LAST POLL RESULTS

62.5% of you voted About the same in yesterday’s poll: How does your weekend wake-up time compare to weekdays?

“I wake up without an alarm about the same time each day of the week.”

“3:30 AM every day! I’m a monk!”

“I am retired.”

“I’m retired, so I keep pretty much the same schedule.”

“I’m recently retired and trying to get a routine going. If I start sleeping in on weekends, I’ll never get that routine set. When I worked, I needed the extra sleep as a form of pampering — but not anymore.”

“I’m retired, so weekends are the same — big improvement: no Monday morning blues!”

“I’m retired, so no rush in the morning!!”

“I’m retired and have always slept in — a night owl, late to bed, late to rise.”

“Since I’ve retired, I fall asleep around midnight and wake up around 8 or 8:30am — no alarm clock, hooray!”

“I am retired, so I don’t have a set wake-up time. It just depends on how well I slept that night — whether I sleep in later or not.”

“About the same because, thank goodness, I’m retired! I can sleep when I want, and I can stay up late if I’d like. It’s wonderful not to have to worry about waking up at 5:30am to face an hour or more drive into work to be with people you’re not so fond of. Every day is the weekend for me!”

“I wake up at the same time, but I’m usually able to fall back asleep if I need to. 😴”

“Unfortunately, my body clock doesn’t recognize weekends.”

“As much as I say I’m going to sleep in, my body wakes me up at the same damn time I get up every morning for work.”

“I have a golden retriever who doesn’t know weekends from weekdays — she’s our alarm clock.”

“Work days, I wake up to an alarm, and when it goes off, my dog makes sure I’m awake. Non-work days, I just wake up when the sun comes up.”

“5 during the weekdays, 6:30–7 on the weekends.”

“My internal alarm won’t let me sleep past 7am, but I’m okay with that. I love being an early bird — quiet, slow weekend mornings with coffee, heading to an 8am workout class, or a morning walk with my dog are a few of my favorite things!”

“I can’t imagine waking up at 5:15am by choice.”

“I SLEEP IN SMALL SEGMENTS. ALL AROUND 2.5 HOURS. SADLY, BATHROOM CONTROLS MY SCHEDULE.”

“I usually wake up early to use the restroom, then stay awake for about an hour before trying to sleep for a couple more hours. One of my favorite things is turning my phone off at night when I don’t have an alarm!”

“I definitely reward myself with an extra snooze on weekends, but I do find myself waking up around the same time and saying, ‘HA, not today!’”

“Sometimes I can sleep in on the weekend, and sometimes my body’s internal clock wakes me up at the same time as my workdays.”

“My days to catch up on sleep are Saturday and Sunday.”

“Good question. In my youth, I’d sleep as long as I could on the weekends. Now that I’m older, it’s pretty much early to bed and early to rise.”
