It varies... I probably average 6.30am most days but as some will have noticed can be as early as 5am or very occassionally, maybe one or twice a month 7am or 7.30am.. I call that a sleep in :lol:
I don't start work until 1pm (so I don't have to get up early) :rolleyes:

That is why I started this topic :happydance:
I start my work at 7 or 8 am. Depends.

Well for the last 6 months I'm used to waking up at 12 o'clock in the afternoon most of time with some rare exceptions :D and I'm used to going to bed by 3 o'clock at night.
-
Bedtime is usually around 2, maybe 3am.....I crawl out of bed around 9-10am. :razz:

A nearby railway bridge is being removed/replaced so I moved my wakey wakey time forwards from 05:30 to 05:20 on workdays, to avoid the bottlenecks that occur around 06:30 (I miss the traffic by about 10 mins) otherwise it would add around an hour to my daily journey to work.
Weekends I get up when I wake up. Today that was 11:15 :D

If I am working in London I have to be on that seven o'clock train, non stop (well only one stop) and be walking across the platform in London Euston for just after nine. So on those days I have to be up at 6...
When I am working in Heswall (near Liverpool for the noon UK guys) or North Yorkshire I usually don't have to be there till around 9 or 10 so 7:30 is good enough.
All of the above only amounts to three or four days four or five if I am lucky, in an entire month.
So..... on all the other morning I wake up whenever I wake, peek out, have a bit of a scratch, stroke the dog and tell him to hang on a bit longer then roll over and have another half hour, till whatever blooming time I want... More than fifty years of being run by the clock, well, nowadays I do NOT wear a watch unless it's a work day Yay :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:
-
monday-saturday I'm up at 3.30am and start work at 4.00am. :wacko: sunday is a sleep in day,usually till around 7.00-7.30am if I'm lucky. :mrgreen:

You mustn't have far to go to work, Steve.
Now then, when do I get up.
Whenever I damn well please. :happydance:
If I'm going surfing I get up about 30 -45 minutes before first light. In mid summer. I'm in the water at first light - around 4am. In midwinter that would be 6am
So around 3.30 in summer and 5.30 in winter.
If I'm working in Brisbane I get up around 5.15 am and leave home about 5.45am. Depending on which store I'm going to.
If I'm not working and there's no surf I'll normally get up about 6am, have a cuppa (tea - none of those tea bag crap either).
Then, if I've been surfing or am not working I'll get up again about 3 pm (after my afternoon nap). :cool: :cool: :whistler:
-
Gee.. This has turned out to be a fairly interesting thread :goodjob:
-
Depends.
If I go to bed at say 10.00 pm, I'd usually get up at 1.00 am, then 3.30 am & probably also 5.42 am.
I think it's caused by getting older.
Then I usually listen to the 7.00 am news on the radio & get up after that at about 7.05.
Unless it's a weekend, in which case I sleep in til about 8 or thereabouts :)

Good point.. I forgot about the other times I get up (can be anything between once and 6 or 7 times :rolleyes:)
-
I would expect that when I get to 55 :P
-
On work days I usually set the alarm for 6am, but the "snooze" button can get a decent workout.
On weekends I get to sleep in, and get up when the kids get up, usually around 6:15am!!

It just occured to me this thread topic might mean something else entirely. :Shocked:
Well, TBH it occured to me when I first saw it, only to be a bit disappointed when I read the first couple of posts. :whistler:

BTW: I thought I was early, but seeing couple of you, waking up at 3am and hours like that.. :Shocked:

Just while you are thinking about what time you get up, keep this question in your mind:
What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

I open my eyes. Can anyone does another thing? :D
-
After opening my eyes and after snoozing my clock for 5-10 times (I set the clock at 6:00 if I have to wake up at 6:20 for example), I go to bathroom definitely, do the stuff there and then go drink or make the coffee. Can't do anything before drinking the coffee.

I ceased to drink coffee in the mornings long time ago and switched to tea, think of it.
I may conclude I need about one hour before I'm ready to set off anywhere: having waken up, I have a breakfast, then I lie in the bed, watching TV, then bathroom.
-
When I was working I usually used to get up at 8:30 and get there by 9:30. Most of the time was having a bath and a cup of tea.
Though 6 years ago I retired at the grand old age of 54 and since then I mainly sleep very late - lunchtime usually. Not that I need many hours of sleep just have had bad insomnia for 15 years. When I was working I'd sometimes only have had two hours kip.
In the morning it is shower, shave, sh*t, shampoo. How come every bathroom activity starts with 'sh' ? :D Then a coffee or two.
-
I mostly rise at 6.oo am, first stop is the bathroom, then coffee, nothing gets done in our house till i've had my first coffee.
It's good being retired so that I can sleep in, I used to get up at 5.00 when I was working.

it only takes me and my son 8-10 minutes to get to work. :mrgreen: but it takes almost an hour to get home at night. :wacko: :disapp: my 19yo son is an apprentice welder/fabricator/fitter at my work :sweating: :lol:
-
Up around 7am, bedtime is usually between 10 and 10.30pm, sleep time is not usually much before midnight though :winker: :whistler: :whistler:

Stop off at the Pub??? :happydance: After opening my eyes and after snoozing my clock for 5-10 times (I set the clock at 6:00 if I have to wake up at 6:20 for example), I go to bathroom definitely, do the stuff there and then go drink or make the coffee.

