If you have nothing planned for the day. No work. Kids old enough to entertain themselves. What time do you get up?

I've always been up about 7am. Even before children. I can't stay in bed once I'm up and no matter what time I go to bed I am awake by about 6/7 latest.

Vinto · 24/04/2021 13:10

8am usually, but I'm very pleased if it's 9am. 10am is a real treat!

My alarm during the week goes off at 4am though, so I think of it as being relative to your usual sleep if it's a lay in or not. I imagine if my daily life usually started at 7am I'd be happy with a 10/11am lay in.

Notgotanyidea · 24/04/2021 13:12

I always think that I won’t get up until 9/10, in reality I wake up at 6.30 and can’t go back to sleep. So get up.

MrsGulDukat · 24/04/2021 13:32

It cant vary between 6am and 11am. Normally its about 9am.

Midday or later. I end up almost nocturnal in the holidays.

TurkeyTrot · 24/04/2021 13:57

About 10am. I think that's my natural waking time!

Gwenhwyfar · 24/04/2021 13:57

Midday - don't have children.
Even if I wake up early, I'll have a lie in. That's what weekends and days off are for.

EileenGC · 24/04/2021 14:07

8:30 normally.
Had a day off today and set my alarm for 9:30 knowing I'd be up naturally a little earlier anyway. Didn't imagine a little earlier meant 07:14! Angry

FairyDust123456 · 24/04/2021 14:14

Around 8. Like a PP if I wake up at 9, feel pleased with my lie in, 10, well what a treat indeed! Up around 7ish work days (Monday-Friday). Today woke up naturally at 08:40, which was lovely Smile

Phoebesgift · 24/04/2021 14:16

About 11/midday. I love sleep.

bunnyhopsbunnyhops · 24/04/2021 14:43

Work day wake-up time is 6am.

Weekend, usually wake up at around the same time, needing a wee. Sometimes, I sleep in til 7.30/8am ish. Once I'm awake, though, I get up.

I used to be able to sleep in for hours and hours, until 1 or 2pm, but am definitely an early bird now.

flametrees · 24/04/2021 14:45

My Dh gets up at 6 every morning. I could lie in till 11. Not necessarily asleep but relaxing.
5 hours after he is up!
I can't understand getting up for no reason. Smile

8:30 I'm happy with
9:00 even better
10:00 get a headache because I have slept too much!

Get up 7:30/7 for work all week

MrsTumbletap · 24/04/2021 14:47

I meant 6:30/7!

Contactlesslenses · 24/04/2021 14:49

I quite often wake up really early on my days off, like 4am. My alarm on work days goes off at 6am. Once I am awake I get up, so my days off I am often either walking the dog or watching early morning tv before I would otherwise be awake...

I think the latest I have naturally woken up in years is around 8am. Doesn’t seem to matter what time I go to bed.

Harryo · 24/04/2021 14:49

I get up at 05:30 for work. On a day off, between 07:30 and 9 usually.

HopingForOurRainbowBaby · 24/04/2021 14:56

Get up and feed the Moggy around 5ish then we both go back to bed till around 10am. Sometimes I'll lay in bed and kiss mess on my phone till around dinner time ish. I've also learnt on my days off to use do not disturb to stop work texting me or ringing me and waking me up. After 3 15 hour days at work some twit rang my door bell at 8am the other day. Not impressed!!

missbunnyrabbit · 24/04/2021 14:59

I'll wake up around 8, but lounge in bed til 10-11. No kids and live alone 😁

badlydrawnbear · 24/04/2021 16:25

About 8am. I have lost the ability to lie in. I am quite sad about that. I suppose it is a lie in as I have to get up before 6am for work.

Meruem · 24/04/2021 16:29

I woke up at 8. Made a pot of coffee and brought it up to bed. Lay back down for a nap approx 10-12. Got out of bed just after 12. Now lying back on top of the bed MNing! Although I wasn’t feeling well this week so taking it easy. I wouldn’t want to spend every weekend in bed but I like doing this sometimes.

Ninkanink · 24/04/2021 16:29

It depends. Anywhere from 9.30 - 12.30.

FindingMeno · 24/04/2021 16:32

Around 6 or 7.
I'm naturally an early to bed early to rise person and its how I feel my best.

coronafiona · 24/04/2021 16:34

830/9, although I've developed terrible sleep patterns recently so I'm generally awake 2-4am Angry

BobbinThreadbare123 · 24/04/2021 16:38

I wake up very early for work so have lost the ability to lie in and stay asleep at weekends. I am usually awake by half 8, fetched a cuppa and get back in bed to listen to the radio for an hour or so.
