@Pony my stupid rooster will start crowing a couple of hours before sunrise. Seriously considering chicken noodle soup (rooster noodle soup?) when the weather gets colder.
Thankfully I have some hearing loss, so it’s not too big a deal and I really only hear it if I am up anyway.
I am RETIRED and I take that responsibility seriously! I wake up depending on a) when I decide to go to sleep; b) what I have planned for the evening before; or c) whether I’ve made a commitment for the next day. Every once in a while it’s because d) one of my neighbors, or a construction vehicle on the street, decides that “X” a.m. is an okay time to start making noise, because it’s legal. (D) is my least favorite. (I woke up at ~5:30 am for nearly 40 years, for work reasons, so I no longer feel guilty about staying up late/sleeping in.)
@DavidChurchRN I feel your pain. I work 7on/7off, normally 2nd shift after 25yrs in the local ER, I am the one that will frequentlyh get called up to work (as the only nurse) in our small community hospital ER if the 3rd shift nurse bails out.
@ebatch My church rents space for another church so our worship service is at 4pm. It took me about a year and a half to get used to it but now I really like the schedule. Once we get our own. Space we’ll likely go back to mornings, but until then I’m going to enjoy my lazy Sunday mornings and brunch with community group.
I’m curious about what “early morning” means to different people. For instance I would consider 8:30 to be mid morning because I’m a teacher and by 8:30 on a weekday I’ve already gone to the gym, had a pointless meeting, and taught my first period class. Though when I had a 9-5 job 8am was early morning to me.
Depends. Usually around 10am, unless my wife has a “project” for the day. Then I get up earlier so I don’t have to hear how I “messed up the whole day”, all day long.
Wake up @ 9 or 9:30, like every other day. Do morning ablutions, fix breakfast, read the Sunday paper while eating. Maybe around 11, have an hour’s nap.
The dog detects the dawn, then licks me in the face. I pull the covers over my head, then he sits on me for a period of time. After a while he begins to bathe himself, which somehow makes me feel like I should go to the bathroom. Afterwards he takes me out for a walk because fair is fair, or something. With any luck I can get back to sleep after that, and the process repeats itself.
I get up at sunrise every day. If I don’t, our chickens, ducks, geese and quail will gang up and murder me.

@chienfou @Pony Share that chicken noodle soup with your neighbors. They will find it most delicious.
@chienfou @mike808 I have 10 roosters. Nuff said.
@chienfou @Pony Sounds like a feast at the local homeless shelter.
@mike808 Bite your tongue! Those are my boys! I breed chickens, so I kind of need them.
@Pony I was referring to @chienfou about his rooster being a PITA. Blame the scapegoat for the mixup.
@aetris is clown with the tear-away face. Here in a flash and gone without a trace.
@mike808 @Pony Well, one of them anyway. (Think how happy the remaining rooster would be! And probably too tired to crow much.)

@cbl_wv You do you! That’s awesome! You’ve earned it!
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
This assumes I actually get up on Sundays.
Sunday? Do you mean Sleepday? I take “day of rest” seriously…
Whenever @mediocrebot’s mom wants breakfast.
/giphy burn
Early morning because either the child, dog, cat, or my infernal internal clock, have decided to wake my sorry butt up by 530.
Usually about 5:30. Every day.
Biphasic sleep, ask me how!
@therealjrn mmmmmmm siesta!
I wake up at the same time every day (415-430) as that’s when my body wakes me up.
I get up at 1755 every Sunday because I work every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night at the hospital 1900-0730
@DavidChurchRN Graveyard shift workers, unite!
I work 1700 - 0330 on Sunday and the rest of the week 1800 - 0430. I love working 4 10s.

Well Sunday is family day at my parents, so up early to shower and her over there!
Around 8 to get everyone to church by 9:30.

Evidently 0500 (today). Not counting the 3 times I got up to pee after drinking coffee late into the night on Saturday…

@ddbelyea -
Really early: any time prior to 6:30 AM.
Morning: 6:30 - 11:00-ish
Early morning: 6:30 - 8:30-ish.
Early in the morning: 6-ish to 7:30.
Midmorning: 9-ish to 10-ish
Late morning: 10-ish to 11:30-ish
Around noon: 11:30-ish to 12:30-ish
@aetris @ddbelyea What time is brunch time?
@aetris @ddbelyea @therealjrn I’d guess that depends on when you are serving brunch for them
@Kidsandliz That doesn’t even make sense.
@therealjrn It was a joke. You wanted to know when brunch was. I was joking that it would be whatever time you’d be making it for everyone.
Settle down, you two.
Depends. Usually around 10am, unless my wife has a “project” for the day. Then I get up earlier so I don’t have to hear how I “messed up the whole day”, all day long.
Why on earth would I?

I am always up 6:30-7AM. But if I don’t need to be up, I go back to sleep until 8:30-9AM. A nice perk of retiring at a younger age.

With any luck I can get back to sleep after that, and the process repeats itself.
@aetris Have you considered that maybe he begins the bathing ritual before he wakes you? Just sayin’…
@macromeh - Oh, at some point, that dog has bathed the parts that he bathes, before he bathes me.
8AM this Sunday morning, but that was after lying awake from 3AM to 5AM pondering the universe. Stupid brain.
@macromeh did you come to any conclusions?
@moonhat
42
@macromeh @moonhat You arrived at the universal answer, so, it wasn’t a total waste of time!
I’m retired from a job that required me waking at 5AM.
On weekends, I’d sleep until maybe 6AM.
Now… I can’t sleep past 6AM.
@daveinwarsh I think you can file for disability for that…
I’mma head back to sleep now.
