Getting up early on days off

[Cantw8]

do you??? I do...I don't know what it is but as much as I would like to sleep in, I just can't on days off. I want to get up and get the most out of my day

 

[FroggyinArk]

i'm ussually up at 430 every morning for about 30 min or so. deprnding on the schedual i might go back to sleeep or not, very seldom past 7 am though.

 

[tvguy]

I'm up at 2 am and at work at 3 am.
No, I don't get up early on my days off, as a matter of fact I often am going to bed at 2 am on my day's off, not getting up then.

Yes. We've been having 8:15am games of field hockey on Saturday mornings and being it's now school holidays we didn't have a game yesterday morning yet I woke up at 7:30am and couldn't go back to sleep. The worst thing is I can't really get started on my day because I'd wake the whole house up.

I get up early on my days off becasue I like to stay on my schedule
If I sleep too late then I am unable to sleep the next night

My husband usually gets up early on weekends. Like the OP said, he doesn't want to miss a minute of his free time.

I like to sleep late (8:30ish), but the past few weekends I keep waking up at 6-6:30am and can't go back to sleep. What's up with that? (right now, DH and the kids are still sleeping, but I've been up for half an hour.)

I have a very strong internal clock that won't let me sleep past 5:30. That's the time that I get up for work, so that is the time I also get up on my days off. Oh, and I have 2 cats that want fed!

Same here, I would love to get more done since I'm up anyway but I run out of the quieter things I can do.

 

[Mermaid02]

Usually I do. I hate it- but I can't help it.

 

[Good Ol Gal]

me too; my eyes pop open at 6:30 almost everyday.

I find that if I "force" myself to go back to sleep I feel horrible later in the day.

Yesterday was my last day of work with my school district for this school year. I stayed up late in order to FORCE myself to sleep late. And here I am. On the DIS. I didn't sleep in at all. I need to switch myself over from my "school" time clock to my "summer" time clock.

 

[aprilgail2]

Depends on what we have to do that day--typically on the weekends my daughter and I don't go to bed until 1am or so if we have nothing early so we sleep later-today I am up early to head out food shopping early but I am sure she will be sleeping until at least 10:00.

I always have grand plans to sleep in on days off but never seem to be able to do that so I am usually up by 6:00 am, usually 5:00 though.

 

[FlyingDumbo]

If I sleep too late on my day off my cat starts jumping on my face. Very annoying. His highness needs his breakfast. I am not sure how he does it, but it feels like he jumps off the ceiling.

 

[Meriweather]

Between 5:30 and 6 everyday

 

[momabbate]

Yes I wake up around five on my days off. Wouldn't be so bad but I can sleep all day on the days I have to be to work.

 

[lovesmurfs]

I get up at 4:30 normally, so on my days off I get up around 6. I do tend to nap on my days off, though!

 

[princesshannahsmom]

Unfortunately, I get up early on my days off. Not because I want to, but my internal clock just won't let me sleep in.

I get up at 5:30 during the week and it never fails I am WIDE awake at 6:00 on the weekends. If I try and force myself to sleep in, I get a raging headache that WILL NOT go away.

DH and DD sleep in, and it never fails that DH will wake up and say, "why did you get up so early?" I just want to scream when he says that!

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I am a morning person and get up early everyday. Sleeping in would be 8am for me.

I also get the headache like PP. Funny, huh? It is my allergies, I think. Or it could be the need for COFFEE, now that I think about it.

Im usually up around 8:30. I was just on vacation for 9 days and i think that was the latest i slept. It doesnt bother me as much on my days off as it does when i have to work nights, like this weekend i worked til 11pm last night and 10pm tonight. Then i have to work at 6am mon and tues. So i dont have set sleep scheduale. Today i slept til 9:30 because i didnt go to sleep til 1am
