    Alarm on phone set for 5:15 - birdsong custom alarm tone I downloaded. Partner gets up right at 5:15 and I hit snooze once (maybe twice some days). Roll over, pick up phone and start with #bfc530 before checking other messages /apps whe laying in bed.
  • cybraryman1 Nov 12 @ 5:34 AM EST
    I used to be at my school at 6 am to answer calls from absent teachers #bfc530 is easy for me as I don't sleep much and am an early morning person and I do not drink coffee and I am wide awake when I awaken. Our Sleep page https://t.co/zAvlub48a5
  • MrTravisDrake Nov 12 @ 5:34 AM EST
    Alarm is set for 4:42, but I'm usually awake prior to it going off. Shower, shave, breakfast, Bible reading, COFFEE, #bfc530, brush teeth, kiss wife, and off to school. On the weekends, my 5 year old is up by 6:00, so I'm up then if not before.
  • kmichellehowell Nov 12 @ 5:34 AM EST
    Weekdays: up between 4-4:15 so I can make this chat (I live in CST now)! Weekends: usually up when the cats demand it. #bfc530

    #bfc530 5:00 AM or earlier without an Alarm. I get up let the dog out, then hit brew for some of those magical beans to fill my cup, while I glance through the phone calendar to review upcoming appts.

    Up at 4:30- no alarm. Try to get coffee/myself ready before #bfc530 and then prep before leaving for school at 7 a.m. Weekends sadly the same wake up time- have completely lost the ability to sleep in.

    I have one of those alarm clocks that a light slowly turns on for a 1/2 hour before alarm goes off. Typically 4am. Coffee, World News Now, w/everyone else asleep, I begin school work. And then an hour & a half later I get to spend 15 minutes with you wonderful people #bfc530

    New this year: a wake-up light that gradually gets lighter to simulate sunrise before my alarm goes off. Makes it easier to wake-up to my alarm if it's not pitch black. #bfc530

    Wake-up routine...4:45 am, get up immediately, workout begins, lots of water, run to follow on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, usually squeezing in #bfc530 , then get ready for school. Weekend workouts start around 6:30 am and usually join #satchat .๐Ÿ˜Š
  • MsCommins205 Nov 12 @ 5:38 AM EST
    #bfc530 I usually get up at 3 or 4. I set my Alexa as an alarm, but I am awake before it goes off. I am super productive in the morning.
  • DebbiSab Nov 12 @ 5:38 AM EST
    Morning Routine: alarm 4:45. Today I hit snooze:) Somedays I don't... Then it's make lunches & brew my tea to be ready for the #bfc530 chat:)

  • MrTravisDrake Nov 12 @ 5:39 AM EST
    What is sad is that the only reason I ever hit snooze on the alarm, is if my back is sore and I need to be flat on the bed to stretch it out. Getting older is fun. #bfc530
  • wheeler_laura Nov 12 @ 5:39 AM EST
    Saturdays no alarm. Usually awake somewhere between 6:30 - 8am depending on what time we elwent to bed. Sunday 6:45am alarm to get us up for horse-back riding & hockey. #bfc530

    5am wakeup for me - alarm blaring, but then my husband walks in with a perfectly made cup of coffee. I pop the tv news on and settle in checking my email and awaiting #bfc530. Once a week, though, I'm on dog-walking duty, so coffee has to wait until after.

  • CoachKCullen Nov 12 @ 5:45 AM EST
    I've always been that person who can wake up refreshed when the sun hits my eyes no matter how little sleep I get. Not sure it's working like that, but it does help me, not as refreshed as I like to be #bfc530
