What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

[DWinVA]

Usually between 3-4 am. At work by 4:15 am almost everyday. Grew up milking dairy cows....hard to sleep late since then.

God Bless.

Like the title says, what time do you get up in the morning?

I cant sleep past 4-430am anymore

I am the same. I start my refuge hike at 530 am hiking towards the east pre-dawn.
That way I have the sun to my back to take photos on the way back to the truck.
I usually hike 8 miles every other morning and I'm done by 8:30am so lot of time left in the morning.

My sleep schedule is nuts. Have no issues falling asleep, but can’t stay asleep. At least once, will have to get up and pee. After that, will toss and turn till time to get up. Wife has sleep issues also. Will get on her phone texting or web searching, lights up the room and wakes me up. If I get 6 hours of sleep, I feel great.

If I sleep for 6 hours, I passed out, not fell asleep

I naturally get up at 5:00 for most of my life, but we have a special needs rescue dog that gets up somewhere between 3:30 and 4:30, so I take one for the team so the misses can sleep. It’s really quite weird. Most days I watch some Pakistani dude on YouTube welding something he shouldn’t, and fall asleep on the couch until 5ish.

I get up when I want to.

When I had some health issues four years ago I had about a year where I had sleep issues. I got pretty run down. I would fall asleep for a few minutes then wake up. After I recovered my sleep got better than before. Glad it did. Sleep issues are a bear to deal with.

Morning routine : 0415 to start the coffee, take dogs out, feed and walk them all by 0530

My wife finally got me to take a sleep test. I have sleep apnea. Waiting for my CPAP machine to arrive. I'm hoping it will make a difference.

I started using the c-pap unit last Dec. Much better sleep now. As for when I get up, it depends on what is going on. Normally around 6:30 AM.

I live pretty far north. If it was in North America it would be at a similar parallel to Calgary. We have super early sunrises and sunsets now in June.

5-6 AM without the alarm clock. If I don't get enough sleep 6 am with the Alarm clock.

 

[Mojave]

Sleep without a CPAP isn't sleep.

 

[PlumberED]

Usually 4-5:00. This morning I slept in until 5:30. I started using a CPAP about 5 years ago, it really helps me to sleep better. I feel much more rested now when I wake up.

 

[Bluefish]

Depends on when the sun comes up. Summer, I have been getting up 5:30-6, winter it’s 7-7:30. I find it hard to get up regularly without it being light out.

Yesterday I woke up around 0215, flopped around for an hour and finally just got up. Had my coffee and went back to bed at 0415. I fell asleep pretty quickly and woke up at 0915. Those were five hours of good sleep! I seem to do this kind of thing quite a bit. But can't take a nap later in the day to save my life, even when I stay up after waking up really early.

When I was younger I could nap like crazy; haven't taken a nap probably in 20 years

Just the opposite here, I could never nap until the past 8-10 years……old age I guess.

Same, my father is a great napper. Takes 10-20 minutes a couple times a day. He is up at 3 am though. In bed by 8pm.

Before CPAP I could nap, now I don't need or want to.

 

[Buzzsaw]

CPAP user here too. I'm 72, also had restless leg syndrome. I went to a sleep doctor, he put me on an iron supplement and had me set a strict sleep schedule. I set my alarm at 7:30 every morning, NO naps, then shut everything down at 11:00pm, read for a half hour or so. Sleep now comes quick and deep.
