How are you when it comes to getting out of bed in the morning?

[Applefan1]

are you like a

Spring lamb, I can bounce out of bed the moment my alarm goes off. Often I am already awake. I can focus fully from the moment I get up.

or are you

Just average when it comes to getting up in the morning, it is not too hard but not as easy as a spring lamb bouncing around in the paddock.

or are you like a

car that is extremely hard to start and when you finally do start you there is a big cloud of smoke and you run rough until you have warmed up.

Which one are you?

[Aristotle]

I don't get out of bed at all, it's sort of a problem. Since it's summer and I am sitting around waiting for uni I've been sleeping 15 hours on some days. All I really do is run, eat and occasionally go out with friends. On days when I have stuff to do I wake up really slowly, takes a lot of effort. I just love sleep way too much.

[Bandit74]

If I have something in the morning, then I can force myself to get out of bed. However when I don't have anything, then I am AWFUL at getting out of bed. Sometimes I'll go back to sleep for like 30 min, wake up again, and then just lie there for another hour.

[lillianpassion]

I'm not much of a morning person, but I'm usually okay if I take my time getting up, lol :P I hate being rushed by my parents though! I just end up stubbing my toe & getting even more cranky/annoyed, lol :) I usually feel like a human being again by twelve o'clock and later

Interesting question :)

[Applefan1]

Yeah it is interesting. Here is my next question would you say girls/women struggle to get up in morning and are more grumpy about it or would you say men/boys are or would you say you can't really apply a whole gender to it like that?

[lillianpassion]

I would say everyone is different and guys and girls don't all fit under one category. I'll make the assumption that girls are more cranky about it because we're generally more moody, lol :P We also take a longer time getting ready for the day which means we need more time to apply makeup & pick an outfit ;) Just my theory & I hope I'm not the only one who prefers afternoons & nights, lol :)

[Applefan1]

Isn't that when some guys get cranky lol when a girl takes too long to get ready lol. I don't tho.

[lillianpassion]

Well girls try to look good not only for themselves but for guys as well, lol ;) So guys should be appreciative of the effort we put in & stop complaining that we take forever :P But when girls say "five more minutes," we really mean 30, lol :)

[Applefan1]

Sorry if that did not come across quite right I was meaning it in a light hearted way not in a serious way. Well not all of us guys aren't appreciative. I am appreciative of it. The thing that makes me not appreciative of it anymore is if a girl had a poor attitude and treats me badly.

[lillianpassion]

I know you were just joking around, lol :) No worries! I was only making a point that girls have a good excuse for taking a long time ;) But the beautifying process is more complex than guys can understand & I'm sorry if this is a little off topic from your original question, lol :) Glad I could give some insight!

[Applefan1]

Don't worry I know how important it is to girls. I know I appreciate it but I am the kind of person that thinks that it needs to come with a good personality to from the girl. If a girl has a bad personality it sort of un does all the trouble she went to in my view. If the girl has a good personality to go with it I will appreciate it much more.

[Applefan1]

Lol it just did not sound like you knew that I was joking. :)

[lillianpassion]

You would've noticed if misunderstood your comment, lol :) But I know what you mean about a girl's personality. I also think a guy needs to be thoughtful/considerate in addition to being handsome, lol :) Like some guys don't put in the effort which makes the girl question his dedication. But before I go on another tangent I'd like to say that you raised some valid points :) No one wants to be around a physically attractive person if they have a negative attitude beneath the surface, lol :)

[Applefan1]

What I would have noticed if you misunderstood my comment you mean? Yeah it is true a guy does need to be thoughtful considerate to. The thing that annoys me is the way some girls think they are all that and give treat you like you're a bad person even when they do not even know you, honestly that just makes me smh and yeah your right no one wants to be around someone that is negative.

[lillianpassion]

I left a couple of words out, lol :) The girls you're talking about should get an attitude adjustment, lol :) But there are also some sweet girls out there too & I hope you meet some of them soon ;) Girls and guys perceive things differently, so it doesn't surprise me that disagreements happen from time to time, lol :) But girls shouldn't jump to conclusions about a guy's character without knowing him, and guys shouldn't take a girl for granted either. It's just about stepping in someone's shoes & trying to see things through their eyes before it escalates into a heated argument. Interesting discussion this has turned into, lol :)

[Applefan1]

Yeah I am in a bit of a bad mood at the moment becuase these girks just looked directly at me and laughed. :(

[Applefan1]

It happened not that long ago while I was talking to you. :/

[lillianpassion]

Just remember that every bad day is followed by a good one :) You'll eventually realize that your opinion of yourself is much more important than what girls or guys think of you :) No one can know what you're capable of so don't let people get you down. People only judge based on first impression & that's not always an accurate representation of the person. I hope I was able to cheer you up a little ;)

[Applefan1]

Yeah thank you.

