Society is geared against late sleepers on many fundamental levels. Daycares and schools typically start early and let out early. If you have two working parents they can split the dropoff/pickup only if both have early schedules, or can still do productive work at home, with a small child around. Not even the kids want to wake up at 6:30.
- bryanlarsen 11y ago"Not even the kids want to wake up at 6:30." Not my experience, and a standard complaint when commiserating with other parents is how early their kids wake up on the weekends. My 6 year old reliably wakes up about 15 minutes earlier on the weekend than she does on weekdays.
- flatline 11y agoYep, weekends are crack of dawn, weekdays are dragging them out of bed kicking and screaming at 7:20. Occasionally we let them sleep in on a weekday and they'll sleep until anywhere from 7:30-9:00.
- madaxe_again 11y agoI'm 32 and I still do this. It's because you want to get up and enjoy your free time, whereas in the week it's up, shower, dress, rain, work.
- tonyedgecombe 11y agoDon't worry, it won't be long before you are dragging their smelly teenage bodies out of bed ready for school.
- splintercell 11y agoI don't think I ever remember waking up early as a kid. If my parents didn't wake me up, I would not get out of bed.
- totalrobe 11y agoDoes nobody here remember early Saturday morning cartoons?! Transformers, Thundercats, Spiderman...before parents got up and the chores started..
- undersuit 11y agoI would always get up early on Saturday for cartoons, infact I only started sleeping in because I was no longer interested in the new shows. That was somewhere around 1999 because I remember hating the new Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon.
- mjevans 11y agoI remember waking up stupidly early (around 6am) for re-runs of Mr. Wizard, then going back to sleep after that ended.
