I like to be up before the rest of the family, do some reading or catching up on my blogs whilst sipping a lovely cup of tea. once everyone is off to work and school, I then have my breakfast of porridge with strawberries leisurely and no rushed as everyone has gone! its just me and my toddler then to start the morning. Even on weekends I get up early and read the papers and have my tea and watch the sunrise! Cathyxx PS. Enjoying the blog immensely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-29112490866198654772014-06-28T13:11:20.969+12:002014-06-28T13:11:20.969+12:00I'm actually a member.

Even though I have seriously considered doing it in order to live a chic life, the main reason I get up early and about the same time everyday is to help with my insomnia. That way, I figure my body knows what to do when. <br /><br />I'm not a morning person at all, but I am a coffee person, so I am pretty patient with myself and allow myself time to drink two cups of espresso and for the caffeine to kick me into gear a bit! On the weekends, I could possibly walk to the store around 9, a time where it is not crowded. I also might bake a breakfast item like 6 or 12 muffins or 8 chocolate-stuffed crescent rolls one weekend morning, so that I can eat them over the next week or two, freezing most, of course. <br /><br />I will sleep in and stay in my pajamas all day about one day a year, which is not usually planned.<br /><br />I love your series!

For me, that is not an overstatement. I was a fulltime homemaker and stay-at-home mom for many years and getting up before the rest of the family got going made a huge difference in my day. When I returned to working an outside job, getting up early with plenty of time to get my day off to a good start was essential to my well being. In spite of this, sometimes I let my schedule get off track and sleep later than I need to and the rest of my day will feel "off". <br />Miss Dishywoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794780623279029363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-33200844729991960382014-06-28T01:33:05.949+12:002014-06-28T01:33:05.949+12:00Even though I don't work, I still wake at abou...Even though I don't work, I still wake at about six when I am at home. I like to turn the light off at 10.

It's called What the Most Successful People do Before Breakfast. <br /><br />http://lauravanderkam.com/<br /><br />I normally get up at 6 because I have to catch a bus just after 7, but I'm trying to reset my waking time so I'm not so time-crunched in the morning.

I also get up that early on weekends -- just can't sleep in!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979113683683598684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-40490965769005503342014-06-27T23:52:02.073+12:002014-06-27T23:52:02.073+12:00I like to have a 40 - 60 minute walk each morning ...I like to have a 40 - 60 minute walk each morning before breakfast, so during our very long, very hot summers, I do get up around dawn, otherwise it is too hot to walk. I do quite enjoy it, but I feel groggy and slightly queasy all day if I have to get up before 7:00 am. I am at my best waking at around 8:00 am, but I am a night owl and I think and work best after about 9:00 at night.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669497791582808521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-30713454967426517022014-06-27T23:15:05.354+12:002014-06-27T23:15:05.354+12:00I'm up early in the brighter months but not mu...I'm up early in the brighter months but not much before 7am during these winter days. As the length of the daylight increases I will start getting up early again.<br /><br />I write Journal pages, do some Yoga stretches and plan my day.<br /><br />The older I get the more I dislike sleeping in, it makes me sluggish too.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751315680374413649noreply@blogger.com
