Just been trying to sleep early to wake up eat and surprisingly it's not working for me. Even if I sleep at 4 AM, I'd leave mt bed at 8 AM. Or, when I slept before midnight, I still woke up at 8 AM. But this isn't really the culture in my family, nor it's seen as normal in the society here.

Just posting a poll to see if it's Stackers' inherent behaviour or I'm running out of (our) lane.

So, what time do you generally get up?

4 AM4.5%

5 AM9.1%

6 AM18.2%

7 AM4.5%

8 AM18.2%

After 8 AM 45.5%

Really depends on the timezone I'm in! With most my colleagues between Euro and Pacific time, I tend to get up early when on the Western side of the Atlantic, and late when I'm on the Eastern side.

Ufff!! Must be tough for you to cope with. We have single timezone here but I wonder how would I react if I went to far East in India where the Sun rises at least 2 hours before where I actually live.

It's just hard when I switch west->east so I take a day of recovery after, mostly because those are often red-eye flights. It comes much more naturally the other direction.

That's obviously my bigger concern too. Although I won't just travel in planes from west to east, I'll still have to adjust big time. 1 day rest is a good idea, I might need more.

It depends on a lot of things. Until my mid 30s I did this across 3 continents - literally across the world - once every other week. It was ok to just skip a night and tough it out once a week, but that's not been possible for a longer time for me now. So I just try to be rested as much as possible pre-flight nowadays and then minimize downtime to 1 day. Not drinking in-flight helps a lot because you sleep better. Flying business is a prerequisite though; flying coach I would probably need more than a day too.

Yeah. I too take rest before commencing longer travels. It just helps a lot especially now when I'm +35,

Seems like my body nerds a better approach towards my sleeping or waking up habit.

I've always thought that a man can complete his sleep anytime, the timing and duration is different for everyone. Now if I don't sleep for around 7 hours, I feel tired but before I almost always use to sleep 4-5 hours and then working too, never felt so.

I'm trying to adopt to at least 5 AM routine but for some of the other reason I hardly fall asleep before 2 AM on any day.

These days I wake up between 6-7am.

When I used to work playing gigs later at night I got up around 10am. I tried to be in bed before 3am. Some of the other musicians would go to bed at 7am and wake up around 3pm.

I can understand it. We too have a tradition of whole night music playing, not letting sleep anyone. These are religious ceremonies but DJ play too loud everywhere.

My cat wakes me up. It's miserable

Ahh! They are really too rude and always behave like the master of you. That's why I don't have them now. Currently I have a couple of parrots, couple of dogs, a tortoise, Pigeons, even a pair of peacocks at my village house.

An old Chinese proverb “no man who wakes up before the sun 365 days a year is a poor man”

It's hard to be motivated to get up. Just so tired anymore.

Try creatine and maybe quit coffee for a month

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @j7hB75 2 Aug

Yeah, heavily rely on coffee in the morning. How is creatine better?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @sudonaka 2 Aug

No I don’t mean replacement, I suggest trying creatine as an addition to your current routine- try it out for a month added to coffee in mornings.

Or separately consider resetting caffeine tolerance if appropriate. Will be at least 1 week very difficult

I actually wake up at 5 a.m. I have the advantage of being self-employed, so on my days off, I do get up after 9 a.m. I have a 2-year-old who doesn't like to go to sleep early at night. It's a struggle to get her to sleep at the end of the day.

I too have a better advantage of being retired and have a toddler but I don't think these have anything to say in my waking up late.

You're right.
