I'm for me around 6:30am (work or uni).
Trying to keep this routine at weekend. Doesn't always work haha.

So jealous of the people saying when their kids wake them up at 7-8-9am etc would love some of that magic here please!!

BobbinThreadbare123 · 25/10/2018 20:24

Half 5, Mon-Fri. Just let myself wake up at weekends unless there's something I need to be doing. Although, I do like the quiet hour to myself with a cuppa if I wake up and DH doesn't. No kids.

Troton · 25/10/2018 20:24

If working it’s 4.45 am wake up as start work at 7 and have a commute.
On non work days the baby seems to wake around then anyway (and other times if night!) and the toddler is up around 6

Lie ins are such a distant memory 😩

EnglishRose13 · 25/10/2018 20:26

5:30 week days.

6-7 (wake up naturally) at the weekend.

HelpMeMakeSense · 25/10/2018 20:26

3.50am

HelpMeMakeSense · 25/10/2018 20:27

Around 7am at weekends

speakout · 25/10/2018 20:28

6am.

Every day.

I don't have to get up at that time for work, and no school run to do.

cardibach · 25/10/2018 20:30

Is that preference speakout? Or insomnia? Or something else?

daisypond · 25/10/2018 20:33

6:15am. I need to get up this time for work, and I get up at this time at weekends too, though will likely make a cup of tea and go back to bed and drink it before getting up properly.

@Pebblespony I can't bear to shut him out of my room at night! I know it's daft, considering how much he wakes me up, but I'm conscious he's on his own all day and he wants to be near me when I am home. When I did try shutting him out of the bedroom he just about broke the door down and I didn't sleep any better. He's really affectionate and usually it's fine, but he insists on waking me up - not even to feed him, but to WATCH HIM EAT fgs. He has plenty of food in his bowl, he just likes to make me go downstairs and supervise him. Bloody cats, eh.

speakout · 25/10/2018 20:35

Preference really.

A couple of times a week I have an early yoga class and go to that, otherwise I just love that time of day, it's like a secret no one else knows about, time to take a leisurely shower, check emails, drink coffee, put on laundry.
Sunday mornings are great as it's so quiet outside, I often pop to the supermarket at 7am on a Sunday,just as they are bringing out fresh warm crusty loaves. I can do my weekly shop while it's quiet.

An early morning beats a late night hands down for me.

For 12 years I set an alarm for 5am to get ready for work in London, I now have a 5 month old son and I wake up at 7am when my husbands alarm goes off, I really do appreciate 7am 🙂😂 but obviously depends on the baby

Northumberlandlass · 25/10/2018 20:39

5.45 for work Mon-Fri
Weekends - whenever I wake, but that’s always before 8am ....my cats are used to early brekkie! (Yes, I am a slave)

darkriver198868 · 25/10/2018 20:40

Usually about 7 am.

mrsm12 · 25/10/2018 20:42

5.20 on work days
7am non work midweek days (although nearly always awake from half 6 as kids start roaming about )
8.30 on weekends (again awake at half 6 but send kids down to watch tv and doze for a bit)

Gemini69 · 25/10/2018 20:43

04:30am 7 days on... 10:00am 7 days off Grin

Pebblespony · 25/10/2018 20:47

@ShinyMe If cats were people they'd be such jerks but, somehow, it's endearing in a cat.

speakout · 25/10/2018 20:47

ShinyMe

i don't let cats disturb my sleep.
They spend the night in a downstairs room well away from the bedrooms, even if they cry ( two cats) they won't be heard.
They are let out last thing at night, brought in, fed, and spend the night in a room with water, a big bowl of dry cat food, sofas, blankets and a litter tray.
I see to them in my own time in the morning.
But I am at home all day, so they have constant access to inside or garden at their leisure all day.

BettyBahooky · 25/10/2018 20:50

About 9am. Wake toddler up once I've had a coffee and a cig. If she wakes up earlier than I do she never says anything or comes out of her room, and pretends to be asleep at 9.15 when I go to "wake" her.

hamburgers · 25/10/2018 20:54

Around 7am when baby DD wakes up.

Chosennonetosurvivethenight · 25/10/2018 20:57

Alarm goes off at 6.40am and I need at least 20 mins to come round. Look at fb, mumsnet and news. Get up between 7am and 7.10. At the Weekend i can usually sleep until half 7 and 9 and when off work for longer maybe 10am which I love. About 4 years ago I had the house to myself and went to sleep at 11pm and didn't wake up until 11.30am! It was so bizarre

Alexandra2018 · 25/10/2018 21:01

6 for Work, always aim for a lie in at the weekend which never happens! So I'm woke up at 7 by other families on the street 

altiara · 25/10/2018 21:01

Send DCat to the cattery for couple of weeks, they’ll soon learn how to sleep through the night!

(Maybe!)

DitheringBlidiot · 25/10/2018 21:04

5.30 on an early shift week, 7 on a late shift week. I try to lay in at the weekend but I’m always awake by 7.30/8. It’s a rare treat to sleep until 9ish at the weekend. A few years ago I could have easily slept until
12/1 and had to be woken up by housemates

LaurieFairyCake · 25/10/2018 21:05

I wake up naturally every day between 6.30 and 7.

I wish I could sleep til 8.