I have tea if I'm not going anywhere. Coffee if I'm going surfing or driving to Brisbane to work.

Green tea is known to contain more caffeine, than coffee itself, by the way. :)
I used to drink coffee too much before, I used to have a cup of this beverage even before going to bed and one day I realized I had had enough of it, so I chose a tea. Nowadays I'm used to drinking coffee in the afternoon only, the rest is dedicated to tea: either Rooibos, Pu-Er or Oolong; some sorts of Pu-Er tea are considered to be much more stronger than coffee, by the way.

Just plain black breakfast tea for me.
I'm a man of simple tastes. :P

Yep, I have a mug which holds 1.75L (just realised that is bigger than most of our cars :lol: :lol:). Takes a whole kettle of water on it's own, Kim can't lift it when it's full :lol: :lol:
BTW; It's plain old breakfast tea for me too after a glass of apple or breakfast juice :razz:
-
Okay, I also usually drink a cup of tea before drinking a coffee, but that's like 1 min before, sometimes after. But definitely need to drink at least some water before drinking the coffee. So the coffee is not literally the first thing, but I could live without that cup of tea, but "not" without coffee. If I don't drink it, I get a headache in 1 hour and can't get rid of it for quite some time.
But what I find interesting is the fact, that a lot of you do breakfast in the morning. My first meal is (if I wake up at 6:20am) at 9-11 am. But a lot of times it happens, that I don't have time for breakfast and don't eat anything before the lunch (2-4pm) :confused:
-
Trish and I often have three (instant) coffees each, when we first get up in the morning..(over the first hour/hour and a half we are up ..) :D
Trish and I can have quite a bit of caffiene before we go to bed without it keeping us awake too... :winker:
-
This thread seems to be a club of coffee lovers :D
All right, let's find out what method you prefer to stick to in order to brew your lovely coffee.
I see that Dazz's one is an instant coffee.
Mine is geyser type coffee maker (I used to brew it with Espresso coffee maker before it broke down).
-
We have a basic coffee maker (that makes a good Cappuccino) but usually only use it when we have guests.. :goodjob:
-
I'm a 24/7 shift worker.
Caffeine is what I do......Coke, mochas its all good.
What time do I get up?
Depends on the day.....ranges from 4:20 in the am to 6pm.

Interesting..
Okay, if I have enough time I make/drink so called "Turkish coffee" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_coffee) (it's called like that here and different elsewhere I guess) - I drink it "black" (no milk) or with just little milk. Depends on my mood I guess. But, if I'm in a hurry, I make myself an espresso (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso) (I'm pretty sure you all know that one) with a coffee/espresso machine.

Do you also call that coffee pot, where you brew "Turkish coffee", Turka?

Hm..maybe, but haven't heard that expression yet myself. We call it "džezva" or I've read somewhere, that in English, it's written "Cezve" and we also call it "ibrik".
They can look "normal" as these (http://trgovina.mercator.si/wcsstore/Tehnika/images/products/a009/3838908048162_58_large.jpg) or something like this (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6CYzxT-XWeM/S7WSSDQvm4I/AAAAAAAADKA/oQLufCQ7SJE/s1600/VelikaNoc2.jpg) or even this (http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/62809/sarajevo_dzezve.jpg). Have all 3 of them.

Yes, this is what is called Turka in Russia. As far as I remember well this sort of plot is placed in a hot sand in Turkey to brew a real coffee. So our Turkish friends may confirm or bust my sentence.

Monday: It depends (usually between 5.50am till 7.00am)
Tuesday-Friday: 5.40am
Saturday, Sunday: no rule (from 7am to 10am usually)
First thing in the morning? Convincing myself that I need to get up... Normally 20 minutes between alarm clock ringing and me driving off to work (including breakfast). And NO coffee for me, thank you! :D
-
Monday to Friday my alarm goes off at 7 and I get out of bed at 7.10 after the news. After a shower, tidying up the kitchen after my son's midnight snack attack :rolleyes: and having breakfast, I'm out the door just after 8. At work by 8.30 or there abouts. :(
Weekends I sleep in until about 8.30. :happydance:
Most nights I'm in bed around 11. :sleeping:
-
Mon-Fri: Alarm goes off at 5.15am, I'm normally in the car by 5.30am, and then I spend the next 50-55min to wake up :rolleyes:
Arriving work - I'll turn on the PC, make myself a cup of TEA and start reading emails while I'm having breakfast that I prepared before I left the house the same morning....
Getting to bed: always to late :fum:

I don't think I could confidently rely on that.. :sweating:
The way they are changing the roads around the country.. :rolleyes: I have a late model Garmin GPS with the latest maps :whistler: :winker: BUT I still had the GPS lady getting lost every now and then in Brisbane and Adelaide "recalculating" where the road had been realigned etc...

Gee, I hope nobody took me seriously. Funny how us blokes always set our GPS to female voices. Mine is too, guess I'm used to being directed what to do by a ,,,,,,,,,, (sound of spade on head) :wacko:
