I'm trying to start training for a run at the end of the summer at the moment. I'm definitely at my most productive in the morning so should try to train then but can't quite get myself to actually get up before I have to and although I set the alarm early I'm hitting snooze, then snooze again and again so you see where this is going........Plus I have no appetite first thing which is not good.

My question(s) is -

What is your morning routine - do you give yourself lots of time and enjoy a leisurely breakfast/just a bit of you time or whatever before you have to leave the house or are you a get up at the last minute, grab a quick shower and out the door type of person like me?

Do you get up when the alarm goes off or are you a snoozer?

And finally, have you been able to change your routine if you wanted to and how did you do it?

Thanks all

***up at 3:30am right away
walk and feed dog
prepare my coffee and pack my breakfast (made the night before) and place in my messenger bag
watch face and put on a bit of makeup and dress (i take my showers after my workouts at the gym)

When im required to be up and atem at whatever hour,I usely am with the first ting of the clock.But other wise I am not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination,I often dont fall asleep really well till about 3 a.m. so its prolly about 10:00am before I get up..unless I have some unknown reason to be up.

As a teenager I sucked at getting up in the morning. I'm still not a huge morning person, but it's not as hard to get up. Mostly my body wakes up almost automatically around 8am, and if I have nowhere to be it takes a bit of work to try to get back to sleep if I want to try to sleep in.

If I'm going to work I'll often have to get up around 4:45 am to 5:30 am depending on the day/shift. Usually I give myself about an hour to get ready, which is enough to shower, get dressed, maybe eat breakfast and get out the door. I'm not really a leisurely person on work days, cause I like to sleep as much as possible, so an hour does it, lol. I don't hit the snooze button ever, though. Although I have caught myself on the rare occasion almost falling back asleep...much to my horror and sends me into overdrive trying to get ready in time.

But no matter what time I have to get up, it usually goes wake up -> possibly check email etc if I have time -> shower -> get dressed -> eat.
