What time do you get up?

We used to enjoy early morning lie-ins, but now my husband has to sleep downstairs. I wake up about 5.30, read papers online, do the quick crossword. Then go down at 7 to give him a pill, share a cuppa, and turn on his radio, then I sneak back up to bed for an hour or so chatting to any family members on Skype, perhaps do a grocery order, play a few games, then finally get up around 8.30.
And then the day starts!

I’ve got into some “bad” habits. Staying up far too late and sleeping/reading most of the morning..

8.30 ish- later at weekends. I like to wake up about 7-7.30 & listen to Radio 4 for news. I don't buy a paper or watch TV news very often .
Weekends we get up about 9 unless we have had a late night. I used to get up really early to walk dog before I went to work- now I love a lie in. I have a tea making machine by the bed so we can have a cuppa ( which my son thinks is hysterical as he believes I am the only person left who has one of these!)
It is so nice to just please yourself in retirement

I’m in bed till 11/11.30 most days!
Then potter about doing nothing much all day, then watch television in evening.
Still on iPad most nights by 1.30ish.
Tried many many times to move that back by 3/4 hours, but it never sticks.
Plus up minimum 3 times needing bathroom.
I’m permanently exhausted. ?‍♀️

Feeling a bit grotty today so when DH brought my tea at about 8.15 he said 'stay in bed, have a read'.
But I couldn't; it feels very indulgent to read during the day. However, I am on GN so that's daft, isn't it?

I usually get up around 6ish, breakfast around 7........bedtime is normally 12.30 but I read in bed til 2ish

I usually watch the BBC Breakfast TV programme and then get up (9:15). By then I have had my breakfast and a cup of tea and caught up with emails, FB and GN. Our bedroom is next to the kitchen so it's easy to bring tea and porridge back to bed.

After 30+ yrs of being up and on the go at 6.30am I found it very hard to lie in bed later it has taken a good few years to turn over and go back to sleep.
I still wake about 5am for a loo visit and mr.glamma will make me a as he is up and about with the dogs.
After channel surfing for half an hour I go back to sleep for a couple more hours getting up around 9am most mornings.

Have a shower, kettle on, so can be in time for Jeremy Vine.

I’m up at 5.30.... out of the house by 6.30.... walk to my daughters (3 miles)... to take over kids while she leaves for work. Shove load of washing in for her.... bus home( two buses)... get home to do bit housework,.. sort out lunch for me and husband and have 40 winks.... walk back to daughters between 2-3 o’clock... wait for kids coming home , get their dinner... wait for daughter coming home have a 15 mins chat about her day... the kids days... any other stuff that’s necessary... go home by bus. Get mine and husbands dinner ( he won’t cook)... fall into bed at 9. Do this three days a week.... and in in between days , lay in til 6.30... and am swimming by 7.30. Love early rising ... it istotally best time of day... hate between 3-7....

Awake at 5.30, up at 6, out of the house at 6.30 to cycle to work for 7am.

I am very much looking forward to my retirement (even though, barring a lottery win, it is still seven years away) to have the option of getting up in my own time, even if I wake up early.

Bedtime is 10.30-11pm. Sleep time is anything between then and 2am

I'm retired, but now have dogs to get up for - so around 7am. Am very tired by 9pm, but sleep so badly I try to stay up until 10pm hoping I don't wake in the night.

Late going to bed - just after midnight then read until falling asleep. Awake 6.30 am ish but turn over and its nearer 8 when I get up. Some nights I'm awake at 2,3,4 get up have cuppa then back to bed

About 8.30 after I’ve had my cup of tea in bed. Brought by DH ?

My bladder wakes up at 5am which used to be 6am before the clocks went back, and it won't listen !
I can't seem to get into the normal time now of 6am. This is what happens when you've been a creature of habit all your life----it's a hard habit to break.

I can't really sleep after this interruption and just find myself tossing and turning.

Woken each day at 8am by one of my dogs patting me on the shoulder, time to go for a walk. After the walk its time for coffee and GN.

Stella14 I'm similar. An owl. Sometimes later depending on need of a long sleep. (A lifetime of being slow a.m.regardlesss of sleep. V poor thyroid, on T3 to survive.
Sussexborn you have a routine that's natural to you, not a 'poor' habit. I function best later in the day. The dogs fit in too

Up at 7. Bed at 10. The change in my tablets means I'm less tired when I wake up and I feel so much better and I'm sleeping better too.

Around 630am usually. But since the darker mornings it’s been nearer 7.

I get up at seven, sort out bits and pieces, have a coffee and go to various exercise classes, depending on the day of the week.

Awake 6.00-6.30, get up and immediately make my breakfast and coffee, listening to Classic fm. Then I have at least two hours reading and watching YouTube until my DH gets up. It's the only time I am on my own and I love it. My DH is kind enough to stay in bed until I have eaten my breakfast, to give me peace and quiet, if he wakes up early. But once he is up then the TV is on for the day whether he is watching it or not.

This has been interesting reading! I would very much like to know where I could get melatonin gummies?

6.45 on my three childminding days, 8.00 on my 2 dog walking days and on the day I go rambling and on Sunday when I get hungry

I am an early waker, unfortunately.
Oh how I would love to be able to lie in and sleep until 8am, or even later if there’s nothing happening.

Always awake between 6 and 7am.

Another sleeping aid you can buy over the counter are Phenergan tablets.

Saggi.

I feel exhausted just reading your post.
Where do you get all your energy from?
It seem to do all that on very little sleep.
I have to admire you.
