go to work, I wake up for the day at around 6:30. On weekends, I wake up for the day any time between 9:30 and 10:30.
