Poll question: What gets you out of bed in the morning?

What motivates you at the start of every day?

You may infer an "other" option by posting it.

1. Coffee

Why else would anyone get up? ;)

[Arkansas Granny]

16. In my case, it's to turn off the C & W station that I have my radio tuned to.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. hot tea - usually this one

[XemaSab]

3. The internet

:D

[Kali]

14. ...

:spray: :rofl: :patriot:

[Maine-ah]

4. a three year old.

[mikeytherat]

5. The Bed Mouse Patrol

Ever vigilant, especially just before mealtime, protecting the bed from the wily and elusive Bed Mice (my feet under the covers).

15. LOL. Kitties! nt

[charlie and algernon]

6. my cat

I'm afraid she'll lick my skin completely off if I don't get up in time to feed her.

[Gormy Cuss]

29. Ditto,

although my cat would just meow/whine louder and louder before really acting out if I don't feed him, spoiled rotten feline that he is.

[charlie and algernon]

39. mine purrs loudly while licking my forehead or hand, whichever is closer

It sucks, I moved last week and it's apparently messed up the cat's sleep cycle. Before I would actually wake up before her. Now, even though MY schedule hasn't changed, she's up and roaming earlier. She hasn't quite gotten used to the new surroundings, I don't think.

[El Supremo]

7. My irritable bowel syndrome.

[ceile]

8. 3 cats and a dog

All wanting food and to go outside....

[Arugula Latte]

9. Hungry and persistent kitties

[edbermac]

10. My Bose

[Yavin4]

11. Will Be 50 in 4 Years and Scared Shitless

That's what gets me up. Once you're 50, you're in the prime layoff years, and it's a mad scramble to retirement.

[Kali]

12. touch of daylight + screeching macaw + cat+ bladder

and then the need for caffeine fix

[The Midway Rebel]

13. If you voted for number 2 or number 8....

You are my kinda' people...PM me.

:P

'jes kiddin'

no really...



;-)

[meow2u3]

17. Two things: my cats

I have to feed them in the morning; otherwise, I'd sleep till noon.

[kedrys]

18. The cat horde

They work shifts, it's frightening. :rofl:

[hippywife]

19. My bladder.

[rurallib]

24. just don't hold what it used to doi it?

[Roon]

20. My breakfast bowl. eom

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Cats.

[joeybee12]

37. Yup...4 of them...they take turns announcing the dawn of a new day for me...n/t

[ccharles000]

22. monotony

[kwassa]

23. A heart attack

cardiac rehab means I have to work out, and the only time I can do it is 6 am,

before my three-year old wakes up!

So, I either run or hit the weights.

[hobbit709]

25. Hydraulic pressure.

What keeps me up after that is Jamaica Blue Mountain.

[pitohui]

26. pretty sure it's nuclear explosions

altho sometimes a conventional grenade will get me out of the sack, not always mind, but sometimes it will work...

in case you haven't figured it out, NOTHING gets me out of bed in the morning, i'm a strict "crack of noon" type person

these days if i get up by 1 PM i congrat myself and call it a beneficial side effect of jet lag

[handmade34]

27. my new old lady bike and a 12 mile trail

:-)

[david13]

28. The cats. They wake me up. And insist I get up. And they don't

take no for an answer.

[Joe Fields]

30. a mouse running up my leg every morning, oddly at the same time.

[Deep13]

31. .

:kick:

[femmocrat]

32. Three dogs who know when it is time to go out!

Even if it is still dark! :groan:

[Rowdyboy]

33. The freakin' US Census Bureau....my partner works for them (at least until 8/27)

and I get up to make his breakfast and lunch. Damn I'll be glad when 8/27 rolls around and he's once again "retired"!

[proteus_lives]

34. The need to take a piss.

[LibertyLover]

35. None of those -

Either it's the greyhound bitch barking to go out, or the whippet clawing me to get up so he can jump in bed and snuggle in the nice warm spot I've just vacated by sitting up, or the 8 year old asking what she can have for breakfast or the husband complaining that he's got something to do that requires my help and I should have known about it because he's been thinking really, really hard about it for the last 10 or so minutes. But to be honest usually it's knowing that I am the sole bread winner for the family and if I don't get up and go to work we don't eat.

[Seedersandleechers]

36. Two cats

Who like to eat at 5:30 am every morning!

[Lilith Velkor]

38. Gotta pee.

[MilesColtrane]

40. I figure those wrong notes aren't going to play themselves.

So I get up yet again.

[old mark]

41. At my age? I have to pee. Gets me up several times a night, too....nt
