How do you wake up in the morning?

Especially when it’s a cold winter. It takes me 2 hours to find where I am. I had a month off because I had surgery and Monday I start work again. I don’t know how will I get up at 7h when it’s dark outside.

I woke up at 9 this morning and I consider late. I’m a morning person but I don’t work. It is a habit for me to wake around 7 or 8 am

I wake up early around 5 am. :poop:. Then feed cat. Make coffee. Drink coffee. Check phone while doing it all. Then post on sz forums for a while. Then I usually drive to my parents house. And have another cup, talk to them. Idk I have my routine and I prefer mornings.

In summer I’m hiking at 6-8 pm. In winter I’m sleeping.

I wake up when I’m done sleeping, and I’m usually sleep-drunk for the first half hour

my routine is VERY bad - when I wake up I light a cigarette and drink instant coffee. This is when I am working - when I reach my office I smoke another cigarette and have a second coffee…just half an hour after my 1st coffee and cigarette. I feel sick of cigarettes but it’s become a habit… :frowning:
Now when I am off work I get up around 8am to walk the dog. I think I will start going to work a bit later and leave a bit later at evening. Not that I have anything to do at home but I like leaving early. I used to be a morning person…but not in winter

I wanna change my answer. Whenever I scroll past this thread, I hear the lyrics from ‘mrs Potters lullaby’ in my head
“well I woke up in mid afternoon, cause that’s when it all hurts the most”

I need to wake up because of the nursing service that will give me my morning medication. But after they have gone I go instantly back to bed and sometimes lay in bad till 12 o’clock. Just if I have no appointment for the day.
And if I have an appointment I set my alarm clock on my smartphone, and it works.

It’s dark out when I go to work and dark out when I’m done work. Depressing time of year. I tend to pop awake around 5:30 am and don’t need to use an alarm clock.

I usually wake up around 9:30 or 10:00 am. I get up, have coffee and sometimes walk on the treadmill. Then shower. That’s my general routine most days.

I don’t drink coffee. I can’t do caffeine. I can’t sleep on it.

I wake up around 7:30-8:00. It takes me a while to feel with it, but we need to get out the door to preschool.

wake up at 9. hide my morning wood. go to the bathroom to pee, come get my coffee and then start on breakfast. im thinking I may kick the coffee habit, it takes up some time and it makes me gassy

I pop out of bed anywhere from 3 am to 1 pm in the afternoon. And anywhere in between. If I wake up too early (get less than 9.5 hours of sleep), I take my morning meds, pray, then about 3 to 4 hours later, go back to bed and sleep in until about 12 or 1 pm. And that essentially wastes my whole morning. But, that is my routine.

Recently I have been starting to stir around 8 am. I usually just call the cat and then she comes and curls up right super close to me. I usually then go back to sleep for an hour or so.
I then go downstairs to get my coffee. I then come back upstairs and the cat jumps in my lap as I sip coffee, catch up on Facebook, play games or whatnot till I wake up fully.

Wake at 7:30 take a shower get dressed hop in my car smoke a cigarette on the way to work.

I get up early and go to bed early. Usually start the day with some cheerios.

Right now, I haven’t been taking my trazodone so I wake up very early like 4-5 AM and get caffeine in me.

Im in bed by 6pm and wake up at 5am, where i check the forums im on with a ciggie and a coffee, with a glass of cider to get rid of the shakes (im alcohol dependant), after which i watch the previous nights telly ive recorded till ten - when i go down the pub till 2pm and come back and cook food and do housework. Not the healthiest of lifestyles - but im generally happy and content with my life.

Alarm set for 5 am. I’m up most days earlier due to the cat. I get up ready to go and looking forward to the day!

I sleep early. I’m usually in bed by 7pm but I love mornings. It’s so peaceful before everyone else figures it out!
