Guests and disturbing them

Just a curious one. If you have guests using the sofa bed what time do you get up yourself??
I need to go downstairs and sort out the cat box 🤢 and get on with my day but worried about disturbing them 😞😍

Do you not work? Imagine not starting your day until 9am 🙄

So glad everyone I know is up by 6am in the week and 7am at the weekend because we all have lives to lead and taxes to pay

Just when you think you've seen every kind of ridiculous comment on here over the years ... 😂

Nobody needs waking up it's totally chill. Everyone is happy.

We're all awake when there are things to be done so in bed by 10, not sitting on our phones until 2am.

If I was retired maybe I'd shift my mindset and stay in bed a bit longer but as it stands I make the most of the weekends

Why do you imagine people are 'sitting on their phones' if they stay up later than you? Or that other people don't have 'things to be done' after 10pm?

If all your family are morning people, great! Enjoy. But there's nothing wrong with being night time people either and it doesn't mean people are less productive or lead less exciting lives than you if they're not in bed by 10 and up at 7.

Well, getting up early may be work related, and most folk pay tax so.....🤣

and you think if you don't get up at 6am, 7am at the weekend, you don't have a job and pay tax? huh?!

in bed by 10? Unless you are a primary school child, I don't know anyone who is in bed by 10pm 😂 What a waste of a life to go to bed so early. No time to do anything or have a social life. Sounds so inefficient.

See, goes both ways 😉

Nope, I clearly didn't say that. HTH

I'm an early to bed, early to rise.
It works for me.
This would be explained to anyone coming to stay, and we'd agree ahead what to do if guests had different bedtime habits. No need for drama.

my point was that there's no need to pretend to be superior because you go to bed early 😂

But when I have guests, they are free to go to bed early or stay in bed late, or both if they want. No one is coming to wake them up because they've decided one mustn't sleep in the morning.

@Moonnstars its my son and his gf. He normally shares with his younger brother so i said they could sleep downy. I'll get up soon I'm getting bored 🤣🤣

You could get a screen for the future. I wake soon after 4 and couldn't lie there until 0830. Like you, I'd creep around sorting/feeding the cats at 0530.

I’ve not RTFT but a litter robot is a gamechanger! Gets emptied once a week and uses about 1 bag of litter a month for 2 cats so will pay for itself in about 12 months!

Gosh that's really creepy to think other people have the ability to actually check your sleeping habits.
I don't use WhatsApp and I had no idea it gave others such access to your personal life.

Edited

It merely says ‘active 5 minutes ago’ or active 12 hours ago…. You can also turn it off so people can’t see
