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

Younger geezer here, but I usually wake up around 4:30am. Wife doesn’t like it but hoping it pays off when the first kid shows up soon.
Lol my youngest is now 12 and nothing will or can prepare a new dad for the lack of sleep they will get. I am up at 5 every day and lucky to sleep till 7 on the weekend. My kids still make sure I don't get sleep. With 3 kids i am running somewhere just about every night.

Unless I’m going hunting, fishing or have an early appointment, I wake up whenever I wake up, or the dogs decide it’s time. This time of year that usually between 5:30-6:00. In winter it’s more like 7:00. Fortunately, my job is very flexible on when I work. I don’t work hours, I work results and that gives me total flexibility.

For nearly 50 duck seasons I was up around 3:00 AM to go duck hunting and I did that a lot every season. 8 years ago, I shifted my duck hunting to Idaho from California and we often hunt afternoons and shooting time is later anyway due to a northerly latitude, so now when I’m duck hunting I usually sleep in until 6:00 and often past 7:00. Afternoon duck hunting is a wonderful thing.
 
I'm 61 and still work a full-time job. I've always been nocturnal and rarely go to bed before 1am. I wake up every morning at 7am like clockwork. If I have to get up early to go fishing or hunting, I'm in bed by 11pm and have no problem getting going.
 
I find I can get up around 4:30-5:00, eat breakfast with a cup of coffee and then, go right back to sleep. I have a 2.3 mile commute and don't have to be at work until around 8:00 am.
