Good morning
 

Curious: Who wakes up first in the morning - You or the sun?

Me. I'm awake before the sun, the hubbie, and the dog. We usually wake up in that order, too!

Good morning.:clap2:

:shocked:
I watch the sun come up from the lanai in and enjoy the colors in the sky and the variety of reflections in the water. Good morning fellow early birds.

Good morning world and TOTV.

Was up early this morning as well!

Just about ready to go to bed. Glad to see that others enjoy the night!

The dog. Sometime after walking the dog, the sun decides to put in an appearance.

Me! I get up every morning when it is dark. Early riser. But see the sun rise everyday and this morning the sky, painted with reds and pinks and several shades of blue, was spectacular! My dog sleeps until 10:00!

Agree - it was a lovely sunrise this morning.

Me and the cat are always up before the sun. Wife and doggy like to sleep in. It was a beautiful sky this morning.

I get up at 5:15 every morning. Most of the young people today sleep till noon...
Have a Great Day everyone!

Just love the early morning. Years ago, had to be to work by 5:00am, so still programmed.

Ok, guess I am the odd one...the sun most def. gets up before me.

always me..in bed at 2am up by 5am

Rather see the sun set
 

Oh my....I keep asking myself that when I "get older" will I wake up early like others do? I really want to be able to get up around 7 but just not happening. I never was a morning person and I'm still not. The sun rises, in my world, about 8:30 am. It sets about midnight! So does getting up early come with age or not? Maybe it's in the same category as eating large meals vs eating small meals. Older people seem to eat smaller meals. I look forward to the day when I don't eat so much!

Not sure, but wisdom does. I'll tell you when I get there.;)

Wow...this is me word for word.

If I have to get up for something, then I get up around 6:30. If I have nothing to do, I usually wake up about 7:30, but I really enjoy laying about in bed until 8:00 or 8:30 or until I feel like getting up.

I also don't understand this business of being programmed. I had jobs, for most of my life, that required getting up at 4:00 on weekends. I always hated having to do that. Now that I don't have to, I don't.

I see all of these people on here waking up before the sun rises and I am beginning to understand why everything in The Villages shuts down at 9:00pm.

I really don't care what time I get up; spent most of my life getting up at 5:30 so now that I don't have to I don't-just get up whenever I wake up and say thank you but usually about the same time as the sun-lol

My answer depends on when the sun comes up! In the winter I beat the sun by a mile - this time of year the sun beats me! :icon_bored: I get up between 5:45 and 6:30 every morning.

I try real hard to go to bed before the sun rises. Don't always succeed. Does that count?

I missed this post this morning because I was already up and gone. I almost always am up before 5:00 AM, usually showered and at breakfast someplace by 6:00 AM, and doing what ever work or fun I am doing for the day by 6:30 AM. This morning at 6:15 I was building the frame to convert a kitchen cupboard to hold two trash containers. Had it finished and operational by 9:00 AM and on to the next endeavor.

It feels like another time zone where I am
 

Where I am this summer the sun rises at 5:15ish AM :shocked:. I am stressing about something or not feeling well if I wake up before that.

I sleep much later in the morning when in TV, which I think is due to how late the sun rises compared to where I spent the summer.

I still am amazed that TV sunrise is 1 h 15 m later than where I am in eastern MA.

I love to sit on the lanai and listen to the birds & the frogs. They have an order of when they join in.... The sunrise is a gift to see. I would prefer to sleep longer but at least watching the earth say good morning helps make early mornings worth while. Coffee, Lanai, Birds, Sunrise...priceless!

:agree:

Sun is up first, That is why God invented Roosters!!! (<:)

in the morning we ly in bed looking out our bedroom window and looking out over our pond as the sun starts to rise causing pink and orange and blue and white streaks in the sky and all that color reflects off of the water...soooo beautiful

We are spending the month in Marblehead Ma and the current sunrise is 5:15 AM and sunset is 8:22 PM. The sun wakes me up too early here, but it definitely is first to rise.

Same here. 3-5 miles every day.
Got to beat the heat.

Between 5:30 and 5:45.

Way before the sun, and I wake up the rooster!!! :jester:

Thank GOD the paper comes at 5 AM so it gives me something to do, before planning my day's errands.

I also enjoy the lanai in the morning, having coffee reading The Daily Sun and listening to the birds.

The sun is always up way before me.
I am a night owl and guess I need to work on
getting up early now that I live in T.V.
I feel like a slacker!

Love the mornings

I'm a night person, always have been (ask my mom). For some weird reason I have always hated going to bed at night. Consequently I am usually up until 2am or later and sleep in quite late. I really would love to enjoy getting up early....I did it under duress for years while working and raising kids. I always feel guilty because I sleep late, there seems to be an idea that late sleepers are lazy. The reality is, what is the difference between you going to bed at 10 and getting up at 6 or me going to bed at 2 and sleeping til 10? Do any other night people share this guilt, like if someone comes to the door at 9:30 and you are still in bed you are embarrassed? Truthfully though, I do wish I could watch the sunrise. Fortunately my hubby is right with me on this!

When I first moved to The Villages I was amazed at how early people get up in my neighborhood. And they were amazed at how late of a riser I am (not that late in my mind). But now the paper in my driveway or lack thereof is our indicator as to my cognitive state.
