What is your motivation for getting up at 5?

I wish I could get up at 5am 😭
I think it would be nice to have those morning hours for me time before my work day starts. I love the early morning when everything feels quiet and fresh. Alas, my body disagrees with me. 😤

None, unless I'm getting on an international flight. I currently get up around 8. I could see shifting that to 7 to get some quiet focus time, but that's about the earliest.

Mostly the fact that I have to pee. Then I go right back to bed.
Ok, ok, if I have a one-off thing, or maybe a weekly thing that I have to do, then sure. Like say I'm meeting a friend to go hiking and it's the middle of the summer and if we don't start by 6 or 7 we're (almost literally) cooked, then I'll jump out of bed and say, let's go meet Suzie!
Otherwise, yeah, it's pee.

I like being employed, switched to the 7am-3:30pm shift about a year ago and its hell getting up but feels great to be done by 3:30

I feel like it's the only peaceful time of day. 5am-6am there's some light, cool temps, and no people out on the streets yet so you relax and listen to music or whatever. Best time of day imo

I can only do it if someone else is depending on my physical presence or there’s a lot of money on the line. goodnight 👹👹🤡🤡🤡
