OMG I was just like this on our reccie last year!!!! (except don't think I used to last much past 8pm ) awake every morning about 5ish!!!! hoped when we moved I'd be different!!!!!!!!!!!

SonicBird

Its too hot to stay in bed.. unless you have aircon in the bedroom!! I love getting up early over here.. doesn't bother me at all.. and going to bed is easy coz the TV is shit over here!!!

it's about the lifestyle - so I can go cycling early in the morning when it's not baking hot! go with the flow curly!!

Yup - 5am here to get to the gym for 6am. Back for 7am, brekky and then my day starts. As you, in bed before 10pm every night. Usually I make myself stay up to 9 out of principal lol.

Welcome to Queenslands lifestyle! Personally I like the mornings to be able to do stuff anyhow. Then chill out a little more in the arvo when the heat of summer hits hardest.

Oh well - off to uni today for me. Finish there at 9pm and wont be home till 10. I'm usually lucky to make it back still awake....

wargod

Normally between 4.30 and 6.00


Shite init !

Phoenix

Hmm confused now - when myself and the girls was over in August none of us could raise our heads before midday - and one of them was only 8

2am and ping - we were all up watching french movies on SBS

chels

I get up at pretty much the same time as I did back in England ie as late as I can without making myself late for work, so currently 7.45am. The birds, sun, planes when the flight path is over us, neighbours' kids and neighbours' dogs all try hard to wake me up, but on the whole I can either sleep through them or get back to sleep.

Neither I nor my OH are morning people, prefering to be night owls so tend to go to bed about 11ish.

However, I find I can no longer sleep in at the weekends, and miss my long lie-ins till lunchtime! Get a lot more done though, I suppose

glittababe

4.30 - 5am depending on what time the cockatoos start screaming! Today it was 5.15am! Off with boys surfing now, someone mentioned there was going to be a storm up this way this evening?

The OH

ditto with the time, always been a morning person but the birds are my alarm clock..NOW

got too much weight to train I'm sweating like a 'blue arsed fly'
so go swimming instead.....load bearing

and then I need a Richard Branson in the arvo..take the mutts for their constitutional before sunset and in bed for 11....

KatieStar

5.30am when my 18 month year old wakes me up. I give him brekkie then he goes outside and plays. It is good to make the most of the early morning as at the moment it is too hot for him to play outside for most of the day. In the arvo we sometimes go for a swim.

Ozzy dog

I too am living the life of a pensioner!!!!

When we first moved into our home we were woken by an almighty sound at around 4 - 4:30am!!!!!!!!!!!! A huge flock of birds, Cockatoos I believe screaming over our house as part of their daily migration. I can remember sitting up in bed and saying to hubby, "You've got to be kidding me!" Well they weren't and 18 months in they do it every morning and at sunset every night.

Hence we go to bed early and get up early, it didn't take me long to figure that this was the best way to live in Queensland.

If your phone rings past about 8:30pm we know its a POM, all the Ozzies are in bed!!!!

Good luck to all with their sleep patterns - you do get used to it and if you have any sense you make the most of it.
