What time do you get up

Around 9am to 9:30am. Go to sleep between 12pm to 1am. I only set the alarm and get up earlier if I have an early morning appointment.

I do not like waking up when it is still pitch black outside.

Up at 6 to check on DH, give him meds he needs before brekkie and make us both a cuppa and I stay with him until about 8/8.30 he usually goes back to sleep and I read.

Oh - don't ask! Just eating breakfast here at 9.50am!!

😁 Ditto!

Last night I was trying to finish a book so was reading into the early hours. This morning was rather slow, there is usually no need to rush around early in the mornings now unless I have an appointment or meeting of some kind.

Late one today, got up just before 10am but didn’t go to bed till gone 1am.
I rarely get up before 9am now I’m retired.
I average 8 hours good sleep each night which for me is the most important thing

6 am same as I always have and probably always will
Go to bed 11 ish sleep till about 2 or 3 am have an hour or so awake then another sleep till 5 or 6 then up, can’t lie in bed never have. Mum and Dad were 6 am people as were my grandparents 🥱

Me too Luckygirl! I’ve been awake since silly o’clock but refuse to get up at an ungodly hour. Unless I have any early appointments or an early start to get to an activity, I will sit in bed drinking coffee, answering emails, staring ant Gransnet, until around nine. Even after he retired, DH was always up with the lark (a hangover from his military days) and liked me to be as well. It rarely happened!

Early morning here - the radio alarm goes on for the shipping forecast. Coffee in bed listening to the farming news and the headlines, then up and doing.

Bed by 10pm at the latest.
Years ago I used to go to bed after the 9 o’clock news but the tv schedules changed so now I just potter after 9, getting the breakfast things ready.

There’s no moral high ground about being up earlyish, just the way my body works best.

I've always been a night owl, rarely going g to bed before 11pm, then reading sometimes until 1am. I usually get up around 8:30 - 8:45.

Oh - don't ask! Just eating breakfast here at 9.50am!!

Now retired - wake up about 6.30-7.00am. Lie in bed scrolling on tablet until 9.00am. No more getting up early in the dark, driving to work in rush hour traffic, scraping frost off the car at an ungodly early hour. Heaven!

I'm usually awake around 5am, stay in bed for half an hour or so by then I'm wide awake so get up. I don't like lying in bed once I'm fully awake.

Some people I know are so self righteous about getting up early. On a different tack a relation in his mid 80s feels guilty if he reads a book during the day. What on earth is that about. If you can't get up when you want or read a book in the day in your retirement when on earth can you?

So much martyrdom. Competitive martydom I read and hear so often....makes me yawn.

6-6.30 rise, bed around 9.30. Husband may get up a little later as he has very painful hips,knees etc.

I’m awake at 6ish read till 7 cup of tea in bed watching news and scrolling up at 8am for shower and brekkie.

Ha!

Today, 6.30am.
Sunday might be 9am.

I seem to go in about 6 week patterns generally.
No idea why.
In an early one lately. Good.

Am a part time shift worker so getting up or going to bed is a moveable feast.
If not working then around 8 a.m I guess.

We're both Larks up and about at 6.30 always have been bed at 10 pm is late enough for us.

Semi retired (work 2 days)
On work days I get up at 7.
Non working days I wake at 8/8.30 but stay in bed (as DH brings me tea) on my phone with radio on until about 9 8r 9 30.
Bliss!

👍👍

DH gets up at 6:30 7 days a xx week, to walk dog and returns with a hot cuppa for me in bed around 8:30.

I will get up anytime really between 8:45-9:45 if nothing happening.

If I have an early appointment or meeting someone I get up and shower around 8:00am.

We have TV in our bedroom, so there’s really never any rush unless something is “happening”.

I feel very lazy now compared to those posting 🤣😂🤣

Similar to Greenfinch. DH makes a cup of tea around 6:30, then we watch breakfast for a while and get up around 7:30.
I may have been awake since 4

around 7am.I also got up very early for work can't seem to lose it and I retired over 20 years ago. At 7 am I would have been almost at work.

Usually about 7:30 though I am awake much earlier and rarely sleep well.
