Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I'm awake most mornings before five.(04 30 today) It's better than not waking up at all 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 One good point about waking up early for me is that at this time of the year(if it's not raining) I can be down the allotment by 05 30/06 00 and get most of what needs doing before anyone else arrives That means I water all my stuff before anyone else needs the tap(there are three for our allotment of 20 allotments) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Radio 4 Extra can be good to listen to in the night but recently they've broadcast a dramatization of 'Les Miserables' in I don't know how many parts over I don't know how many nights. It's certainly miserable! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Think it's a fact of older age, we need less sleep. Not much fun at 4-00am but hey at least we woke up ! Someone somewhere maybe didn't. I wake every morning now at around 2-00am for a call of nature, then again at 4-00am, then it's a catnap till maybe 6-00. if I'm lucky. Get to see some great sunrises anyway, and the extra hours awake is I suppose a bonus. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiffy49 590 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 We always have the window open so it's usually the sound of birdsong that wakes me up. For obvious reasons we wake later in the winter months. A friend of mine tried setting his alarm for an hour earlier that he was waking up (say 3am) This way he found that if he switched off the alarm (half asleep) he then went back to sleep for another three hours or more. He swears by this method, but after a bit he found that his body started waking up earlier than the alarm. He had to keep setting it earlier and earlier but eventually he couldn't get to sleep when he went to bed ! It's a bit like trying to flatten out that bubble in the wallpaper, no matter how much you chase it around it's going to stop somewhere. I suppose sleep (as you get older) is similar to the bubble and the amount of sleep we need is just moved around to a different time. Interesting subject. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
