Do you set an alarm on your off days?

Let’s say Saturday morning, you have nothing going on. Do you set your alarm late, just to make sure you don’t sleep 1/2 the morning away?

Haven't used an alarm since 1998 - set a habit of early to bed, early to rise - works everytime…

Same boat. I haven’t set an alarm other than pre-dawn for fishing since my second was born 4 years ago.

Young kids don’t allow sleeping in.

Same. I'm incapable of sleeping in, but even if I did, I think it would throw off my routine for the week. I'm generally productive in the morning on the weekend, but siesta the afternoon away.

The only time I use an alarm is if I’m going fishing or hunting.

Other than that I’m an adult and my body is used to waking up before 6am. If I choose to sleep longer I will, however if I’m not out of bed by 0730-0745 my day is shite.

I'm a dad, but I hope I'm never this much of a "dad"

The kind that wakes up before everyone else on vacation

I don't have one. It's odd to me when I go to gated neighborhoods and people have alarms on and doors locked.
I rarely lock up.

You can’t say you’ve been drinking all day if you don’t start first thing in the morning.

I’m basically talking about weekdays.

Weekends it just depends on what I have going on and what time I go to bed.

I’m not opposed to sleeping till 0900-1000 on the weekends. But I’ll feel like shite when I do.

I don’t need an alarm during the week I just naturally wake up around 5:30.

As a result, I wake up no later than 6 on the weekends. I’d much rather get up and get the day started. Day drinking and asleep at a reasonable time on Friday and Saturday night too.

It’s hell getting old and having responsibilities.

Count the Saturday’s you have left before you die and then figure out how late you want to sleep. Best day of the week... get as much as you can!

Yes, depending on what time I get home in the morning. If I get home before sunrise i'll set it around 10 or 11. After sunrise, probably noon or 1.

I like partying Friday night more than Saturday night

Yea, usually 8 AM.

Scruffy doesn’t like wasting days off.
