What time do you start comping?

I just woke up early and thought I'd do some comping before work.

Does anyone wake up really early on purpose to get comping really early on in the day?

Good luck to everyone today!

    LOL I wake up about 5.30am every day, but I don't need to get up until about 7am, so I do most of my comping early doors :)

    I find early morning the best time, Normally about 6 depends on what shift I have been working , Very quiet no television on and no distractions ....seem to fly through them

    I'm wide awake by 5am, although this morning I was woken at 4.15am by howling off "ddddddaaaaaaddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyy" from a 2yr old, so that was me wide awake. 15 minutes of kettlebells, kettle then laptop on and catch up from the night before.

    I usually start at 4am. I suffer from insomnia so I'm always up and about from 3.30am! I don't usually comp past 9pm though as I like to switch off my laptop and relax before bed.

    I am usually the other way around I can start anywhere from now and comp on and off until 4am.

    I am in good company though as there are plenty of others here then too :eek:

    I do mine at work too lol. I'm kind of glued to my desk and can't really move as there's around a dozen people who may need me. I have a lot of quiet time (in-between manic times!). We're allowed to do what we want really, so long as we are looking at a computer screen so we don't miss emails, etc.

    I also do them on my phone in the eves. Never before leaving for work (I don't have a spare second!) but occasionally on the train if I remember there's one finishing before 9am that I want to enter.

    Just about to start mine now actually... :)
