Wake up, little Susie, wake up!

[SourdoughStomper]

Before I started working on my adrenal fatigue problems, getting up in the morning was insanely hard. I usually had more energy when I went to bed than I did after night's sleep. Not fun! It would take me a good 20 minutes of laying there, being miserably tired, to convince myself to drag my carcass out of bed.

However, with my efforts, it has become easier to wake up in the morning. Even to the point that once I'm awake, I'm really awake and there's no sleeping in with ease. (That presented quite a challenge for me when Daylight Saving ended. It took me about a week before I could sleep in until the "new" 6 am.)

A different story for my girl, though. Sadly, my daughter with her teenage body and brain, desperately wishes she could sleep in until 9 am and HATES getting up. She's actually considering starting a petition with her classmates to lobby the school to have a later starting time.

Anyway, what about you?

I work nights, so mornings are like my evenings. Except for on my weekends (right now, yay!) where I stay up like a normal person.

Nevertheless, whether it's waking up in the evening or in the morning, I've never been one who enjoys waking up early, or... well I'll get until to that. Right out of high school I could sleep in until 2PM. However, I have been physically unable to sleep in that long for years now. I don't know if its age, or a matter of medical problems.

I hate waking up 'early', as in before 7 - 8 hours of sleep, but if I've got that I'm typically happy to wake up now. In fact, there have been weekends where I cut my sleep by an hour or two just to have another hour or two to myself.

I'm strange, I know... I really don't know how I'm supposed to answer this question... I'm all over the place.

I read an article a number of years ago, can't remember where, that said that teenagers body clocks run on a different schedule to adults. Basically, they need quite a lot of sleep, but from about two in the morning til 12 noon is when their bodies would need it. Don't know if it's true for all teenagers but it certainly was for me! Just wish I'd known it at the time, I often wondered if I had something wrong with me!!
Now, I mostly can't sleep past 8.30 even if I had the day off to be able to. Unless I'm ill. I set my alarm 15 mins earlier than I need it, just so I can prepare myself! But once I'm up I'm chirpy, always was even as a teenager!! Think that annoys some people  :0D

You ask this like I ever sleep.

When I was younger I couldn't wake up to save my life. Weekends meant sleeping until noon or later.
Now waking up at 9 am is "late", I don't even have to set an alarm to be up before then. I think my medicine, change in sleep meds, and vitamin supplements keep this going. Without it, I wouldn't wake up because I'd be too weak to manage it. Medical problems contribute to it greatly.

I love mornings, so I'm glad to be able to enjoy them again.

No, but my hatred isn't limited to just morning people - until about noon (or whenever the caffeine really hits) I hate everyone and everything, then I'm good til the caffeine crash hits and then I despise everything again.  Except more coffee, or whoever brings me more coffee.  These things are exempted from my rage.

I am definitely not a morning person.  I have to get up at 6 during the weekdays, but I usually sleep until around 8 on the weekend. And getting up earlier than 6, even if I get a decent amount of sleep puts me in a crappy mood.  On the plus side, I do (theoretically) have more time in the afternoon after work.

My workday is 7:30 to 4, and getting out of bed to get ready at 6 AM really really irritates me, haha.  I feel the best when I can stay up until midnight or so and then sleep until 8:30 or 9 AM.  Half the time I don't start feeling creative/ambitious until 9 or 10 PM, which is technically when I should be going to bed during the week. :/

All depends. Did I get home at 11 pm and have to be up at 6 am? OR did I get home at 5 pm and have to get up at 6 am? Throw in the factor of how many days there are of late nights Mon-Fri and equate in the dog getting me up at 4:30am to do business and you can imagine that some days I am quite a salty sailor in the morning. No, I do not drink coffee.

For the most part, I am a morning person. I never used to be. I used to be a total night owl. But as I've gotten older, I like waking up early. Though I am in my top shape in the afternoon, I hate when I sleep in that late. It seems not matter how late I am up, I wake up early. I could be up until 4AM and still wake up around 7AM or 8AM. My job has my body programmed to wake up early.

If I slept well I'll be okay in the morning, and I don't even drink coffee. But if I didn't sleep well LOOK OUT.
