What's the weather got to do with getting out of bed? I sleep in a house with walls and a roof to protect me from that stuff.

I had the same thought. I don't get it. Absent extreme situations, such as a hurricane approaching (in which case one should get up and leave the region), the weather has zero bearing on whether I should get up or even whether I feel like getting up. (And yes, I am exposed to the weather daily--I walk to work each day, rain, shine, snow, warm, or 20 below.)

  All the folks in this thread responding like this are confusing. Do you never jog, ride a bike, go for hikes? In general, do you ever spend your Saturday mornings outside? The weather plays a huge role when I'm deciding whether to sleep in or not.

    Sure I go outside for recreation, but I don't get up earlier just to do that. More of, "oh the weather's nice, let's do a bike ride," not "I'm getting up early to do a bike ride."

Sometimes it's nice to get up early and go outside to get a little fresh air before the daily grind.

  That's what the balcony is for.

  I live in Minnesota. We had a warm (7 deg C) day a couple of weeks ago after months of sub-freezing temps, and I was reminded of how good it feels to be outside and not miserable. I actually got to the office, made a cup of coffee, then left the office again just to walk around outside and enjoy the outdoors. Probably sounds crazy to people with shorter winters, but you really don't know what you have until you don't have it.

    I was just reflecting on how much life is easier when you have a mild winter (this year, NYC). Aside from temps, the past 12 months here have been incredibly sunny. The summer and fall were perfect. Thank you El Niño.

It's not about how the weather is affecting you inside, but whether it's worth it to get up and go experience it outside.
