Sun rising too early - AIBU

AIBU? This has been going on for the last 12 weeks or so. The sun rises so early - this morning it was up at 4.45 ffs.

Spreading its rays against the window, bouncing around off the walls and the ceiling when I am trying to sleep. Is it too much to ask that it stays below the horizon until 8am during weekdays but 9am at the weekend and bank holidays. I get up early and am normally up by 6am, but that's not the point. If I wanted to lie in I couldn't with all that light going on. I admit it is not all year round, but even so day in, day out it's a bit bloody much for months on end.

@HavelockVetinari

Agreed, OP! And once the sun's up, the fecking birds starting roaring at me from the trees, it's a proper racket that's audible through my double glazing. Unacceptable! Angry
You need to disconnect your phone from 5G @HavelockVetinari

That is what powers birds these days.

Log it with 101, the sun is a CF. Please start 5/6 continuous threads about it as well to keep us updated. It starts with waking you up early, it will only escalate to stalking you in Aldi or needing to call in your elderly foreign relative for backup....

YABU for those of us who suffer with SAD the early sunlight is a godsend. Blackout blinds will stop the problem.

Apolloanddaphne · 10/07/2020 14:26

And when you eventually get up and want it to be shining the fucker hides behind big clouds like it's all shy or something. Bastard sun.

KarenMcKaren · 10/07/2020 14:28

I'm sure you could get the sun cancelled if you gathered up your army of protesters.

TaxTheRatFarms · 10/07/2020 14:39

Yanbu!! I was just saying the other day, how come the sun comes blasting through the curtains at 4:30am, searing off the top layer of skin like we’re in some equatorial dystopia, then come 9am it’s dark and drizzling?? There is no need. Sheer audacity of the thing.

You need to be worried if the sun drops out of the sky altogether,and lands on your house, then you won't need to sleep anymore.
Otherwise, get some war time black out curtains, or wear your sunglasses in bed.

Doingtheboxerbeat · 10/07/2020 14:54

I hear you OP, most inconsiderate of the sun. I bought a cracking pair of blackout curtains that were on sale from Dunelm that did the trick.

romany4 · 10/07/2020 15:12

This is why I love Winter.
Dark mornings and evenings.

Mummyof2girls5and10 · 10/07/2020 15:14

Get a good pair of curtains

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 10/07/2020 15:16

Head tilt and tinkly laugh. It will be shamed into staying down.

Harpischord · 10/07/2020 15:17

Move to Australia. It's dark there now.

PablosHoney · 10/07/2020 15:19

It’s the birds screaming their heads off first thing that aggravates me, don’t they know it’s the weekend!

TerribleCustomerCervix · 10/07/2020 15:21

Speak to a solicitor during their free half hour ..

TacosTuesday · 10/07/2020 15:25

CF of the highest order. Book yourself a spa day and LTB!

Leave it an anonymous note.

Serenity45 · 10/07/2020 15:27

This reminds me of the time our 3 year old niece was OUTRAGED that the sun was in the wrong place when we had lunch in the garden Grin

It was apparently annoying her as she'd dictated decided where we all sat, yet she had the sun in her face. Nothing like toddler entitlement - especially when we all laughed at how ridiculous she was being.

But YANBU OP this is outrageous

picklemewalnuts · 10/07/2020 15:29

What's really annoying is that sunrise is so lovely, but it's really inconsiderate to do it too early for people to see.

DappledThings · 10/07/2020 15:29

I know. Doesn't it know how utterly rude and unacceptable it is to knock on somebody's door unexpectedly? That's basically what the cheeky yellow fucker is doing.

AliceLutherNeeMorgan · 10/07/2020 15:30

No is a complete sentence.

Remember this when you look it in the eye (with your shades on)

GuiltyBark · 10/07/2020 15:31

No is a complete sentence. A polite but firm NO out the window should get the message across.

GuiltyBark · 10/07/2020 15:31

*Alice you beat me to it Grin

Smallsteps88 · 10/07/2020 15:34

The sun has got has hat on,
Hip hip hip hooray!
The sun has got his hat on
And he’s coming out to play.

Grin

Write “FUCK OFF” on your window in lipstick.

Melonslicexx · 10/07/2020 15:48

Haha can the birds also be told to shut up whistling at 4am.

jackdaw141 · 10/07/2020 15:50

@Smallsteps88 But we do not have any glass in our windows. We just have like openings every now and then. In fact it is more that the house is just open and built of pillars and things.
