    For the last 20 years my alarm has gone off at 05.37. Yes is a bit precise but its in the DNA and timing is/was everything. My new open eye time is around 7.30 and I'm loving it. Just wondered if any others are as idle as me.

    I'm almost always awake before my alarm (anytime between 06:30 and 07:30) and usually wake up at the same time on a weekend. I normally get about six hours sleep, when I'm not struggling with insomnia, and I cope pretty well.

    For the last few weeks it's been about 2:30am. On occasion I've got back to sleep, but mostly I just lie there awake.

    06.30 with the dog and/or cats and/or grandkids. Never had an alarm, I seem to have an inbuilt clock.

    7:30 and you call it idle?

    I often wake up on the wrong side of noon.

    A lot of my colleagues are in the US, so that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

    Normally 0530 however I decided last night since I’m essentially on holiday to knock clock on two hours have a lie in and take fat lad out for one longer walk rather than two long walks.

    Did 5 miles late morning/early afternoon along one of my usual routes and saw more people today than I normally see in a week, even two fuckers bird watching sat on camping chairs the approved distance apart.

    Up at 6 am for work, up at 6 am when off cos that's time dog gets up too so never have a lie in.
    Still get up at a similar time when away on holiday even if i've only been in bed a couple of hours.

    When I was working I used to start at 8, so I set my alarm for 7:43 but usually woke up naturally at 7:37, just in time to turn the alarm off.

    Since I stopped work I don't need my alarm, but now I wake up naturally at 6:58.

    I just wait while our lass falls to sleep n' put redtube on that usually knocks me out.

    Normally wake-up for a splash fart at 5.15 a.m.

    Joking aside I don't sleep. I lie awake watching my son.

    Normal working day alarm is 5:50am but now it’s set for 8am and I feel like a brand new person. I’m normally always tired but not anymore!
