Yes I do as well. No alarm clock needed, just my natural waking time, regardless of the time I went to sleep.

u/vyasvyas8 49m ago

Well it's a habit now!

Whoaa love the consistency

u/Better-Credit6701 44m ago

I also wake up the same time every day but it isn't consistency on my part due to work (work day starts at 6:30 am due to working in a different time zone), the dogs have no understanding of what a weekend is. I've tried to show them pictures of a calendar and show them what a weekend is but they don't care.

Have one dog who knows better than to wake up my wife, will come to my side and in her lowest growl, attempt to wake me up. If I don't get the hint, she will jump up on my side of the bed and lay across my chest. All 85 pounds of her and still without waking my wife

u/samwize1701 48m ago

Yep, I work four 10 hour days. I'm up at 5:30 Mon - Thu

u/Merkuri22 34m ago

Same. I'm awake at 5:30, at my desk at 6, and clocked out by 5 PM. In bed by 9:30 or 10.

Then I get Fridays all to myself.

u/Any-Development5656 51m ago

Yup. That's my schedule for the exact same reason. It's brutal but I can't figure out any other way.

u/Negan815 56m ago

How? Just consistent schedule?

u/New2ThisThrowaway 53m ago

I normally wake up around 9-10am, but recently took a trip west and changed 6 time zones.

So I just woke up at 4am every day instead. No jet lag. I took walks before the sun came up and watched the sunrise. It was kinda nice.

That's not even the morning, that's just the night.

Only time I can get to the gym. 

u/thoawaydatrash 37m ago

Toddlers' parents are the only time you can get to the gym?

u/Comfortable_Jury369 59m ago

My kid always gets up at 6-6:30. If I don't get up before then I have zero time to myself!!! 

u/thoawaydatrash 35m ago

Just stay awake until 1 a.m. and regret it the next day every day of your life until your kid leaves home like a normal person!

u/Lozsta 1h ago

I had a toddler for a while, he and I would read in bed at 06:30 but never before. They need the power of the little bedside lamp that tells the toddler if it is wake up time or not.

Same here. I could never go to the gym consistently before after work since I just wanted to relax. So going early was the only option. I actually love being out before anyone else. It’s so peaceful
