Writing right when you wake up is the best! This was awesome!

[@vikitoriyaChihuahua]

I wake up at 5 am, but only if I was lucky to go to bed in time. But I do this because I have 3 kids and it’s my the most productive time in a day.

[@vectoralphaSec]

At what time do you go to sleep to wake up at 5am? How many hours of sleep do you get?

[@eve938]

I am an early morning person and lovely winter time too.

[@rikeyjo22]

It would be nice to know how long you sleep to achieve this morning routine!

[@PhDandProductivity]

8 hours from 9:30-5:30!

[@alicjanka100]

Oh how nice to be a PhD students when you don’t have kids. My morning routine as a PhD student: -get kids out of bed -make them breakfast -iron their uniforms while drinking my morning coffee - dress them -do their hairstyles -walk them to school - come back -breathe, make coffee - sit down and open your computer. Time: 9am. Lol

[@FluffyPotatoes3]

Out of interest, what time do you go to sleep? If I was waking up at 5:30am, I’d need to be in beg by 8 to be asleep by 9

[@PhDandProductivity]

I fall asleep on impact so for me it’s in bed at 9:30 asleep at 9:30 and still get a full 8 hours

awesome trick Keira

[@alicjanka100]

I use calm too. I love it when your sip your coffee during the medication 😁, I would spill it all over myself

Hubs gets up at 4:30am and I've discovered it's better for us if we're on basically the same sleep schedule so I get up as well. I definitely go slow to start with coffee and reading 📚

[@PhDandProductivity]

Yep! That’s what I’m discovering as well. This morning it was a nice slow one for me.

[@vectoralphaSec]

But what time do you go to sleep to wake up at 4:30. And how many hours of sleep you get?

[@earlycareeracademic5343]

@vectoralphaAI We go to sleep at 8pm! I know it's early for a lot of people but it works for us.

5:30am sounds brutal, during my PhD I was still up from the night before =/
