For me it is the other people who LOVE the morning and try to make you LOVE it with them!"C'mon sleepy-head. It's wakey-upey time! It's a beautiful morning, the sun is shining AND THE BIRDS ARE SINGING! SMILE AND BE HAPPY, YAAAAAAAAY!!!" "No. It's early. I didn't get enough sleep. Now leave me alone before I have to kill you!" ------------------

What do I hate the most about the mornings? The sun.Jerry, I don't have an accurate hour count, as I didn't realize those times I was about to enter the day that would never end, but I've had several that have tipped the 48 hour mark. (Something tells me that my 48 hour day is not going to end up being the record amongst the members here.) I too have gone months without seeing a sunrise, but am finding myself seeing more and more of them lately, right before I go to sleep after working all night. There's just something not right about walking out of a theater to see the sun rising.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: getting out of bed before 9:30am or so isn't a natural part of the human condition. It's a ritual which just sort of stuck, but just because it's conventional doesn't mean it isn't perverse. Those folks who can not only deal with it but actually thrive on it, well...welcome to planet earth I guess.As an aside, I went for a job interview a few days ago. It's a long story and most of the details aren't relevant to this thread, but the fact that the job involved starting work at 7am(!!!) 5 days a week with 12 hour shifts made it somewhat less than attractive. Don't get me wrong - there were other factors such as the lousy pay and downright ugly working conditions/environment which made the decision not to even consider it very easy, but waking up at 5am daily for so very little to look forward to is (insert expletive here). ------------------

I usually like to get to bed by about midnight or so. Get to sleep around 12:30A or later depending on what's going on.... Yeah, morning "practice" can really take it outta ya, but then again, it's usually worth it.... I usually get outta bed around 7:30A or so depending on what's going on that day.....

Hi. Remember me?My job will be starting at 5AM this week and will be working for 12 hour shifts with TWICE the equipment that I had to operate in the past. I hate my job, but am glad to have one right now. There are so many here out of work. I would work at a local theatre, but what they offered made me laugh and walk. More later....

I rarely get up before 11AM, if I am lucky.
