What is this "morning" of which you speak?






What time is now?

 

[sparkling]

As the mornings get lighter so I wake up earlier. I like waking when its not quite light and you can hear all the birds singing away. It makes me feel more in tune with nature.

However come anytime after about 5 in the evening and its an effort to stay awake. I sit there yawning away rubbing whats left of any ealier applied eye makeup all over my face and basically just waiting to go back to bed.

It seems I only have a certain amount of productive hours in me so if I get up earlier I go to bed earlier.

Is this what was known in olden times as 'getting up early?'

I do this quite a lot - get out of bed around 5, do a bit of preparation/planning for the day ahead or catch up on marking. I find that I really resent having to work in the evenings - having taught all day & got out about 6 most evenings, I feel like that's my time in the day. Doesn't always work like that, of course...

I've started swimming before work; the baths open at 6.30 and there's quite a band of us. I'm all for not giving my peak time to work. I don't have to be in until 10am some days, so I don't go in 'til I have to. I feel tons better for it.

What time do you go to bed?

I am still experimenting with the concept.. I got up at 7 this morning and read me book.. Given that I am now a semi-retired civil servant this still allowed ample time to crawl into work for 10

peace and love.

I go to bed around ten/half ten which means I've had time to watch whatever was on telly at 9. I should also add that I leave the house at 8.30 to get to work - if I had a longer journey i doubt this would work so well.

I love having done stuff before 10am. On a saturday I usually get up at 8am and by 10 I've already been to the farmer's market, and planned my day.

I can't stand lying in bed in the mornings, makes me feel like I'm wasting my life. Get up! Do stuff!

Exercise in the morning?

I can just about get up the energy to make a cup of tea and roll a fag before I have to go back to bed until mid-day.

I feel like I'm wasting my life, but I love staying in bed. I only got out of bed at 12:30pm today

i work shifts so if i need to be in at 7, i have to get up around 5.30 anyway just to do vital stuff, so dont think it would work for me

Pfff I got up at 2:30pm. That said I really enjoy getting up when it's still dark feels like i'm getting all the preperation stuff (breakfast, shower) out of the way so that I can spend all day doing stuff. Exercise in the morning is tops, doing it feels like shit for the first two weeks but afterwords it becomes an energy boost.
