I wake up Mon-Fri at 5am to get to work. I do not wake up early, even on weekends, because I want my 2 days to sleep in on the few days I get the chance.

Do you ever wake up early to play a game?

For a handful of Sundays I would wake up early in the morning and try to finish MGS2 before lunchtime.

I have a vivid memory of one random morning when I was a kid where my brother woke me up via the NES Excitebike overheating sound. In his defense, it would be impossible to turn in good lap times with the sound down and no auditory cue on the overheating. I understood.

I remember my dad bringing me home NBA Jam as a surprise when I was a kid. He usually got home right before I went to bed so I couldn't play that night, but I begged them to let me wake up early to play. It was like Christmas morning. I shot out of bed and played for a good hour before school.

Nah, I just stay up stupidly late & play after people have gone to bed instead.
Played ME Andromeda last night from like 11pm to 6am
I really hate getting up early & since I'm living at home atm if I want to play undisturbed on the big TV in the living room then I need to do it when people are either out or asleep. I tend to stay up pretty late anyway so it isn't that big a deal, I'm studying atm so I don't need to be up too early more than twice a week most of the time

Only 2 games made me do this. Ff7 and xenoblade. I felt like a loser doing it too.

I wake up at around 7 on the weekends, just so I can play games before my roommates wake up.

When I was a kid, yes.
Used to love that shit. Waking up early morning to play PS1, PS2... all my favourite games including God Of War, God of War 2, MGS2, MGS3... that was the life.
Now? I struggle to get out of bed.

Wake up early? Nah.
Yesterday night though I started playing Nioh and when I looked at the window the sun was rising.

I never had the need to wake up early to play in peace because my parents let me stay up late all the time. However, I do remember some magical weekends where I would wake up at 5am to play. It felt good.
I remember one morning where I finally finished the last dungeon in Zelda 1, I also managed to get pass Death in Castlevania 1 allowing me to finish the game, and then I played Jackal and finally reached the last boss and also beat the game. 3 finished games in one morning.

I woke up early to play Taken King on launch day with my mum, she was still new to Destiny at this time and it was a blast going through the story on day 1 with her, laughing and joking as we got used to the Stormcaller together and comparing our new rare weapons.
TTK was when Destiny was at its best for me

As a kid I did. I've been tempted to do it with Zelda just because I'm up with my anxiety regardless.

I always used to as a kid, and still do some Saturday mornings if I don't have anything else going on. I don't get much gaming in during the week, so it's usually the only time I have a few uninterrupted hours.

I get up early to get the drudgery out of the way so I can play games when I get home from work. I'll do the dishes if I didn't do them the night before, sweep mop, vacuum, dust, get dinner prepped and all that. Not every day but probably twice a week, on days when my wife works late.

I used to quite often as a kid, but I've become more of a night owl since and just haven't had that many games I'm that excited to play.

I used to stay up too late playing video games. This year I decided I needed to fix my sleeping patterns, so I started waking up at 6:30am. For most of the year I don't go to work until 10am, so that gives me like 2 hours of morning gaming time. Honestly I like it better; early morning gaming sessions are fun.

Very rarely. I'm a night owl so I just stay up late after everyone else has gone to sleep.

I used to back in my school days, not so much anymore. I find myself just staying up later to play instead of waking up earlier.
When I was a kid, yeah, mostly to beat my siblings to the punch. Early bird gets the SNES and all that.
Nowadays I tend to see sleep as the zero sum activity that it is
, so I stay up late playing something I'm really into rather than get up early for it (if we're talking Friday/Saturday).
Maybe I should give it another shot!

I have done this in the past, but rarely in the present as i have a 2 year to account for. But this was me all of last week thanks to BotW and the Wii U:
Monday night: i'm going to go to bed early tonight. My kid's been a lil troublesome lately and i need to catch up on sleep. i'mma head to bed at 10:30.
Tuesday morning: frack i'm sleepy, i shouldnt have gone to bed so late at 12. ok, tonight i'm going to go to bed early,....
Repeat every day until this morning.
at least i now have the master sword and one of four ... whatever conquered. my M-F wake up time of 6am just bites. if i could wake up at 7 or 8, i'd be much more functional. i should try this whole sleep at 10:30 and wake up a little early to play thing. maybe 5 am? ugh. time is so scarce.
