What wakes you up in the morning?

Probably coffee not Gino from Strictly.

If only 😊

My next door neighbour wakes me at 5.00am every morning. She must wake at dawn, then goes for a run, slamming her front door, which is under my bedroom window, thus waking me.

Neighbour going to work between 5.00 - 5.30 in their noisy sports car!

My newest dog...she's now 12 months old.

She'll stand at the side of the bed, favourite toy in her mouth and gently nudge me with it. If I don't wake up, she places it by me and pushes it gently until it 'hits me' .

I was thinking " wooo hoo sexy guy" then realised.. no, she doesn't mean that kind of Rich Italian. Phew.

1 French Bull Dog and 2 Birman Kit Kats.

Breakfast time !! And a doggie walk for his toilet business.

It is much cooler in the early mornings ( 6am - 8am ) ..

I love the sound of all that butterandjam.
Thanks kitty some days are just harder than others and the fears lurk. Your hug is most welcome.

Dogs, myself, my husband -- between five and six.

6 am. All my life, I've woken up at 6 am on the dot. How I love that early morning freshness.
As a teenager, I used to get up and got for a walk along the river, or a swim. As a teacher, I had a good hours to plan my day. As a young mum, I'd make a cuppa just as the baby woke for the first feed, and sit in a chair with tea and baby, perfect bliss.

These days my first thought at 6 am is " time for a wee". As soon as I come out of the bathroom my dog has the same thought and we pop outside together. He sniffs everything and pees on all the best bits; I sniff the air. Dark, light, rain or sun, I still love 6 am.

usually toilet call early then back to sleep till neighbour starts shouting and banging doors...

I am like you waterneadow. I wake very early every morning, anytime from 4.30/5 am onwards. It’s not a need for the bathroom. A real treat would be to sleep until 7 am. Or woukd be happy with 6. I have tried closing the curtains , makes no difference so usually leave them open.
I listen to world service and don’t get to sleep again.
I go to bed about 10.45 and currently sleep ok.

The seagulls on the field along with the birds in my garden, as I sleep with the window wide open.

I have to have the window open too, it’s been open for weeks now. We do get the Dawn chorus as we have a lot of trees close by but I like it, I’m usually awake anyway, I just doze after about 4am.

At present? worrying.

Hugs anytime you want fgt.

My sciatica! Had it for 1.5 years now.

My body clock wakes me, extremely early and I get up straight away. I’ve never needed an alarm.
I always have the curtains drawn back a bit so that I can watch the progress of the night. I could never sleep with blackout curtains, so claustrophobic.

FGT - hope things get easier

I seem to have an internal alarm clock. I wake between six and seven, almost always. Have never slept late, not even when I was a teenager.

Me too!

Alexa, at 9am

In Springtime as the days lengthen its the lovely birdsong which brings a sleepy smile around 4.30 am- I usually drop straight back off afterwards. Then around 7am 'him indoors' gets up so I wake up properly then, have TIB around 8am, read the Good Morning thread , and get up around 8.30-9am! As FGT would say #️⃣lazygran.

Btw, not wishing to hijack the thread as I've mentioned FGT I've got her some . Worrying probably means she's not getting off to sleep easily either. I hope each day as 'himself' gets a little stronger her shoulders drop a little too. x

At present? worrying.

The jackdaws that roost in a nearby tree usually do the job at dawn; when I have dropped off again, my 'Alexa' is set to 7.05am which gives me an hour to digest a load of pills before breakfast. Well, that's the plan, but 'the best laid plans ..... gang aft agley'.

My alarm clock usually, at 7.45am. Or my bladder. I always get up immediately as I don't like lying in bed.

Oo, lucky you!
