I've been waking up almost an hour before my alarm lately. I don't mind ~20 minutes early, but an hour is too much. Time to reevaluate my bedtime and prep.
So currently, I wake up too early, toss and turn a bit, start the coffee maker from a phone app (so stupidly extra but I love it), and toodle around on my phone.
When you wake up early, are you not able to fall back asleep quickly?
I don't use an alarm (well, I do use alarms when I cook or make tea, just not for getting up). I wake up at the same time everyday. Have been doing so for decades.
That's legitimately interesting to me. Do you ever try to sleep in, like on holiday?
From time to time I will oversleep, but that's the exception (and not an issue since I don't have a 9-5 kind of job) but it's not related to being on holidays or not.
It's just that I like to work very early in the morning (late at night?), between 4AM and 8, when the house and the whole city around us is almost completely silent (we live in a busy spot, in Paris)
Ah yes. The silent hours. 💜
If my alarm ever goes off, it's while I'm in the shower because I forgot to dismiss it.
My alarm is set for 6am but my dog wakes me up at 5 every day
Dang dog.
Either immediately get up or spend some minutes harassing myself to get up. Non work days way longer to get up.
The whole day
Alarm? You all use alarms?
I usually wake up before the alarm. If I don't, I get up immediately, I don't like staying in the bed.
Sometimes around 10-20 minutes. Usually checking the time (both phones and watch), followed trying to find my water bottle (which I bring when I sleep on my bed). Around 2-3 minutes
