    God no, I can't stay in bed that late! I usually go to bed around midnight, finally fall asleep by about 3, up anywhere between 6-7.30.

    Are you not absolutely wrecked all the time? I couldn't even function on that.

    I like getting up a good hour before I need to leave the house, but I'd just be too tired. I usually get up at 7.00 and leave the house by 7.20.

    Wasn't always like this.. used to do 1000 km per week to/from work :(

    Go to bed earlier. I've read that for optimal health you should wake up naturally without an alarm.

    It doesn't matter what time I get up, I'm still always rushing to leave the house.

    I've my moring down to a 15 minute fine art, 5 min shower, thow on some clothes and head out the door, breakfast at my desk when I get into work at 8am thus ensuring the maximum amount of scratcher time. I just don't get the 'I hit snooze every five minutes 15 times' crowd. Surely it's better to get up when you need to get going rather then have 20 or 30 mins of interrupted sleep when you could spend it snoozing rather then hitting snooze.

    I like to take my time in the mornings!

    Alarm goes off around 5.45-6am. Breakfast, coffee (or 2), Internet, think about day, make sure I have everything, dress, teeth.
    Leave around 6.40, in gym at 7 (or make a 6.45 am class), shower, makeup.
    In work sometime around 8.45-9.

    I prefer to laze on the couch in the evenings, would probably rarely make the gym after work if I changed to an evening routine. Even at weekends I'm rarely in bed after 8 am. I hate rushing in the mornings.

    I find the whole "snooze" thing mad. Why would you waste valuable sleeping time by setting your alarm earlier than you have to?! You can't sleep properly during snooze time, so just give yourself the extra time actually sleeping.

    When I was working, I used to wake at 6:15am, and was out by 7am. If I was rushing for any reason it would ruin the rest of my day. Hate that flustered feeling!

    There's that tiny moment of satisfaction where you know you have another few minutes, it is a bit sadistic because every five minutes it keeps reminding you to get the fup and yet you continue to bathe in the temporary warmth until it becomes uncomfortable. I've learned how to sleep through the alarm at this stage so the snooze no longer applies :(

    Alarm goes off at 6.20. Pull on my shorts and runners, brush my teeth, and out the house by 6.30. Have a shower at work, where I keep all my suits and shirts

    Hate getting ready for work at home. Home is home and work is work. I keep them completely separate

    Same here. I rush every morning and I can't help it. Could be rushing to clock in at 7:59:59 to start at 8 and giving out to myself that I should leave earlier or end up rushing and end up sitting in the work car park at 7:30 like a chump listening to terrible morning radio and thinking to myself that I could have stayed in bed for and extra 29 mins and 59 seconds.

    A pain I know all too well. So this is what it feels like, when doves cry...

    Alarm at 7.30. Snooze button until 8 or 8.10.
    Get up, do bathroom stuff.
    Leave at 8.30 or 8.40 to be in work for 9.
    Breakfast in work at some stage before 10.30.

    One of these days I will actually get up at 7.30 and relax with a nice cup of tea. Sleep always just seems the better option...

    When I was in college last year, I used to get up hour and a half before college started. Sometimes even two or three hours if I had assignments to finish.

    Get up, shower, get ready, cook breakfast, boil kettle for tea, make my lunch, pack my bag, walk 10 mins to college, have another cup of tea before class.

    I hate rushing in the mornings. It doesnt bother me anymore as I have nothing to get up for. But I miss all that. The mornings were the best time of the day. Wish I had a job to get up for.

    My sister would go huffing and puffing around the house as if its everyones fault she's late. There's nothing as worse. I hate the way how she eats in such a rush, she bangs her spoon of the bowl with every mouthful. There's no need for that, just get up earlier.

    Rushing out in the morning and jumping into the car must be very dangerous when ya think about it? I mean your probably not fully awake yet and the ol concentration levels wouldnt be the best..
