I wake up Monday-Friday for work at 3am.

My shift is 5am-2pm. Getting off earlier than everyone else and during office hours is nice, but honestly waking up this early is brutal. My main gripe is that I'm going to sleep just at the beginning of primetime television every night, so I rarely watch things live. If I wanna stay up for a game or something it's like a big deal that I have to plan for. I'm in central time btw.

How bout you GAF, you like your schedule?

My work is from 10-19, I usually wake up at around 7:00, get an hour of exercise from about 7:20-8:20, and leave about half an hour later to work (my commute is about an hour).

I don't have to be at work until like 9:45, but I wake up at 6:30 to go to the gym, and then leave for work at 9 since it takes about 45 min to get there

Wake up at 5:15 since my commute is about 30-40 min drive.

I start around 6:15 ish and leave a little after or at 2:30 depending on my work load. Get home around 3:20-30 depending on traffic. I take hour lunches too.

Around 5:15.

My "official" time to go up is 5 AM but that never works and I go up fifteen minutes later. Sometimes I sleep for another ten minutes but then I really have to rush.

My previous work hours was during the evening, and even if going up in the morning is hell, I would never go back. Having the entire day left after work is much better.

Up at 5:30, to work at 6:30, head home at 3:30.

My boss is super lenient as long as I'm getting 40+, so I pretty much set those hours myself. I'd MUCH rather take a shower at night and get up early so that I can have a longer evening at home. Having free time from 4:00-10:00pm every night is something I didn't think I would find, since my last job was more like 7:30-6:00.

Used to wake up at 4 am, but currently at 7 am. Kinda miss waking up before everyone else, but it's not sustainable in the long run.

5:45, enough time to walk, feed and play with the dog, eat breakfast and arrive at work by 8:00. I also commit to the same time come my Friday off and over the weekend as that way I can get the most out of the weekend's time and regiment my game dev time!

I sleep when I'm tired on a weekday, and way past that point if I'm working still over the weekend (if at all).

6:45ish. Currently a 9am start but new job will be 8:30 start. Half hour commute so might start waking up at 6 to give myself some more time. I like to have a solid hour to eat breakfast, drink coffee, watch TV/browse news, shit. I usually shower night before but will squeeze a morning shower in sometimes as well. Also takes me a solid 15 minutes to get everything ready to leave the dog w/ his food, toys, etc. so if I don't wake up earlier I won't have time to get everything done.

Usually wake up around 6:20am and work from 7am to 3pm. I used to get up later since I can start whenever I want as long as I do my 7 hours + break time. But starting early and leaving early saves me half an hour since I'm not stuck in traffic all the time.

I get up between 5:30 and 6, leave by 7 in order to get to work before 8:30 and account for potential traffic.

My last job I lived a lot closer, so I could get up at 8 and roll in by 9.

6:20 and it's horrible lol. I need to leave by 7 but I never leave on time (I eat breakfast at work) :/

I need to change my work schedule to remove the two hour lunch, but right now it's the only way I can get exercise time in without a car :< I might change it regardless and just do bodyweight exercises at home or something, as it isn't really working out lol.

I don't start work till 9am, but I get up about 4-5am, simply because as I get older I just seem to wake up earlier and earlier!

5:20 am, but that is because I want to go to the park and do some exercise. Otherwise, 6:10 am. I start at 8 am and finish at 4 pm.

Not early at all.
Get up at about 7:45, leave the house at about 8:30, and aim to be at my desk at about 9:15 - 9:30 depending on traffic.

I used to come in early, but the traffic is much better if I leave at 8:30 than when I was leaving at 7:00. If I left at 7am, I'd routinely get an hour+ of traffic every day. Now leaving at 8:30, for the most part, my commute is 45minutes door to desk, except if there's an accident or something.

I'm a weirdo and on the weekends I usually get up at about 7. My dog knows when it's a Sat/Sun and I usually take him for an early walk.

Tues & Thurs 7AM to be at work for 8:30AM
M-W-F 6AM to be at work for 7AM

My schedule is a bit weird. Less traffic at the earlier time so I can sleep an extra half hour.

Wake up around 4:15, go to the gym from ~4:45-6:30. Shower at the gym, 40 min commute to start at 7:30. Work until 3:30, but I've been working a lot of overtime so usually more like 7-7:30pm.

I start at 7:30am and end at 4pm so I wake up around 4am to get ready, eat breakfast, and maybe watch an episode of a show.

I usually start between 9 or 10 and work until 6 / 6:30. 15 minute bikeride to the office. I rarely eat breakfast. So usually just a shower. I try to get out around 8 but if I get up at 9 I'm still at the office in around 30 minutes.
