Hendrix's rifle Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've always been curious why I want to stay in bed as long as I can when I've got to get up for work yet if it's something I want to do I jump up at the first alarm? Last night said to the Mrs do you want to get up early, get breakfast and take the camera to see if we can find any reds roaring. Sure enough, 5:20am I was up. I won't be like that tomorrow!! Anyone else the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yes always the same. Drag myself out of bed at 5 to get ready for work, it's a chore. Saturday morning, jump out of bed with great enthusiasm at 3am to go wildfowling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Use to be last minute when I was young and unattached. After 1st child and 6.00 feed everything changed. So now it is usually 5.30 and so not a problem if I want to do 4.00 start for the woods in the summer. As usual the old sayings apply. Don't burn the candle a both ends and Early to bed, early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else the same? I can't remember the last time that I stayed in bed until 5.20 am, my work alarm goes off at 4.30 am but I've normally already been up for 30 minutes or so by the time it goes off , my weekend alarm is 3.30 am as I have to travel for my shooting.

Aled Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yep dawn fishing/shooting trips out of bed like a shot, work, plus school run etc...never quite as easy! Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I would say that's perfectly normal, big difference getting up because you want to and have to. Did you see anything good is the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix's rifle Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I would say that's perfectly normal, big difference getting up because you want to and have to. Did you see anything good is the question? Saw a nice cull stag who was holding 4 hinds, good sized beast with a **** head. Not sure why though. Got a picture of him albeit slightly blurry. Was around 30 yards away from this group. Heard a couple in the valleys and saw a cracker that I couldn't snap in time, 14 points or so, very lean animal covered in mud. He was around 60 yards or so. Few birds of prey that shortly after light got mobbed by crows, in short, I'm happy I got up. Not quite as happy asking her up though as she was in a foul mood til I got her breakfast :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Alarm in the week goes off at 6.40 but I'm always awake earlier. If I've planned a shoot, then I sleep really badly, the anticipation, then nearly always I'm up and off before I planned to be, then suffer for days afterwards, but still wake early. Not good at sleeping in, though the missus is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thing is ive never had a alarm clock if i need to get up i say to myself 3 times wake up at 6am as im laying in bed i do ive only been late twice in 20 odd years think a lot of it has to do with the excitement i still get from being out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Very early mornings are without doubt the best time of day to be about, especially when it's light and there's no one else about. When I'm doing artwork I resent staying in bed and am itching to 'get on' with not a little amount of enthusiasm. Subbing to a mundane job it's often a struggle to get out of bed.

ips Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I wake at 6am have a brew in bed, dog jumps on and we all have another nap till about 7-30. I usually comment to the Mrs that I could happily have another brew ad lie in bed until 9. Weekends when I could do that I am usually happy to get up at 6 or 7 I love early mornings in summer not so keen in winter unless I am shooting or beating 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
