Gosh. So many larks!
I'm an owl.
I might occasionally wake at 6.30 but I'd definitely go back to sleep until 8am.
I have no desire to "leap out of bed". Ever!

My alarm is set for 8am when I am usually in a deep sleep having been awake for an hour following my 4.30 call to the loo. It takes me a good half hour to rouse myself then it's a good strong black coffee before stretch, shower, dressed and ready to take on the day.

As early as possible, usually just after 6.00am. I am a lark, always have been, always will be. The fact that I am not working any more does not change that.

Around 8 am. May be earlier or a bit later, but usually before 8.30. I might be awake much earlier.

It's 8.25. Just supping my tea in bed and soaking up my lovely view and the breeze from the fan .. bliss!

I get up around 7am but have been known to sit in PJs drinking tea and looking at GN etc until lunchtime.

Usually between 5.30 and 6am, once I wake up I get up as I don't like lying in bed and wouldn't go back to sleep.

Anytime between 6.30 and 8.00.
I do love to have a quiet cup of tea in bed though.

Awake anytime between 5 and seven bring a cuppa back to bed and scroll stuff but up at 8 I am hungry for breakfast by then having eaten dinner at 5.30ish the night before.

What time do you get up the morning. I usually get up around 8.00 but it can be a movable feast. My DH is strictly regimental about it and always gets up at 6.30. If he leaves it till 6.45 he has got up ‘late’ and has wasted the day.
