What time do you get up in the morning?

My hubby gets up at 6am to go to work and I try to get up at about 8am or else I too end with a head-ache if I fall back to sleep! (I like to sit in bed and knit / read ) Although on a Tuesday and Wednesday my DD goes to college and I'm up at 6.45 - she suffers from teenageitus!( reluntance to get up before noon) and I help out at a charity shop but I can't seem to lie-in as I like the mornings

My hubby also brings a cup of tea tanith! and there is something soooo nice about listening to the rain and not having to go out!

I used to leap out of bed immediately I woke but haven't done that for some months - just lie there listening to the Today programme; the time soon passes particularly when it's an interesting news day.

...... now if only I could find a way of getting the paper boy to deliver the newspaper to my bedroom, rather than just through the front door downstairs, my life would be perfect.

Sometimes I am up very early (around 5 am) as I wake up and can't get back to sleep, but I don't get dressed until arounf 0930 and have been known, like others, to still be in my nightie and dressing gown at lunchtime.

The first time we went to England in June, after moving to Spain, we got up when it was getting light and it was only 4 a.m! The length of days does not vary so much beteween summer and winter in Spain (nearer the equator), so we had forgotton it got light that light that early in the UK. At the moment here in the Spanish mountains it goes from dark at 0730 to light at 0800 and then does not get dark until around 1900.

I refuse to even contemplate getting up until 'Book of the Week' finishes on R4! (10.am.) Friends and family have instructions to never, ever ring before 10.30 am. Ye Gods...I spent a fortune on memory foam pillows, mattress toppers and Egyptian cotton sheets, DAB radio etc and I'm bloomin' well gonna enjoy 'em :rotfl:

You're right about the rain and not having to go out, its just nice to drink the tea and the decide whether to read or watch the news, after years of leaping out of bed and dashing off to work its heaven.....

I would dearly love to stay in bed a little longer in the winter, but the dog needs a wee, I need a wee, and after that we're both wide awake and want our brekkie. It would feel a bit slack to slope off back to bed after all that lot.
We do make up for it with a siesta after lunch

I'm not retired, only another 20+ years to go.

I get up at 5.30. I'm a bit sloooooow in the morning.

DH gets up earlier!

When we are on holiday we lie in till 6am though:)

When I worked I was always up at 6 a.m. and it really dragged me down in the dark winter months. Now I'm retired, I rarely wake before 8 a.m. in winter and the joy of not having to set an alarm clock is intense. In the summer I'm normally awake earlier with the daylight and find it much easier to get out of bed when the garden beckons.
