Used to find it easy to get up in the morning, I don't any more  Used to make a point of getting out of bed the second the alarm went off, turn the water on, breakfast, shower, get dressed, straight to work - doesn't happen anymore

going to get up early again tomorrow and try having breakfast and a pint of coffee to see if that works

I handle the mornings amazingly, based on these. When I'm in work for 8, get up at 6:30, eat, shower. Bounce out of bed really. Hadn't struck me until this point that I'm a morning person

6am - Wake up
6:30am - Actually get out of bed, Then twat shin on end of bed and limp to the bathroom swearing all the way, Have a wash then go and get changed. Then head down to get bits and peices ready, Set out for work at about 10 to 7 turning up at work about 7 minutes to 7 (Takes all of 3 minutes to get to work!)
Usually have something when I get to work, Either a flapjack, peice of fruit or a cake bar, Then stay moody as hell for the rest of the day until I get home!

Alarm one 6:50 Alarm two 7 0. Stay in bed for 5-10 mins thinking FML then manage to surface. Brush teeth, spray pits, morning wee, get dressed, pack bag leave house at 7:20 to get to work for 7:30.
An early night makes it harder to get up for me which is odd, and i can't eat for a couple of hours after waking up.

6:50 alarm
snooze
7: 00 alarm
snooze
7:10 alarm
lie in bed watching tv for 10 mins
go down to bathroom and have a shit and shower
get dressed
make my lunch
eat breakfast whilst looking at twitter, facebook and SSN apps
out the door by 8 at the latest to get to work for 8:30.
Once I've been in the shower I'm awake. I can't operate properly without having a shower in a morning, I feel disgusting if I don't have a shower even if I've been in the shower the night before.

If I've got an early start for a drive somewhere I'm up at my first alarm, in the shower, dressed, brew and out. Usually awake by the time I'm done in the shower but then recently an hour or 2 into the drive I start getting tired again, it just comes on suddenly and my eyes start rolling to the point I've got to pull up at the soonest possible point and either try and have a quick kip or get some relentless or something. This morning I was actually at Strensham services trying to have a kip at 8 am after leaving the house at about 5:15. I don't know why it's suddenly started happening but it's becoming a right pain.
On a normal morning I'm useless, have my radio coming on at 8, get out of bed turn it down a bit then get back in bed till someone shouts that the bathroom's empty, usually fall back asleep till they shout again, louder then up, showered, dressed etc. but in that scenario I'm awake after my shower and remain like that all day, just the early starts seem to be playing with my head.

Gentle alarm app was quite decent, plays a pre alarm which is meant to get you out of deep sleep but not wake you up, then when alarm goes off you are awoke from light sleep and don't feel as Shit. The pre alarm was waking girlfriend up so had to stop using it.

Always used to keep snoozing my alarm then falling back asleep after deciding that was the last snooze and turning alarm off then still falling asleep, then wake up with barely any tiime and be rushing. I now put my alarm at the other side of room so i HAVE to get out of bed to answer it, so i can set the alarm later now so more time actually asleep

I set my alarm for 1pm, wake up slowly, check morning paper (facebook), sometimes get a couple of phone calls from people who know I'll then be awake at that time, then drag myself outta bed, sometimes shower straight away or just sit on computer/xbox, depends if I have stuff to do or not
I love night work! All these posts are the reason I couldn't work days
