Good Morning Thread?

[anneasquith]

why are people up and posting at 4/5/6 am, do they all suffer from insomnia ? :)

[Maydup]

Up early and getting ready for the day ahead Anne. Simples.

If I'm around at that time it's usually because I've yet to go to bed. (I often don't go to bed until around 6am. Sometimes I simply don't bother at all. Last night I went to bed at 4.45 and got up at 7.30).

Otherwise, as Maydup suggests, some people have work that involves them being up and about early. (Some of Waterboatman's charters, for example, might require him to make an early start).

And the spammers seem to like posting at this time too

[anneasquith]

I know waterboatman gets up early to go to work. but surely not all posters are going to work ?

[Sipowicz]

You don't have to be going to work to get up early. I find the older I get, the less sleep I need.

Some have to be up and out early and i guess some are just not sleeping. I'm usually a little too late in the week (it seems to go up to about 8/8:30), but am up about 6 on my working weekends. It is really nice to know you're not the only person awake at that time on a dark Sunday morning. They are so friendly there, too. Nobody gets ignored or missed out. Great way to start the day.

[anneasquith]

I agree the thread is very gentle and pleasant.

Yes but it's not early morning for them, F-F! I'm usually quick to zap anything that's posted in the early hours from a new member and contains the phrase "please suggest me" but there are other posts that I'm reasonably confident are spam but I feel I have to leave there [just in case they're genuine] until such time as another new member posts a link to an Asian site as an answer! (For example, I'm currently watching this one: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Question1316984.html ).

Recently we've had loads of posts relating to a travel company in Singapore, a florist in Bangalore and goodness knows what else. I'd love to know what they all think they'll achieve by spamming a UK site!

[murraymints]

In the main....Yes !!

[murraymints]

I go to bed earlyish and am awake by 3 or 4 !!

[pixie373]

That's true, sipo, OH gets up at six every morning, working or not, it's just a habit- although occasionally will go back to bed later. Also,people that work irregular hours/ nights often have irregular sleep even after retiring. We aren't all 9-5.

[Psybbo]

I don't often make it but it's lovely if you're having a sleepless night and don't want to make any noise, to look in on a cheery, pleasant thread

they might just be Americans.

>>>they might just be Americans

We don't seem to get many Americans early in the morning but Seekerz is here from Oz quite often.

[boxtops]

Most early morning posters seem to be those who don't sleep much - it's good to have company in the wee small hours.

Stewey is in Canada...

[paddywak]

I can't sleep when the sun comes up.we've tried all sorts of things including the thickest curtains but nothing works,as soon as the sun starts to rise I wake up until by mid summer I'll be up and about around 04.00.Don't know why perhaps it's to do with nearly 40 years of shift work.

[tiggerblue10]

I'm usually up at 6 when working and have a quick look in but very rarely post as I'm trying to get ready for work. Get up around 9 or 10 at the weekends and if I'm on leave. I love my sleep :o)

Some of us have early starts at work during the week
