Veteran  284   Rugby, North Dakota |  Subject: Early to Bed ~ Early to RiseThere are probably a lot of fellow 4:00 risers out there, but is there anyone who gets up earlier than that? If so, when do you go to bed, and do you do 3:30 every week-day or split it up? |

Master 1661  Newbury Park, CA | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Mon - Fri up at 3:28 AM, at the gym when it opens at 4:30 AM for swimming or running, get to work between 6:30 - 7:00. Saturday up at 5:15 AM for the weekly leg shaving I tend to be in bed at 9 and go to sleep between 9:30 - 10. I don't get enough sleep!!! 3 and 5 year olds - Mom works out after work and I get to do whatever I want as long as it is before the crack of dawn. |

Supersonicus Idioticus 2439 Thunder Bay, ON | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Back in my highschool years, I used to go to bed at 9:15, and wake up at 4:45 on Tuesdays, wed, fri, saturdays (maybe bed at 10:30 fri night). The other days I'd fall asleep around 10:30, wake up at 7. Now... whenever my assignment is done (say 12:30, 1), wake up as close to class as possible. |

Extreme Veteran 579 | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Of course does vary some but for the most part I am asleep by 9-9:30 and up at 3:30 or so. During the season I can get at least an hour or so of workout in that way before the sun is up.  |

Veteran 146 Hannon, Ontario | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise The only reason I'm up at 3:30 is to go to the bathroom. On occasion my 2 yo will get me up at 4:30 but that's it. During the summer months when the sun rises earlier I'll get some training done but still in the 6-6:30 range - still not close to the 3:30-4:00 'vampire' shift. Good on you all!  |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Alarm goes off at 3:50 Mon-Fri to go to the gym. At work by 6:30. Early, but not as early on the weekends. I go to bed between 9:30-10pm. Occassionally have to sleep in until 4:30 if I stay up to late due to things like "life". I nap during my drive home from work. ;> |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise No thank you!! The earliest I get up is 5:15 on Mon./Weds./Fri. for swimming! The rest of the weekday is around 6:00 or so. Weekends I get to sleep in until about 6:45 (two young kids and a just under two year old dog who's body clock has to go out around 6:30 every morning - my fault). |

Wife, Mother, Friend. 2457 South | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise who has a gym that opens that early? My local Y's pool opens at 530am. Yeah, but not good when you have to leave for work by 5:45 at the latest. It's too dark to run alone, no partner, I"m not taking the dogs. I wanted to run in the parking garage at work on the weekends (2/3rds empty) but my hubby told me it was a bad idea- it's in the inner city. |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Lifetime Fitness. It's open 24 hours/7 days. I'm lucky too, because there is one 10 minutes from work and one near my house so I'm covered on the weekends and during the week I can drive in early to avoid the traffic. What really amazes me is that I get there at 4:30 in the morning and there are people LEAVING! |

Master 1845 Athens, Ga. | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Y'all are crazy, but really inspirational. In my perfect world, I'd work out at midnight. Anyway, I've decided to start getting up earlier (my early is 6:15 a.m.) to work in swims before work. That means a 10:15 bedtime - eight hours of sleep is a necessity. |

Expert 1135 Delano, MN | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise I get up at 5:30 to go to work (actually out of bed at 5:45 and out of the house at 6 am). I swim at lunch and workout in the evening. I TRY to get to bed at 9. When I don't I pay the price on lost sleep. |

Veteran 284 Rugby, North Dakota | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Boy, I thought of you guys this morning. I've tried 3:30 twice now, and both times God woke the dog up at 2. Haha! I'm not really sure that it added what I wanted it to add. I was trying to get my God-time in before the gym, and it just wasn't there. So I'll probably stick to the 4 time. Lucy, your husband is right. That's not safe! The dog and I used to run in the mornings, but it's so dark that we couldn't see a thing. We're safe out here but you can still trip over a turtle or something. Can't see anything. One morning she and I were running and knowing that no one was around, I cut loose with a little flatus and frightened a deer. Ha! The dog started to chase it... oh my... the fun we have with nature's critters. I hope that wasn't TMI because that's one of my favorite stories. |

Expert 1135 Delano, MN | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise Viking Mom - Something to consider. I use my backpacking headlamp when I run in the dark. They are light weight, illuminate the road or path OK and it keeps me from tripping on the road kill. Of course I look like a dork when I go through the nieghborhood but then what the heck... |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: Early to Bed ~ Early to Rise I've just started the switchover from PM workouts to AM workouts. We are usually ready to roll around 530 AM, which means I need to be up, ready, and out the door by 5 or so.... If we need to be ready by 5, I'm out the door @ 430. I get up at the last possible minute. De-gooberize my face and run out the door with sheet marks on my arms and cheeks. It's working out OK. |
