Wake up at 6:00 because fiance takes a shower before me. I rest my eyes until she's done around 6:30.
Get to work around 7:45-8:00 depending on if people want to merge correctly. I've seriously had a 15 minute slowdown because people can't merge. Not an accident. Merging. If I get to work at 7:45 I'll do my coffee prep and start early so I can get a few more minutes in at the work gym.
Around 6:10 AM for me. Wake up, get the kid ready for school while fiancée gets ready for work, push them both out the door by 6:40, then shower at 7:20 or so, to get out the door by 7:45 to catch a 7:50 bus to work. I work 8:30-5:30 currently, though that's changing in a few weeks.
I naturaly wake up at around 7 or 7.30, but snooze until around 8 or 8.30. I work from home and I'm usually at my desk at 9.15. Work starts after checking mails and stuff, at 9.30
I'm sort of with you, OP. I do morning radio and wake up at 345am for a 5am shift. I'm out at 1pm every day, so that's nice.... but like you said, I'm in bed pretty early. I used to work a split shift, 5a-9p, 3p-7p M-F. It was awful.
Alarm clock goes off 6 am but rarely I go up at that time. I usually snooze for like an hour or more. Big believer in snooze and gradually waking up, usually I can't even remember the first few snooze button hitting periods.
Today for instance I got up 06:10 and got to work at 07:15 am. Yesterday I dropped in at work at 9 am.
(I have flex hours at work so I need to be at work latest 9 and can leave earliest 15. currently at 10+ hours. )
4:30 am. 7:00-7:15 am depart. 7:20-35 am in office.
Work start at 8, but I like to avoid traffic.
Finish at 5 pm if its a good day, if not 5:30~ pm which I actually like to avoid traffic.
Basically, I rather have stress free traffic on my day of work.
Wake up anywhere from 6:20-6:50 AM, catch my bus a nosehair before 7:30 AM, get to work at 8:00 AM, post on GAF until 4:30 PM, go home. Rinse, repeat, Monday through Friday.
On weekdays when I don't have school, I work about 4pm to 11pm, and I typically wake up at like 11am or noon.
On weekends I work 9am to 11pm and usually get out of bed at like 8:15am.
Mon/Tue/Fri, work from home, get up at 5:55>snooze>6, work 6:15ish till 2:45, then extra hours, often 2-3 per day, to get extra time off. I find it easier to do that at home.
Wed/Thurs, work at the office, get up 10 mins earlier, get to office via car + public transit at 6:55, leave at 3:25, home at 4:15ish.
I wake up every day around 5:00-5:30 AM. The only time I use an alarm clock is rare times I have to get up earlier, otherwise that's just the time I wake.
My alarm is set for 6:20 AM. Pretty much every morning I snooze once for ten minutes that I spend snuggling with my wife before I get up and get ready. Usually at the office (15 minute commute) by 7:15. Usually leave by 4:00. It's a great schedule for me. I can usually completely avoid traffic, and I get a lot done before other people show up at the office starting ~8:30.
