Do you rush out in the morning?

Slide to power off

How much time is there between the time you get up out of bed and leave the house?

For me, I get up at 7 and the leave the house at 8. In that time I have a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast and relax with a coffee whilst watching tele. I hate rushing out the door.

Same. Gives me a chance to get my head straight and my thoughts organised. I hate rushing or being late.

Mint Sauce

Rush out most mornings.

Shower the night before, and breakfast at work.

Although 18 months at job, and only late twice.

smash

I rush around. But only because I press snooze 6 times.

hefferboi

Set the alarm for 7, snooze till half 7, get up at 7.45, shower and food and out the door at 8.

Amirani

First alarm for 7:30, up at 8:00. Showered, dressed and out of the house for 8:15. Into work at 8:30.

whirlpool

I wake up and leave the house 30 mins later to go to work. In that 30 mins I shower and dress. I never eat before work because my stomach tends to remain asleep for a few hours after I've woken.

pharmaton

about an hour, make coffee, have a smoke while water heats, brush teeth, have shower, get dressed, put on my wig and face and I'm out the door.

Sala

Rush out the door. I have never gotten the hang of getting out of bed when I dont absolutely have to. Even if I'm not out and go to bed at say 11pm on a Friday night I have to be shoehorned out of the bed at 11am on a Saturday.

Esoteric_

Up at either 6.30am or 7am.

Showered, dressed, make up done by twenty past, or half past 7.

I press snooze about 6 times, and then fall back asleep. Next time I wake up, my face looks like this :eek:

You're doing it wrong.

Lisha

Alarm off at 5:50
Shower
Start waking kids
Dry hair
Dress kids
In car for 6:50
Drop kids to minders
Drive to work for 8:00

So yes it can be very rushed especially if kids are sleepy

Thankfully I only work 3days a week. Think it would be too tough 5days a week

God no, I can't stay in bed that late! I usually go to bed around midnight, finally fall asleep by about 3, up anywhere between 6-7.30.

Are you not absolutely wrecked all the time? I couldn't even function on that.

I like getting up a good hour before I need to leave the house, but I'd just be too tired. I usually get up at 7.00 and leave the house by 7.20.

Wasn't always like this.. used to do 1000 km per week to/from work

Then I got promoted, relocated and moved .. these days I'm usually home before 5 (except today.. 7:30am-6:30pm )

Ah well, at least I'm off tomorrow/Friday.

Go to bed earlier. I've read that for optimal health you should wake up naturally without an alarm.

It doesn't matter what time I get up, I'm still always rushing to leave the house.

Thank God I'm a bloke!

Scratch.
Pick clothes off floor.
If said clothes pass sniff test, wear.
Ready to once more tolerate the world....


I've my moring down to a 15 minute fine art, 5 min shower, thow on some clothes and head out the door, breakfast at my desk when I get into work at 8am thus ensuring the maximum amount of scratcher time. I just don't get the 'I hit snooze every five minutes 15 times' crowd. Surely it's better to get up when you need to get going rather then have 20 or 30 mins of interrupted sleep when you could spend it snoozing rather then hitting snooze.

ShadowHearth

5:00 alarm goes off - turn that sucker off.
5:30 alarm goes off - get up, pants up, glass on, a wee, check in mirror if face is still at same spot.
5:45 at work clock in and pew pew pew.
11:00 first coffee and breakfast.

I would if I didn't have to work about 16 hours a day.

candy-gal1

Yeah I hate rushing out in the morning etc to get to wherever I need to be, It doesnt matter how early I need to be somewhere or leaving the house I need at the very least an hour to get myself ready, preferbly 2 tbh.

Kerryite

I like to take my time in the mornings!

Alarm goes off around 5.45-6am. Breakfast, coffee (or 2), Internet, think about day, make sure I have everything, dress, teeth.
Leave around 6.40, in gym at 7 (or make a 6.45 am class), shower, makeup.
In work sometime around 8.45-9.

I prefer to laze on the couch in the evenings, would probably rarely make the gym after work if I changed to an evening routine. Even at weekends I'm rarely in bed after 8 am. I hate rushing in the mornings.

ElleEm

I find the whole "snooze" thing mad. Why would you waste valuable sleeping time by setting your alarm earlier than you have to?! You can't sleep properly during snooze time, so just give yourself the extra time actually sleeping.

When I was working, I used to wake at 6:15am, and was out by 7am. If I was rushing for any reason it would ruin the rest of my day. Hate that flustered feeling!

There's that tiny moment of satisfaction where you know you have another few minutes, it is a bit sadistic because every five minutes it keeps reminding you to get the fup and yet you continue to bathe in the temporary warmth until it becomes uncomfortable. I've learned how to sleep through the alarm at this stage so the snooze no longer applies

XsApollo

Alarm goes off at 6.20
Snooze till 6.49 get up dressed ( clothes are on the ground beside the bed)
Brush teeth,
Rinse mouthwash while going downstairs and spit out in downstairs toilet ( good use of precious time)
Grab keys and wallet and into car at 6.56 - 6.57
Clock in clock in at 7.00 - 7.01
Wake up around 10.00 - 10.30

Alarm goes off at 6.20. Pull on my shorts and runners, brush my teeth, and out the house by 6.30. Have a shower at work, where I keep all my suits and shirts

Hate getting ready for work at home. Home is home and work is work. I keep them completely separate

SimonLynch

Used to go into work with my Dad, who drove and didn't have a tooth in his head, two full sets of dentures. We were 500 yards down the the road one morning and he said '****e, forgot my teeth' rapid u-turn to collect same

Same here. I rush every morning and I can't help it. Could be rushing to clock in at 7:59:59 to start at 8 and giving out to myself that I should leave earlier or end up rushing and end up sitting in the work car park at 7:30 like a chump listening to terrible morning radio and thinking to myself that I could have stayed in bed for and extra 29 mins and 59 seconds.

I get the Russian out very early before the wife gets back from work.

A pain I know all too well. So this is what it feels like, when doves cry...