[COCOCHANEL]

if i get enough sleep i feel ok but...
can't jump up straight away.

i have low blood pressure so i have to take it easy or i black out and collapse.

[Applefan1]

Well better to take it easy than collapse :)

[delrey]

Like moderate but I have to be careful because I have to get out of the bed, stand up then turn off the alarm. I've turned off the alarm while I'm still in the bed and one second later I go back into a deep sleep and I wake up it's been several hours since I turned off the alarm I've gotten in so much trouble doing that LOL!

[Kris85]

I am not a morning person. It takes me awhile to get up, I can't just bounce out of bed and if I haven't had my first cup of coffee, don't bother talking to me until I have had it.

[Applefan1]

Is that don't bother talking to you because your grumpy or you are just half asleep and anything someone says will not register at that time of the morning or both.

[Kris85]

Usually cause I am still half asleep and not much registers with me, there may be times I am a bit of a grump too.

[Applefan1]

Yeah I find often that if I am lying in bed and someone wakes me up to tell me somthing I often will not remember and I do remember I am not shure if someone said it or I imagined it.

[expandedmemory]

honestly. it just depends on the morning.

if I've been drinking, ill wake up really early am its weird.

if its anywhere before 10 am im a zombie

if its around 11-12 im still like an average laptop bootin up in the mornin lol

[smellyflowers]

I get out of bed with a smile on my face, I don't have an alarm, I get up before the sun rises anyway.

[Applefan1]

Yeah at least you're not grumpy lol. There is no excuse for being grumpy because we all have to get up and get on with our day. Go to school, university or work when we don't feel like it.

[MarkyyG123]

Yeah I'm the first one, I'm usually up before the alarm goes off and good to go by then. Just the way its been for me. I have my past to thank for that -.- but it has its moments now and again

[Creole_Flavor]

I'm like a car a really old rough and rugged one at that lol. I wake up and probably fall asleep before I wake up again, after that I tend to lay there for an hour before I actually get up out of bed

[soccerchick4eva]

Im only a morning person when i have something exciting that day to look forward to, if not then my bed is the way to stay :") hahah

[Applefan1]

Yeah that is true that pretty much sums me up to. :)

[soccerchick4eva]

ahah yeah :))

[Applefan1]

Hey you should answer my other one about what is the first thing you do in the morning.

[MysteriousFlower]

I generally get up to go to the bathroom. I try to motivate myself to do something fun early in the morning before work or study.

[Evelynm]

It depends on how i slept, but i usually wake up in a normal pace i guess.

[Evelynm]

Normal as in turning my alarm off and falling back to sleep, then waking back up 5 min later or what i think is 5 min later lol

[Applefan1]

Yeah you think it is 5 mins later and look at the clock and find it is actually 25 mins later. :)

[Evelynm]

Haha yeah

[Applefan1]

Exactly.

[SleepyChan]

You'll need a voodoo priestess to wake me up. I'm practically dead.

[Applefan1]

That is why you have sleepy in your name :)

[SleepyChan]

Yep. You guessed it!

[Applefan1]

Haha I wonder how I could have known lol!

[SleepyChan]

You're psychic!

[Applefan1]

Yup I sure am :)

[Applefan1]

Oh and I have a way that could wake you up real fast hehe :) are you keen to hear it hehe :)

[SleepyChan]

Not really... >.> Kinda scared.

[Applefan1]

Ahhh I am sorry it is not anything real bad :) But I won't say sorry did not mean it to come across like that.

[SleepyChan]

Oh okay. I hope it's not water!

[ChentleyAkkers]

Unless I force myself or have somehting extremely exciting to look forward to, it's hard for me to get out of bed.

[justbanANNAz]

bahah let's just say that the car example is an understatement.

[BCRanger10]

I'm generally a spring lamb. Though I do have my days when I simply decide to stay in bed.

[Grace_Rdz]

The 3rd one but in expert level :P it's so horrible :/

[Applefan1]

I understand. I can be like that to.

[Jahnnavi]

The 3rd one. I wake, look around myself, then fall asleep again. It's very hard to wake me up.

[Applefan1]

Yeah I understand I can be a bit like that

[TheNewClassic]

I have a really really reeeeeally reeeeeeeeally hard time waking up and getting out of bed.

[Applefan1]

Do you think this is more common with girls/women or men/boys or would you say it is not really a gender thing?

[TheNewClassic]

Hmm, I dont think its a gender thing.

[SilverWeb]

Well, I'm quite nocturnal. So I'm the 5-more-minutes kind of sleeper.

[jwhit]

I struggle to get out of bed, no matter how much rest I get.

[KingXilzo]

I'm a slow one, i don't think that there is anybody who masters option 1 ^^

[SomethingWicked]

I'm like the living dead until 1pm
