I don't like waking up, but once I'm awake I am revved up and ready to go. The wife on the other hand... We've worked it out over the years so I get up first and get out of her way. Otherwise I will annoy the hell out of her trying to talk to her. I guess opposites do attract...

Alarm goes off at 5:15am and I am on the road by 5:50am..Even on the weekends I'm usually up before 6am..Internal clock and all.
As for being a "Morning Person".. At home I am.. Ticks off my wife and daughter to no end
but once I get to work I find myself doing the <_< look to those that come in all happy with their smart ### morning comments..

i am 100% not a morning person.
my alarm goes off at least 3 snoozes before i get up. i run to the shower, get dressed and am out the door in like 20 minutes from rising to in the car. i have kids but besides saying goodbye to them, i barely see them in the morning. my daughter is the same as me. hates getting up. wife handles the morning time, i handle most of the nighttime (she works later hours).
i can stay up late nearly all nights. my ideal timing would be working 10-6, imo.

That's pretty much exactly how my mornings go.

I rarely use an alarm and when I do I never use snooze. To be honest don't understand why people do it.

There's no question that it doesn't accomplish anything other than giving you less time to get ready and out the door. I think for me it's more related to anxiety about my work day rather than laziness. I just lay in bed for a while thinking about how my day will go.

To make my marriage even better, I'm almost deaf in my right ear. If I'm laying on my left side, I tend to not hear my alarm. The wife REALLY enjoys listening to my funky chicken alarm going off...

I've used an alarm less than a handful of times over the past couple years; only when I have to be somewhere before 6. So, a couple days for early work calls and for races.
Don't know what you mean by "start to get ready for work" - is eating breakfast part of that? Is coffee?
Normal routine:
0520 - wake up
0522 - make coffee, start reading or surfing on the net
0530 - drink coffee
0600 - poop
0615 - read more, start breakfast; say good morning to my 12 yo son who wakes himself up with his Dart Vader alarm clock
0645 - wake up 10 yo son (shares a room with my 6 yo son)
0650 - shower
0700 - see 4 yo son get up, tell him to go back to bed
0705 - wake up 6 yo son, make him breakfast
0715 - pack my lunch, "encourage" 6 yo to get dressed, usually race him to see who can get dressed first
0730 - wait with 6 yo son for his ride
0735 - drive to work
0800 - arrive to work

I wake up and walk into my home office and I'm at work. If I go into the office, I'll need an hour for a shower and the commute.
Very much a morning person. I only need 6-7 hours of sleep so I also tend to stay up late as well.

Here is my routine... And I'm a "morning person" once I'm awake...
5:50 - Alarm goes off
5:55 - Wife shoves me and tells me to turn off the stupid chicken alarm because I'm sleeping on my ear that I can hear out of
6:00 - 6:10 - I manage to get out of bed.
6:11 - 6:25 - Shower, brush teeth, put in contacts, get dressed.
6:25 - 6:40 - scarf some food, try to put a lunch together because I always forget to do it the night before, let the dogs out.
7:10ish arrive at work. (supposed to be there at 7:00)

Get up at 5:30am Coffee..workout..eat. Ready to go around 7:30am
If I had my way for a perfect routine it would be up at 8am. Coffee..workout..eat. Ready to go at 10:30am.
I feel way better and have more energy from 11am to 9pm than 6am-4pm.
Weekends without an alarm and if something does not wake me up usually sleep till 8 or 8:30

Alarm goes off at 5:00, I'm out the door by 5:30.

Me too. I'm out of bed and out the door with something to eat in 15 minutes tops. I typically don't dress up for work and don't have to shave every day so that helps.

Get up 5am, meet friend to tun at 5:15am. Run until 6:15am. Back to house to help get kids ready for school etc until 7:30am. Then get ready for work and off I go. Some days I work earlier, like 7am on Fridays, but Monday to Thursday, I always have the hour of running and 30-60 minutes of stuff with kids, etc.

Getting up at 5:30 I am in bed by 10:30 or 11 at the latest. I need at least 7 hours. 9 is my sweet spot for a perfect nights sleep though.

Climb into bed a little after 9pm and read for 30 to 60 minutes.. 7 hours of sleep on average is the reason god invented

sometime between 6:15 and 6:30 - human alarm clock, the first of my wife getting me out of bed once she's done showering and getting dressed, my 5 year old storming in and yelling WAKE UP DADDY IT'S HUNGRY TIME, or my 2 year old coming in saying Dad. Stink. Butt. Either way I get in the shower, my wife deals with the dirty diaper, and turns on shows for them.
6:45 - I'm showered + at least partially dressed, wife leaves for work.
6:52 - the world is over if I do not have breakfast ready for the kids, so I'm working against the clock here. If it's ready? All's well. They quietly retreat back to the living room. If not? ...
7:00 - kids are eating and I'm in the office drinking coffee, half watching the news, half reading twitter
7:22 - kids eat fast, but they leave me alone until their show is over and I have enough caffeine in me to deal with them
7:40 - everyone is dressed, teeth are brushed, beds are made, dishes are done, house is at least somewhat presentable, and we read stories until 7:50 when the sitter gets to the house...that's the goal anyway. Reality? Different story...

Wake up at 4, coffee and silence for 30-40 minutes. I might throw on the TV but it's background noise only. Then, I shower and all that and leave around 5:30 for a 6am arrival. I used to do the snooze/jump out of bed/get ready/leave thing, but that snooze sleep doesn't really have any actual benefit, at least not as much as the 30 minutes of quietly easing into the day does.

I am not a morning person.
I have to get up earlier than I would to help get the kids ready.
When I did not have kids, I would get up and get ready and go to work. I don't understand why you would get up earlier to do...... what? Before you have to get ready and go to work.
I hate mornings.

Pretty much the entire time I was in college I was a bartender and regularly closed down the bar and was home around 4am. And back up for classes at 8am (stupid math classes only offered at 8am). It's pretty much doomed me to now I'm routinely up til 1-2 am, as I just can't seem to get tired before then regardless of how little sleep I had the night before. I've always been the guy who's still going/drinking til late into the night/early morning.
Wife and kids usually go down around 9pm-10. I'll read/watch tv/ go for a run/waste time on the internet etc til about 1, usually finally fall asleep around 1:30-2. I have to be at work for a 7:45 meeting every morning and catch the 7:00 train. I get up around 6:00-6:15. Wife and kids are all usually still asleep. Get ready, make a smoothie, grab my lunch and out the door by 6:45.
I'm pretty sluggish til about 9:30-10 til I really start to wake up, usually drink 3-4 cups of coffee, then I'm fine for the rest of the day. If I have absolutely nothing to do, the latest I can ever sleep in is about 7 am. Even if I'm up til 3 the night before. I think I'm cursed. I really want to sleep more, but I just never can.
