    No way. I get up quite late because if I got up early is have a long boring day ahead. At present its raining so I'm stuck indoors on the Ipad getting bored.

    I love being up early. I used to have terrible sleeping patterns (4am - 12pm-ish), but when I was in hospital last year I switched completely. We had to be up at 6am in the Acute ward for weigh-in and I liked it, so even when I moved to the Progression side of the ward and no longer had daily weigh-ins I started getting up early. I used to set my alarm for 5am, be up, dressed and ready by 5:45am-ish, play some Bananagrams (a word game) to relax, read, do some uni work, go down to the garden, and have much energy by about 7:30am, it's my favourite part of the day. :)

    I'm on medication now which makes me sleep for ages (around 11-12 hours every night) so I tend to wake up around 9am now, and I miss that part of the day.

    No I hate it. I need a good 45 minutes in bed before I even consider getting out.

    When I left for work this morning, my neighbour was washing his car at 7.45 on a Bank Holiday. Go back to bed man!

    I often worked a 3 shift system so I used to sleep at various times.

    These days I go to bed very late and get up very late. :(

    I'm an early bird, even on holidays I'm up by about 7am at the latest. I love it when im up and the rest of the house is asleep especially in the summer when I can sit out in the garden with my coffee listening to the birds.
    Agree.

    I now have to be up by 7 am, at the latest.

    Even just gone 5 past, and I feel like a **** :D

    Yes. Generally I like to get things done before midday. Whether it's shopping or a trip out, I like to start early and get back for lunch if possible. I prefer not to take the car out after that as some scum-sucking low-life wazzock of a neighbour will shove his old wreck into my parking spot.

    Sounds like you're living for your car man...

    I hate early mornings. I always have. Even as a child I'd have to be dragged from my bed :D I always wake up between 5-6am, take the dogs to the yard then go back to bed until it's time to get ready for work. I prefer going out in the afternoon and evening - the light and the birdsong is incredible :)

    If I've had a good sleep then early is fine, but I do hate routine

    I am definitely an early morning person, I am up four mornings a week by 5am and in the gym by 6.45.

    I do find myself dozing off around 2pm, but most foreign country's have a siesta around that time so it seems natural to have a cat nap in front of the TV, and I wake up feeling refreshed after a quick doze. :)

    Oh yes, there is nothing better than going for a long walk down to the beach at around six in the morning. Everything is calm and peaceful, I can watch dolphins and seals and there is nobody to bother me. Best time of the day and then the rest of the world wakes up and ruins it.

    I totally agree with the above. I am fortunate in that I work from home (graphic design), and stick to the same routine 7 days a week - I am up early every morning and off with my two doodles, we usually have a six mile long beach all to ourselves. Which is just as well as my nine month old Labradoodle greets every person and dog as a long lost relative and our walks can sometimes take forever:blush:.

    I come home do a little work in my office, and we are out again in the afternoons - bliss...

    I am glad I live in Northumberland, the most sparsely populated county in England and our many beaches usually have just a handful of people on them at most.
