In bed by 8, asleep by 8:30. Consistently waking up at 4:45 and having a busy day (teacher) leaves me ready to go to sleep easily by 8. I am not one of those people that can get by on 5-6 hours of sleep a night. |

I WFH, so mine isn't typical. I used to take at least 45 mins getting ready and now I take maybe 30 but usually like 15 mins.
7:50 alarm goes off & I get up to pee & brush my teeth 8:00 sign on Teams and post a morning message for my team. i also turn on caffeine and go back to bed to relax. 8-9:30 relax in bed catching up on emails and taking care of easy things. then scrolling through social media for way too long. 9:30 breakfast 10-12 work 12:00 eat a quick lunch at my desk 1:00 tell my team i'm taking my lunch hour. actually go the gym 2:00 tell my team i'm back from lunch but actually am probably grabbing a coffee and then showering 3-4:30 work 4:30 start dinner prep |

What kind of msg do you post to your team at 8am?? I personally don't want to hear from my boss in the morning, could be an outlier... |

Wake up at 6:00am, use the bathroom, wash my face, put on moisturizer/serum, brush teeth, change and go downstairs.
Put a kettle on for tea, pack lunches for my middle schoolers, make breakfast for kids, usually omelette, French toast, scrambled eggs, oatmeal etc with cut up fruit. No cereal or bars. Step out the door to drop off kids at 7:05, back by 7:30. Have breakfast, read news, make DH breakfast, feed the dog. Sit down for work by 8:30. I shower and exercise at night/evening. I WFH 4 days, on the days I go into work, same routine except I get dressed by 9:00 and I am at work by 9:25. |

Early days:
Wake at 6-6:15, get coffee, check email, pack kid's lunch (a teen, so throw some snacks and fruit into a bag, really). Might make DS some breakfast but he usually makes his own early as he has no trouble waking and likes to cook. In the shower getting ready by 6:40. 6:25 if washing and drying hair (this is why the wake-up time ranges). Shower, lotion, makeup (bb cream, concealer, blush, mascara, lip, brows), hair (straight, easy), dress (jeans and blazer or black pants and sweater or something). Make sure work bag is packed, see if kid needs anything (water bottles filled for sports, forms signed), fill my Yeti with coffee, grab some breakfast to go (or eat something quick if I want to and have time but usually just pack fruit and a carb and nuts). Our the door by 7:25 to drop kid at school and head to work. In my office by 8:20. Later Days: I wake up at 6:45 and brush teeth, brush hair, and throw on some workout clothes. I can drink coffee more slowly, might make teen DS more breakfast if he hasn't eaten already or wants more food, feed the cats if they haven't been fed. Jump in the car and take DS to school at 7:25. Take a 30-60 minute walk. If I'm heading in to work I'll shower right away and get on the road by 9:30. If I'm working from home I'll wash my face and throw on some blush and mascara and lipgloss and a sweater blazer and earrings and jump on a meeting. Maybe I'll run an errand if I don't have a meeting until later. Shower whenever. I don't like to eat until about noon but I'll have 2-3 cups of coffee and seltzer. |

| Alarm goes off at 6 AM. I either hit snooze or I masturbate. I get up at like 6:15 either way and take a shower. I make lunches for the day, wake my kid up, and we're both out the door by 7:15. |
