What gets you up in the morning?

[Grauntie Mag]

I use my phone if I have to get up really early. My wake-up tune is “Oh I do like to be beside the seaside”. I defy anyone to sleep through that!

If I am going anywhere in the morning I set my IPad alarm, otherwise I would still be sleeping beyond 10, I get up about 5am to go to the loo but usually just drop off to sleep again. I am going to set my alarm for 9am as I have to be at the garage to sign something at 11am. Hate rushing in the morning, like to take time getting showered etc. I doubt I will turn off the light before 12pm

GM - That's a nice cheery tune to wake up to. I think you must be a lark! For the odd occasion I have to use my phone alarm or iPad the tune is "Bad Moon Rising"!!!!

Plant - I hate rushing in the morning. Tuesdays when I have to go out about 7.40 I get up between 6.15 and 6.30.

Qwerty I am the same as you and governed by the alarm clock on my bladder and can't manage after 4pm when I have to anyway I am pretty good at getting up easily hubby always has cuppa ready for me bless him and I like to listen to Radio Merseyside for an hour or two I am usually ready for action about 10am.When I was working full time I was always up for 6am and in bed for 10pm.

OH brings me a cuppa just before 9 o'clock! Then I take my time coming to before I actually get up!
If, heaven forbid, I have to get up early, then I set my alarm clock. No phones in the bedroom at our house!
OH is a morning person. As you'll have gathered, I'm definitely not.

WeeGranny - there is something very sensible about owls who marry larks! Two owls don't fit in with society very well. Why does everything, like work/school/everything have to start so flippin' early!!!

Well what got me up this morning at 4.30am was combination of fold up bed in empty bedroom with no blinds, husbands very loud snoring, upheaval working, events of the last week.

You certainly didn't need an alarm clock Zizi

[Avo]

This morning it was the fire alarm in the hotel! Fortunately a ‘false’ alarm, but a bit scary to say the least,🤨

[ZIZI]

Up at stupid o’clock again. Looking forward to tomorrow night when the floor will be down and we can have our bed back.

[Gemini]

Not a nice wake up Avo!

Oh dear Zizi, I didn't realise you had more than one night without your own bed. Good sleep for you tonight then!!

[ZIZI]

No Gem flooring being put down tomorrow so hopefully back in our own bed tomorrow night.

[Gemini]

If you lived nearby you could use our spare bed for the night!!

[ZIZI]

I think it will be worth it in the end, I didn’t expect to have this problem sleeping and I am truly very tired. Yesterday I couldn’t sleep during the day as the wardrobe fitter was in the bedroom but I can go and have a little nap now (on the uncomfortable beds) but I think I am so tired that my body doesn’t care any more!

[Daisy]

Avo - that is so unsettling - at least you didn't have to troupe out into pouring rain or freezing snow, but still a very broken night.

Zizi - with so much going on in too many areas of your life, no wonder you're not sleeping. Roll on tomorrow and your own bed back.
