On early workout days, we (my wife and I) get up at 4:45am.
On late workout days, it's 5:15am.
On weekends, we sleep in between 6-7:00am.
We've both always been early risers. Even when we were in college and staying up partying with friends until nearly dawn, she and I would be up early and walking while everyone else slept in until noon or later.
When I have too much going on at work, I often wake up much earlier (as early as 2:30am) and start working. I actually do some of my best problem solving and "flow" state work that early. It just sucks to then need to go do a full day at the workplace after that. Otherwise, I love the feeling of being up when no one else is and getting a head start on the competition. [Reply]
Whenever I please really. Generally around 8 or 8:30 but I don’t typically use an alarm. I work for myself so I make sure to not have any clients before 10:30. [Reply]
Friday’s and Saturday’s I get up at 5:07 for work at 6. Sunday’s I get up around 8-830. The rest of the week I get up at 7:17 for my part time job and to take my girls to school. [Reply]

Jesus, man. You're like my exact opposite.
You've probably got your life way more together than I do, though. :-) [Reply]
When I was working I got up at 5:30 every morning to get to work at 7:00
I retired last January, and after an adjustment period, I now get up whenever the sun shines through my east-facing bedroom windows. I can't sleep any longer than that. [Reply]
I have never been a natural early riser and I absolutely despise the hour I lose for DST. I get up about 30 minutes before I have to be at work which is 8 or 9 a.m. If I'm not working I'll sleep til I wake up which is usually 9 or later, if we're both home we may get up around 9 or 10, jump in the shower, "workout" and sleep another couple of hours. Naps are also likely to happen whenever they come along. [Reply]

Move to the west bedroom or black out your windows, although early risers never get to be as sloth-like as true late sleepers. [Reply]
