yep, Early Morning here too.
4:30 during the week, walk the dogs, feed them, make a lunch for me and shower and out the door to go to work.
May sleep in on Sat and Sun about 5:00-5:30 and then the furry alarm clocks get me up for their breakfast.

I'm always up by 5:30 - I have to leave the house at 6:50 for the bus and by the time I feed the crew, iron, makeup, coffee, make lunch and brekfast I've got to be up by 5:30. Once in a while I'll skip the bus, buy lunch, and sleep 'til 7:20.
I don't understand you morning people. I hate mornings. Hate 'em! I am fine once I'm up, out of bed, and finished with my cup of coffee, but until then... I'm not fit for company.

I'm up between 4:15-4:30 every weekday. I get the hubby off to work. I make us coffee, pack his lunchbox and send him on his way. I then have a couple of hours to myself before my kids get up. Weekends, sleeping until 7 is late for me. 
I can't wait for spring so it's light out in the early hours! Love hearing the birds wake before me.

I normally get up by 4am. Sometimes 3am.... I love getting up early! I always tell my kids that I will sleep when they put me in the ground. :) And I love the thought of having an extra 24 hours today!

I've always been an early riser. Can't stand "burning daylight" as my Daddy would say. Lately,it's been extra early (5-5:30am); I think my body clock is getting ready for the time change.

| I am up before daylight even thinks about cracking (2:30 or 3:00 am). I leave home either4:45 or 5:30 am for work, depending on the day. But I was always an earlier riser. My Grandmother always told me that after she moved in with us, I was the only one that would get up with her in the morning. |

Early here too. Sometimes between 3 and 4:30. I love the quiet. It's kind of nice knowing that it won't be so early in a another week or so.

With multiple roosters....no way!
I wake up around 4:30 and get up most days around 5 .
Non work days sleeping in is until 7 and even then I panic and feel as if I have missed out on something-especialy if the sun is blazing through the window.
Now to compensate though, I am a sucker for a decent nap in the afternoons on occasion.
Even as a kid sleeping in was only until around 8.
And if I have been up super late, 8 is about the max too, but once again, it will catch up around nap time. |

And I thank God almighty that I married someone who is like minded .
My husband cannot stay awake to save his soul much past 10:00 and also is an early riser.....to a fault. Days when I want to linger in a nice warm bed, when I am off, he is up and attem. That's the farming lifestyle he was always brought up with ,so I don't complain often! |

OK, so there seem to be a lot of early risers. I myself would love to be an early bird but I usually don't get up much before 6:30 or 7:00. My question for you 4 to 5 o'clockers is what time do you go to bed? My DH gets up at 4:30 or 5:00 most mornings but he's also in bed by 7:30 and to me that seems way to early to be going to bed! So how about you all? What time do you all go to bed?

| Usually bedtime is 7 or 8. But I have gone as early as 5:30. Depends on what is needing to be done after work or how worn out I am. |

| In the winter it's 9:00, 8 if there is nothing good on tv or if I'm really tired. Zoo work is super taxing on the body sometimes, as is farm life. Combine the two and just try and stay awake! In the summer it's 9:30 or more like 10 but mostly because we are caught still playin' outside and have lost track of time. Dinner times are the same way. Look at your watch and the next thing you know it's already 7! OOPS! Where ddi the time go! |

2:45 am We go to bed very early. My mom's big joke is that the UPS man woke us up, after we went to bed.
