Waking up really early makes you feel superior to everyone

(part of this is untrue)

of course, we sleep and wake up later bcz we have more fun than you.

(out - accursed x-post!)

My research confirms this.

nothing beats watching
the sun come up while great tunes
play on yr discman

hadn't done that for
several months (too tired)
until this morning:

purple morning sky
robert earl keen's new disc and
the way new days smell

My sleeping habits have nothing to do with feeling superior to anyone except my former self. Lately not drinking myself to sleep is making me feel immeasurably superior to myself three weeks ago.

Maria: no such thing as "enough sleep."

but maybe this is why i don't even feel like being a part of humanity anymore, forget superiority

eventually my plan is to bel ike those yogis who don't ever sleep but nod off to go into another dimension. i think u need training for this though. you can also learn how to fuck up other peoples' dreams and cool shit, it's very handy stuff

hell no

I've come to live for the two weekdays I don't have to be ready for work by 7am. No class 'til 11ish, thank God.

I woke up at 5:30 this morning even though I don't have to leave the house until 9:30 or so. REALLY unusual for me. It feels kind of good - been getting work done and now I'm probably going to be finished with everything by 4pm today.

And falling asleep in front of Emmerdale with drool hanging out your mouth by 7.30

I woke up at 6 this morning IN THE FOREST and it was raining and I got freaked out because I knew big rains were on their way and packed up the campsite in 20 minutes and now we are back in civilization. And I feel superiorer than usual.

I've been waking up very early lately (4:30 a.m.) due to insomnia. I can't say my suffering makes me feel superior but I do seem to be more productive when I get to work at 6:30.

i love doing this, but TomD OTFM about the drawback.

Maybe it only works if you wake up late the other 99% of your life

otm

i have been waking up at 6 am all week and managing to drink tea and feed the cat and shower and make my lunch and then go to a 1-hr yoga class and then go to work
so yeah yeah i feel superior motherfuckers

when i was a kid, like maybe 5-10y/o, my parents being all drunk on NYE used to make me so mad that id get up at 6-7am new years day and ride my bike around the neighborhood blowing a whistle as loud as i could so everyone with a hangover would suffer.

bonita, i have the insomnia thing, but it's more that i don't go to sleep at night and then wake up late every freaking day.

i am still 1 hour behind from dst i think.

and yes, i feel inferior.

getting up really early makes me nauseated.

staying up late makes me feel edgy and cool, getting up early makes me feel tired, as it's very rarely for any productive purpose.

getting up early and hitting the open road, however, is classic

yeah, getting up before 5:30 makes me feel like barfing and falling down even if i go to bed early
(also i have been jogging to the yoga class
also i don't actually feel supersuperior and you are not actually all motherfuckers; the tone of the moment i got caught up. i do feel AWESOME tho)

thought yoga was meant to calm a mf down

I met this couple in New York who'd get up at 5am every day and cycle really fast round Central Park for an hour or so, then go home, have breakfast and go into work. I've never felt such an inferiority complex in all my life.

i am actually really impressed with your am routine, rrrobyn!
i keep telling myself that this summer when i have no class and only have to go to work, i will work in time for all these awesome morning activities before work. my friend used to go to the laundromat before coming into work which seemed insane to me, but in reality is probably do-able.

but also, like lauren, getting up early makes me nauseated. next week's gonna suck when i have to get up early 2 days in a row to go deal with 2400 kids (and their awful teachers) and try not to fall over in the process.

I think I've posted this before, but when I got a new job and went from dole-scrounging sleep-until-lunchtime lifestyle to getting up at 7:40, it took me a week to adjust. Then they changed my hours so I was getting up at 6:40, and 9 months later I have still not adjusted to that extra hour. Blggghhh.

I get up between 5 and 6 AM on weekdays and it has little or nothing to do w/my feelings of superiority

i should point out that my job allows me to get up at 9am and still finish before 5.30 most days, which is frankly pulling the p1ss.

i'm up 15 minutes before i need to be in work, even if i wake up hours beforehand i can't bring myself to get up and do anything productive.

so instead i just go bed at 3am, this way i'm using myself to full ability. i think.

back in my single days, i would sometimes get up at 5:30am, take some codiene, get breakfast, look at the computer, put in a dvd by 7am and drift off on the couch for the next 5 or so hours. see this way you get up early AND get to sleep in. you can feel superiorly inferior to yourself

wake and bake

waking up early at weekends mind is another story and totally mind blowing in every way

yeah, early weekends are the greatest, cos you're not getting up for anybody else.

getting up on sunday at 7 to be at work in tesco at 8 wasn't great, though.

i only like this on sundays xp

(except when it's because hangover prevents me from sleeping more than 5-6 hours as is usually the case on most weekends)

i feel superior to everyone whatever time i get up. *shrugs*

you can feel superiorly inferior to yourself
i wld go so crazy so fast, may2005-july2007 rip

the only time i've experienced this is coming back from tour a couple summers ago. i couldn't stay up past 9:30 and i was up at 5:30 every morning. it was kinda awesome...i would go on runs, walk to get coffee, make a decent breakfast, and still get to work super early. looking forward to the same this summer.

I met this couple in New York who'd get up at 5am every day and cycle really fast round Central Park for an hour or so, then go home, have breakfast and go into work.

the cuttys?

it would take sooooooo much more than waking up really early to make me feel superior to everyone. at best it would make me feel superior to the me of the previous day. which doesn't take much anyway.

as for that cycling couple mentioned by Matt - while i'm sure they are in many ways delightful people - they can really really really eat a bag of dicks.
