POLL
I am reading "Shopping for Time" and have become convicted on my sleeping habits. I will be posting more about this later, but wanted to put a poll on my blog just out of curiosity sake . . . . what time do you wake up each morning? Please play along and vote on the left side of my blog. Thanks!

Brandi,
I voted for between 5 and 6 but this is only for the past week after I also read "Shopping for Time" and was again convicted of getting up earlier. She writes "Is your husband or children having to wake you up to meet their needs?" and I was definitely convicted about that! Before this past week, it was between 6 and 7. Of course you have to remember that I have little ones and they tend to rise early!
I voted 5-6 AM...that is my "perfect" time. My daily schedule calls for me to go to bed at 9 and get up at 5 (weekdays only). I began getting up at 5 when re-reading some posts on GirlTalk Blog. I just read "shopping for Time" but have NOT been getting up at 5 or near the time I should while on vacation or since I have been home. A little after 6...best day so far! But I pray Mon. will find me back at 5 AM doing quiet time! :) And I must echo what Joy (and Mahaney ladies) say "waking me to have needs met"...for this I then go to guilt and condemnation for being selfish and staying up too late!
I am also trying to get back to getting up around 5 or 5:30. With Rob being gone working on the remodel so late, I have slipped in to staying up way too late. I tried to go to bed at 9 last night and I couldn't sleep. I guess I will have to work back gradually. I REALLY want to get up early for a good quiet time. I really liked it when I did that before.
I am excited that you are reading good books (like you mentioned in an earlier post), and am looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks for this encouragment to work on my bedtime/rise time.
Love,Cassie
I voted 6 to 7. My alarm goes off at 6 and usually I get right up..... but there are days when its more like 6:30. :) This wasn't happening for me until I read Shopping For Time. Its such a great book isn't it?!
I'm like Cassie, if Andy is out late or out of town, it is soooooo tempting for me to stay up way too late! Blessings to you and your family. :)
I usually wake up around 7 a.m., so I didn't know which one to choose...I chose the third one, since I haven't been up before 7 in a long time. But I have been up after 7.
Hey Brandi. Good topic. It's easy to waste SO much time sleeping. I am trying to discipline myself to get up after 7-8 hours. I work until 11:30 p.m. and have a hard time going right to sleep when I get home, but I really need to in order to spend any time with my family the next day before I go to work again. It's just disciplining yourself regardless of your schedule.
I am curious what the book says about waking up. I voted 7-8 because my kids wake up at 7-7:30. I am trying to imagine waking up before them and what would be a good reason to!
