Seriously, why do people get up so early? O.o Is it because you guys have school early?

Typical day of mine...
7:30 Wake up
7:40 Finish cleaning up, and get dressed, brush teeth etc
8 Finish eating breakfast
8:30-4 Come home from school
4:30 Finish eating, changing, laying it all out
6 Finish TV time
6:30 Finish getting ready and helping out with dinner
7:30 Finish dinner
8 Finish lying down
9:30 Finish MSN, Facebook
9:30-? finish homework, and I always get homework done.
?(+) Bathe (if I feel like it)
?+(+) Sleep

I have mini exercise sessions right before I bathe.

7:00 Eat a little bit/2 cups of water
7:10 Weights
7:50-8 Clean up, get changed, grab breakfast, rush for school
8:00-8:50 Revision/reading ahead/eating breakfast on the bus
8:50-9:00 Fudge around in the halls until class

4:45-5:30 Check e-mail/FB, start homework
5:30-6:15 Dinner
6:15-8:00 Homework/reading ahead/revision
8:00-8:10 Shower
8:10-11:30 Trying to revise, but usually braindead at this point and very unproductive, until I end up becoming very distracted, then sleep.

Repeat and rinse with cold water.

I just like to get up early because I hate rushing in the morning. And I go running every other morning, so I get up early to fit running into my routine. You see, before I started IB, I used to get up just 20 minutes before I'd leave  the house. There'd always be times when I overslept and missed the  bus or had to skip breakfast because I didn't have enough time.

Getting up early is great! It means that I can take my time to properly clean/groom myself, have breakfast without wolfing everything down, and just generally relax before heading to school and using up all my brain power in lessons. Besides, having some spare time in the morning means that I can use it to study or to save my sorry bottom if anything unexpected comes up, like a forgotten piece of homework

Reading this article might inspire you to get up early: http://zenhabits.net...d-how-to-do-it/ It might take some willpower and self-discipline at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes natural to you! I used to dread the mornings but now I really like them. (Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to brainwash you! Haha )


And @ sarahlouise and Expired Manwich of Doom: Yay, other people who exercises in the morning!

okay heres my schedule at the moment, the one in IB1 was way more hectic because of sports and extra curricular activities

5.30 -> Wake up
5.30 - 6.00 -> meditate or yoga
6.00 - 6.30 -> get ready for school
6.35 -> drive to school while somehow eating breakfast while driving
7.00 - 7.15 -> arrive at school, and sit in car blasting music and having pre-craziness in my car with friends.
7.15 - 1.30 -> school
1.30 - 2.00 -> go for slushies (in summer) with friends or in winter for coffee
2.30 -> arrive home
2.30 - 3.00 -> grab a bit to eat, stare at tv not caring whats coming on, pass out on couch.
3.15 - 5.00 -> gym
5.oo - 6.00 -> shower, eat dinner.
6.00 - 10.00 -> homework/revision (with A LOT of procrastination)
10.00 -> Sleep

Yay! I love exercising in the morning. While I excercise once or twice a week in the afternoon as well, for school sport, I way prefer it in the morning. I couldn't be bothered doing it all in the afternoons after a long day at school!

Ugh, I can't believe I left that typo there. I guess it's too late to change it now

YES! I feel sharper and more alert if I've been running in the morning. I'm even convinced to say that my morning runs help me study better for the rest of the day. I used to go running before dinner, and I'm so glad I switched to running in the morning. The quiet, early mornings and their beautiful, clear skies are the best... Exercising is such a great way to start a new day. (Bleh, I'm going terribly off-topic and I sound like a commercial now... Just goes to show how much I like my morning exercise, hah!)

Studies have actually suggested that as one of the benefits of doing exercise in the morning
The only problem I have from running in the morning is the morning dew on the grass that makes it really soggy and muddy for my shoes

Also it means one has the whole afternoon to do homework! So much time! It's wonderful.

[Trololol Marf]

Don't get me wrong, I like exercising too, but in the morning I just don't feel like doing anything. I feel so wiped out and weak... like I can't even clench a fist without really REALLY trying. I just can't, everything is unstretched and tired...

I can never force myself to exercise before school (although I'm joining cross-country this year) because I'm one of those kids that sweat really, really easily, and there won't be enough time to take a shower before school...

That's why I exercise right before taking a shower, after school hours.

Hmm you guys all seem to follow a trend, mabbe I should stick waking up earlier. I used to go to school really early, but then I figured screw that, since there is absolutely nothing to do before classes. I'm deciding to arrive well before classes, but not too early, as public transit is quite hectic where I live.

[jenene]

i eat some great  german food and then i check my facebook. Then I continue over to my studyroom or whatever and do the most urgent homework. After that I sometimes go to the gym to get some blood flowing. Then its usually like six or seven p.m.  After that I either watch TV or study (depending if I have more homework or if its some good show/documentary that might help me in school). Then on the weekends I hang with friends and do some more homework/reading. thats it i guess hope it helps in some way. Greetings

[PhatM.]

Reading all of your positive experiences with running in the morning has inspired me to do the same!
Last year, i used to go jogging after I came home from school, but I found it very inefficient: I would be very tired, and before I knew it it got dark and there was little time to study!
Therefore, this year I will start a new habit of running before school because of its many benefits!

By the way, I'm a highly competitive soccer (football) player and I knew to get in shape!

[bigbangfan]

6,45 Wake up (though I hit snooze buttom at 7,00)
7,30 Drive to college
8,00 Arrive to college
8,00 - 2,00 College clasess
2,30 Arrive home, have lunch watching TV!
3,00 - 4,30 Nap time!
4,30 - 5,00 Although I am awake, I just stare at a fixed point, wondering what to do next.
5,00 - 6,00 Homework/Procrastination
6,00 - 7,30 TV!
7,30 Dinnertime
8,30 - 10,30 Homework/TV/Facebook/Procrastination.
11,00 Go to sleep.

I know! Don´t say it! I´m a lazy bugger by nature. After two intense IB years, I believe I deserve this kind of life. Don´t I?
