How long does it take....

... Look at the clock -- it's 5 o'Dark thirty...

OMG! LOL I thought my family was the only one that used this phrase! O'dark thirty *giggle*

Funny thread. I'm not a morning person, never have been - but work has sort of made me into one. I still don't just pop out of bed in the morning, but I'm getting up a lot later than I used to. On normal days (those with no early morning meetings), I set my alarm for 7:20. I try to squeeze as much sleep time in as possible. Lately though, I've been waking to nature's call around 6:45, but then I get back into bed and sometimes doze back off until my alarm sounds at 7:20. That gives me just enough time to get ready and run out the door. I pee, wash hands and face, brush teeth, apply makeup, do hair then put on clothes and leave. I'm usually out the door by 8:00 and at work by 8:15!

I'm currently in college, so what my routine switches day by day. If I get up super early, I'm more likely going to be moving slowly.

However, I'm in May Term right now, which is one class for 4 weeks, 2 hours a day. It doesn't start until noon.

I set my phone alarm for 9 just so I can get up and look over stuff, have time to laze around, etc etc. Most mornings, though, I wake up way before then. Sometimes, I wake up right before it goes off. If I wake up naturally, then I can pop out of bed within seconds and be ready.

My roommate laughs at me because my morning routine is a short one, even if I have to take a shower. My showers are speedy quick. She hasn't even had time to brush her teeth by the time I'm out of the shower. Hahaha.

I can be ready within minutes of getting up, and I'm never really tired when I get up. It's usually a few hours later that I'm feeling tired. That's what I come back from class and lab and take a nap!
