I was at our dentist earlier this week and he was asking me if I had seen the beautiful pre-sunrise colors that morning. I guess there were crazy orange & golden sun rays that lit up the clouds and vividly set off the autumn foliage.
Unfortunately, I had missed them. I said, “no, I don’t work, so I don’t really see the sun come up much anymore”. I used to see sunrise quite a bit when I was working, but my schedule has changed a lot.
It got me thinking about how different my wake up times compares with other people. I found this interesting chart online, from Edison Research. I typically get up between 7:30a and 8:15a, depending if I am taking the puppy out, or my wife is. When I was working, I got up like most people, between 6a-6:30a.
What is your wake up time and how does it compare?
Have A Great Weekend!

Lately I have been getting up at 5:30am, the alarm doesn’t go off until 5:50am, maybe my body is getting ready for the “fall back” daylight saving time change that is coming.

I would have thought 5:30a is incredibly early, but it looks like about 20-25% of people are getting up at about that time. I had forgotten about DST coming to an end soon (11/7). Always nice to get an extra ‘sleep in’ morning!

Unless im out late for some reason or working at night, I try to get up around 5 or 530am. It just feels good to get up earlier. I usually take the morning time slow with reading online etc but then Im ready to go sooner on anything else I want to accomplish and get done. I mostly gave up late night TV (and TV in general).

It’s funny because when I was young, late night TV was the BEST. I do stay up to about 11pm usually, but watch very little Late Night TV. I heard recently that FOX news put together their own late night show and the guy is beating Kimmel, Fallon,, and Colbert in the ratings: https://www.newsweek.com/greg-gutfeld-king-late-night-his-fox-news-show-beats-colbert-kimmel-letterman-1622680

0600-0615 thanks to a dog that demands that I rise. I have always been an early riser and if no dog I would wake 0630-0700. I am rarely awake at 10:00 pm as we only watch streaming or recorded stuff on DVR. We are going on a cruise next month and likely I will be walking on the deck at 0700.
I get frustrated if the newspaper Wall Street Journal and LA Times print edition doesn’t arrive before 0700.

I’m happy that our dog, Riley, is almost as lazy as I am. He sleeps from 9p to 7:30a each night. Waking up early on a cruise is pretty fun. A lot of people sleep in from partying the night before. It’s fun to have the ship for yourself and see the ship’s staff get everything set up for the day.

Another early riser! That’s among the earliest on the chart of when people get up.
