Re: Anyone wake up super early?
Yes 4-430 is known to be a spiritual/sacred time to wake up do yoga, meditate, etc
I am more in tune with the seasons so in the spring and summer my eyes and ears open very early with the sun rising and birds chipring! This time of year i can sleep from 9 to 6 lol!

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I thought of this thread this morning.
It was 7 am and I had to get up. And I was fighting it tooth and nail. It felt like Chinese water torture, the thought of getting up and out of that warm bed.
I started bargaining with myself for extra time.
"Well if I don't shower....that can buy me some time. Nah, I have to shower, that's gross."
"Well if I don't shave my legs- yeah that's a good 10 minutes. It's cold out, I can wear pants"
"wait all the pants are wrinkled, I need to iron them. There goes the time saved on leg shaving"
"I can get in late today, I have nothing on the calendar early."
"Just work from home, this way you don't have to get up until 830 am and turn the laptop on"
So as you can see, 4 am is NOT EVER EVER EVER happening for me.
7 am barely happens for me.
For the record I am here in the office. Showered. Only about 15 minutes late but mainly due to traffic. And wearing pants.

I was reading something about how so many people who wake up early on a regular basis are happier, more creative, receive more inspiration and reach more goals overall. It seems the magic hour is 4 am. 
I was contemplating trying it out.
I feel like I'm always saying how there's not enough hours in the day.
Does anyone wake up earlier? Do you find it helps?
I do because of my daughter these days... I can't lie, I'm handling it pretty well and feel awake during the day. Night time is a different story!

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
When I had a job commuting into the city I was up at 4:30am (was also an exercise nut at the time and would wake up to work out then). Honestly I was miserable getting up that early!

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I try to go to bed by 10:30pm. My alarm is set for 5:30am, but i usually get out of bed by 6AM.
It gives me time to do a small chore before heading out the door and not feel rushed with getting DS ready.
I do feel more accomplished, but not necessarily more creative or happier.

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I wake up at 5 AM. And I HATE it. All I want to do is go back to sleep. But that's what happens when you work in NYC, live in Nassau, and have a child in daycare in Queens.
ETA: I'm in bed by 9 PM, asleep by 10. I also have to wake up at 1:00 AM to pump.

I cannot fathom the idea of being in the gym at 5am... like it makes me wonder if these people actually sleep LOL. I'm so not like that... my alarm is set for 6:15... I have to make myself get out of bed at 6:30... it's so hard. And then I'm knocked out my 10... I blame it on terrible broken sleep almost every night.

Ugh - why are you waking up at 1 am to pump?
If you need more milk, I'd would try to pump on Saturday/Sunday morning - That's what I did and it didn't interrupt my sleep (my DS was kind enough to do that for 2 years).

Unfortunately, it's the only way I seem to get enough milk. I have tried a few different pumps, settings, timings, herbal supplements, drinking tons of water, power pumping, etc. I pump three times a day at work and then in the middle of the night since that's when I seem to get the most milk. DD usually still wakes up at 5 on the weekends, nurses, and goes back to sleep until 7/8 so I don't usually have time to pump then.

Anyone wake up super early?
During the week I get up at 5:30 for work. Does not make me happier AT ALL! However, I might be if I got up for reasons like working out or running...but 430/5AM is just TOO early for me!

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I get up at 5 everyday and all I can think about is how tired I am and how I wish I could sleep until 7:00. I will say I'm very productive in the morning but I feel like crashing around 2:00pm everyday.

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I work 10-6 so my shift is a bit later than many people.
I do wake early (for me) to go to the gym 3x/week: 5:15. Working out in the morning helps clear my head and puts me in a better state for the day, absolutely.
If I don't go to the gym, then my alarm is set for about 7. I don't like to rush in the mornings.

Anyone wake up super early?
I used to be such a morning person, up at 6 without an alarm, in bed by midnight, but never any earlier.
I'm even more of a night owl now, but never get up before 7:30-8:00am
My kids are all in bed by 8:00/8:30 and get up around 8.
When they go to Kindergarten next year, it's going to be torture

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
God no!! I am a complete night owl. LOVE to be up late doing things and I am SO productive at night!! If I could I'd sleep in a little but my DS usually has me up around 7-7:15.
You couldn't pay me to get up at 4am!!!!!!!!!! What's the point really? All you're doing is shifting your day and going to bed earlier then.

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I think that is true for people who get up early to be productive or do something they enjoy.. I read something and for a while I WAS getting up about 1-2 hours earlier to do something I liked (read an article, take a bath, watch a tv show I liked, etc.)... & on those days, I definitely felt happier - like I wasn't just rushing to work, I got to enjoy some time before. I could see that making someone happier.

I get up at 5:25 for work every day, sometimes at 5 if awake already.
The weekends, I'm usually up by 6:30 just because my body is used to it. I do go to bed early, at 9:30.
I feel like I can get so much done earlier in the day. I just hate that now it is so dark in the morning
I follow a similar schedule. Im up for work everyday byn 5:30. Sometimes I wake up at 4:45-5 to do a quick 30 minute workout. This weekend I "slept in" til 6:45 and was like OMG - it's so late! I'm usually asleep by 9/9:30 at the latest. I need 7-8 hours of sleep to function. I'm much more productive in the morning. I get nothing done after dinner.
I am also at a similar schedule. It sucks because now it is dark out when I wake up and walk the dog. I like the limited traffic though going to work. I hate that dh however has almost opposite schedule and goes to bed right before I wake up.

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
I'm up 5x a week at 4am for a 5:20am train. I'm in bed at 10pm. Happy?? No. As it is I need more hours in the day. I don't get home until 5:30pm and between picking up my son from aftercare, then taekwondo, homework, dinner, bath, etc, I have no time for myself or a decent bedtime.

Re: Anyone wake up super early?
To me, anything before 5 AM is not morning, it is the middle of the night.
I do like to wake early, and having 5 young kids, there is no way I am sleeping in...but 6 is the earliest I can handle. That is when my youngest usually wakes up.

I could never get up at 5AM!! To me, that is the middle of the night. I get up at 7:30 and it's still hard to get my azz out of bed. Not a morning person.
