What time do U wake up?

[jimbo2012]

I find that I get up about 5-5:30 since moving here, back in NY it was like 7-7:30.

not sure why?

How about you?

:thumbup:4:00 am:22yikes:, but I'm still working:cryin2::cryin2:, on non-working days 6:00 or 6:30 am.. But when I finely retire Plan on sleeping in to at least 7:00 to 7:30 AM:D... All the years of getting up early habit hard to break...

[PaPaLarry]

Always had to be to work for 5:00 am, and to this day still get up at 5. BUT, nothing like that early afternoon nap!!!!!

8:00 & afternoon nap

[AriaGrandparents2013]

Afternoon naps are wonderful........put on some mellow Jazz and sit back in comfortable high back couch and presto.........out like a light..!!........60 minutes later ready to give it another go.

go to be around midnight..get up at 4:10am everyday no alarm....just get up don't have to be to work till 11am so i get lots done

[Happinow]

I'm a late riser...always have been. It's usually 8:30 and no naps for me. But I don't go to sleep until between 11 and 12 at night. I remember the good old school days where we would have to get up at 6:30-7 and wondered why they would make teenagers get up so early. I hated it!

When the dog goes off....I tried to turn down his volume, but it didn't work.

The times you mention are just the opposite for me. When in MA I find I am up earlier 5:30 - 6, but here in TV I tend to wake up around 7A. I always thought (for me) it is because of the sun rising much later here in TV....

[l2ridehd]

I have been waking up at between 4 and 5, up no later then 5:30 for 50 years so it's a hard habit to break. Stay up until 10:30 or 11:00 but still wake up early. Sleep is a habit and I am working to break it.

[Serenoa]

still working, but haven't had to set an alarm clock for several years.

internal alarm goes off always around 5am, very often right on the dot.

wonder how that works?

[gocubsgo]

When I used to work at 5AM and leave the house by 4:30, I was always amazed at the number of people that were up at that hour down here when they don't have to be!

[2BNTV]

Since being retired, I wake-up when I am fully rested. I have nowhere to go at the moment so time seems like a non-issue.

When I have to get somewhere, that alarm gets me up. Life is good. :smiley:

[rubicon]

4:00 AM without an alarm

[PaPaLarry]

Wow, Asianthree, You have some energy level!!!!!!

[mac9]

When I was working, I had a 2 hour commute, so I would be up by 4:30. When I retired, I swore that I would never get up again @ 4:30 and I don't. I am now a night owl and go to bed around 4-4:30 and am up by 10. Life is good.

You've got the right attitude and you sure got there fast. I'm proud of you!

[jblum315]

Up at 5 a.m. every day no matter what time I go to sleep

[MR&VAF]

I'm up between 6 and 6:30 everyday.

[jimbo2012]

Afternoon naps are an indicator of certain issues and should not be ignored.

IOW you shouldn't need one on a regular basis

[KittyKat]

I am definitely not a day person, never have been. Hated day shift. Mostly worked 2nd shift. Go to bed around 3am & get up betwn 11 & 12.

[asianthree]

Wow, Asianthree, You have some energy level!!!!!!

i don't need much sleep, but if i wake up the other half he is not a happy camper..so i run at 4am, when i am in TV there are more people up than you would think

I'm another night owl. The nice thing about retirement, we can all do our own thing.

[redwitch]

A night owl (usually down between midnight and 1:00 am) but still an early riser -- 5:30 am. I'm one of those lucky ones who seems to run on 4-5 hours sleep with catnaps (no more than 15 minutes, usually even less). Have been this way my entire life.

Hey JIMBO, I had to laugh. While we were there we got soo tired...you know...go, go, go ( we have to get it all in during our week stay of vacation there). We are younger than some on this board; but one day we had a 2 nap day!!!!hahahaha. Got up early golfed. Took nap. Went to pool ....napped ...then went to dance to with Scooter. I know that when you live there that you learn to pace yourself....but not us on vacation

Ok I admit this is a hijack----back to when you get up ....

I'm finding as I get further into my golden years, I need less sleep. I used to crave eight hours a night, or I'd be tired the next day and yawning. Now I seem to be fine with six hours, no naps, not tired. I wonder if this is something that happens to everyone as they age.

After my third cup of coffee !!!!

I too had a 2 hour commute. Got up at 5am for 37 years. Hated it! When I retired, I swore I would never get up at that hour again unless it was SUPER important. I also swore I would not do or go anywhere before 10am. Yes, I might miss out on stuff, especially outside stuff in TV but I am living the life I want and am very happy. So, I get up around 8:30 or so and take mornings on my terms. I get teased by one of my neighbors about when I pickup the paper. It is all in good fun.
