Right now I wake up at 10am. I work from 1pm until 1am. Then I go home and stay up for an hour or two then go to bed.

That time and when wake up are when I play games or watch something.

When I work day shifts I wake up at 4:11 am, on the tick, for a 5:30 am shift. Not sure why that specific time, but that's what it is. When I work night shifts(that start at 5:30 pm), I usually wake up between 12 pm and 2pm, giving me a few hours to do things if I choose(usually just video games though).

Wake up at 6 or 6:30am, eat immediately, workout by 7 or 7:30, shower, get to work by 9:30am.

Crazy thing is, I only live 20 minutes door-to-door from my office yet barely get there on time despite getting up 3.5 hours beforehand. Then again, my workouts are mad long.

I wake up at at 7:00 am. In the morning if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now.

After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub.

Then, I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Then, finally, I go to work

Start at 9. Alarms set for 7:50, 8, 8:10 and 8:20. Get out of bed finally at 8:20, have a shit and brush my teeth (not simultaneously) and I'm out by 8:30. Arrive at work at 8:50.

6am, 6:20 at the latest.

I wake, work out (usually) for about 30 min, then ready and out the door no later than 7:30. Commute is an hour to an hour and a half depending on traffic.

Amateur.

Seriously though, nothing will throw me off more than if I take a longer-than-expected-shit in the morning.

8:30 or 9:30 AM depending on if I start at 10 or 11. Not too bad. Though I had to open the other day and had to be up my 5:30. Fucking bruuutal.

Right now I'm working 10pm-6am. So I wake up around 7pm. I generally leave around 815 and 820. It's an hour drive with about a five minute walk. So I get there around 930.

Wake-up 5am weekdays, finish work at 2.30. Supervisor at a cafe so the early hours are obvious. Perfectly fine with getting up early, actually enjoy it due to the low traffic in the city. Plus finishing at 2.30 is perfect timing being it's right before both school kids finishing and typical office hours ending.

I wake up two hours before I need to be at work, usually 6:30 or 7 depending how I feel. Work until 6-6:30 typically (I'm on a 9/80 schedule).

Up at 5, out the door at 6 to catch a 6:30 train which gets me into the office for 8:30. Aim to leave at 16:20 for the 17:30 train home which gets me in my front door at 19:15 although this doesn't always pan out. To be honest it's pretty brutal but it's only 3 days a week and it's surprising what you can get used to. By the end of the year I'll be adding another work from home day so I'll be down to just 2 in the office. Can't come soon enough.

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?

I had your schedule two years ago OP. It was brutal. I had my day offs scattered to Friday and Sunday, so I didn't even have two days off in a row. I was questioning my choice in careers and thinking of suicide.

A year ago, I got a 8-430/Monday-Friday gig. So much better. I get up at 6,have breakfast and brush teeth, put in contacts and leave at 7. Drive to work takes about 30 minutes. I get at work around 730 and chill and get ready before I clock in at 755.

Wake up at 7:30 , Take the bus at 8:15 (bus stop is really close to my house). Start work at 8:30 and am usually done at 18:30-19:00

By the time I'm done with cooking, eating, cleaning, laundry and other chores it's often 20:30-21:00. Then I have 3 hours to do whatever (often it's at least 1 of gaming)

I normally wake up around 6:30 AM and read the internet and maybe watch the internet before getting up around 7:30 to start work at 8:25-8:30. It is a 7 minute walk.
