My first shift starts at 6am, so 5am on that day, between 7am and 8am on the others due to my two kids, 2 years old and 7 months old.

They have severely curtailed my binge drinking, some would say that's a good thing.

Weekdays I'm up around 7:45ish and out the door to advance my learning by 8:20

Weekends I'm up no later than 8:30...unless I was up till 3 or 4...then it's about 9. I've never understood the greatness of sleeping in till noon...it's a complete and utter waste of a day. One of my friends once slept for 17 hours. 17! I don't know if that's sleeping or a coma...

My body doesn't allow me to sleep past 9. I'm usually awake by 8.

I slep close to that once, when I was working either midnight - 8:30 or 3:30 am - noon. there was always OT available and by the end of the week you could get pretty bagged especially when the flames played. went to bed at 11am woke up 1:30 am longest I have and ever will sleep I know for sure.

I guess it would depend on what time you go to bed at. I enjoy sleeping in past noon because I don't like to go to bed until 3-4am. If I end up only sleeping 8 hours I am not sure how it is a wasted day.

Theres not much worth doing before noon anyways and I get a lot more stuff done at night than I do in the morning. Now that I have to get up I find I spend the morning trying to kill time more than anything and rarely get stuff done.

My girlfriend and I both work nights, so...

Somewhere around 4pm when the dog starts whining for her food.

I love night shift. I go in at 10, get off at 6am. So I work when most people are sleeping, then I sleep when most people are working. But I also have the option of doing whatever I want during daytime hours by altering my sleep schedule a bit. Saves on days off. As far as weekends, like someone said before, nothing really happens before noon anyway.

Make lunch for the day.
Bottle heats at the same time.
Wake up the wife to feed baby.
Shower.

On the road about 7:45-7:50 to arrive at the office 8:00 or shortly after.
