    I usually wake up at 6:30 am.

    Gym, breakfast, shower, read the newspaper, and then a short commute so I'm at work around 9 am.

    I'm averaging 5-6 hours of sleep on weekdays in spite of my new year's resolution to get 8 hours.

    Wake up ~6:00am to ****, shower, shave and we're out the door by 6:45 (my wife and I carpool most days). I'm typically in bed by 10 and asleep by 11 after reading/watching tv/I say-a bang bang bangity bang, I say-a bang bang bangity bang.

    Alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m.

    I hit the snooze until 7.

    I have to be at work at 8.

    I take my showers the night before.

    same. I know some people say they need a shower just to "wake up" in the morning but all I need is breakfast.

    Generally up by 6:15 AM and off to work within 15 minutes. As others state, I shower the night before or at the YMCA near the office after working out. Usually go to bed between 11 and midnight.

    Currently on Brazil time so I am going to sleep around 8:00 PM U.S. CST and waking up around 3:00 AM U.S. CST.

    Just when I get back to my normal routine, I'll be on Africa time (+9 hours) for 3 weeks.

    Go to bed at midnight (usually) wake up at 7, then snooze until 8:20. Leave for work at 8:40-8:50.

    So I get about 8 hours if I fall right to sleep. I am usually pretty dead for the first 2 hours of the day. I have to take a really hot shower to wake myself up and even give myself a little pep talk to motivate me to turn off the shower. I hate that feeling, so warm, then with one clockwise turn I am cold again. It wouldn't be so bad if I ever had my heater on, but I usually just rock a sweatshirt to save energy.

    I call BS. Married people only do it on the weekend. That's the rule.

    I wake up around 5:50 or so, get up take the damn dog out, feed the b****, take a shower, get dressed, and I'm out the door. I live in Katy and work of 59 and Bissonnet so my commute is lovely every single morning.

    What do you eat? I have never really eaten breakfast. I am usually not hungry for the first few hours of the day. However, I have no energy until after lunch. Also, I am trying to get myself into a health groove. I got a gym membership yesterday (sisters called me fat, but then offered to pay for my gym membership) so I am considering starting p90 again and eating better. What is a healthy balanced breakfast? Fruit? Eggs? Only time I ate breakfast was 'Breakfast for Lunch' in the school cafeteria.

    My Dad and I both run the family business (a small company focused on refrigeration engineering), so our sleep time is very flexible.

    Most of the time we sleep around 2 to 3 am in the morning, then wake up at around 9 or 10 am. Sometimes i wake up at 12pm noon then do work up to 1 am.

    Best part of is that our office is just here at home, thou we also have to visit our fabrication shop, it is only about 5 minutes away by car.

    up at about 6:15am - make breakfast for wife and oldest kid - they leave by 7am for school. wake up youngest at 7:15 after I'm showered and ready, we eat breakfast & leave by 8 with dishes cleaned. Drop youngest off at daycare and I'm at work between 8:30-8:45ish. Home by 6:30pm with youngest. Bed between 10:00-11:00 depending on what I need to do.
