Inspired by the other thread of how long does it take you to office, Anyone of you here belongs to the 5 a.m. club (or earlier)?

I had been waking up at 5 every morning since last week, it had been great. I had so much extra time to prepare myself to work. I also manage to read as there are no distractions from group chats, emails.

However, I feel very tired at night and go to bed by 11pm, Used to be 1am
On the other hand, I won't waste time on dramas and reddit at night anymore

Hopefully I can continue with this habit.

What do you do if you have the habit of waking up earlier?

take a short nap during lunch or after office hours if want to stay up late.

Am in 6 o'clock club.

Try to have light sleep before lunch, u'll be refresh

Just wake up. I'm on 5.20am club. Even weekend also wake up early. Once you get used to it, you will wake up just before alarm clock and probably you won't need it anymore.

Well I set my alarm on 6.45am, 7am, 7.15am. I have no trouble of stuck in jam while travel to work, that's why I do not need to wake up this early. Usually sleep at 11.30pm - 12am. But still don't think I have enough sleep. Gets tired after lunch.

try taking a power nap i.e about 30 mins to an hour during lunch time .. it will get you through the 2nd half of the day !
Works wonder for me

Haha, I usually will hit the gym during my lunch time and grab a quick bite after that. Looks like i need longer lunch hours

wow, what makes you to wake up so early everyday? what do you do after you wake up? what time you depart to work?

This is so me! Before this 5oClock routine that is..
But I usually will hit the gym during lunch time, so I dont get so tired after lunch. Oh, I also have light lunch only, heavy lunch just makes me sleepy.

Just curious, where do you sleep during lunch time? On work workdesk?

Just check weather forecast (like similar every day ), drink water, take shower ...etc etc .. no need to rush. Leave to work at 6.20 ~ 6.30am drive slowly. Stop by place to buy breakfast ...bla bla ... Going back time sharp and drive at 110km/j

Weekend, watch news on TV.... Well just need to wake up and do something for a while even if you fell asleep in front of TV, it does not matter. This will make you wake up alert on work day, actually.

Sunnah - take a nap before zohor (noon period) to be fresh for the rest of the day

My lunch time only 1 hour. 30 minutes, then not enough time for me to go out to grab lunch liao.

Honestly speaking, how to define light lunch? And my portion is quite large, so is abit hard for me to cut down to light lunch. I'll starve to death.

Hmmm. Will productivity actually improve if you wake up at this time.

Good advice! I only turn on my alarm during weekdays, now i think I need to wake up at 5am also on the weekends, thanks bro for the advice!

I usually eat bread (subway or any bread from 7/11) or nasi lemak bungkus for lunch. Sometimes I'll just take green apple. Or just pre-prepared hard boiled eggs.

I can't speak for the rest, but over the span of 1 week, i can feel the positive outweigh the negative of waking early

to gain much energy during day...better wakeup at around 5....and take a bath.....

Do u feel tired/ lethargic around 2/3pm, after lunch?

Back then i used to feel tired after lunch, then I stumbled upon an advise to workout and eat less during lunch time, so I followed that advise and never feel tired around 2/3pm since.

However back to the topic, I'm not sure whether did working out helps, but I dont feel tired at all during 2/3pm. But, i feel extremely drained during 10pm.

But, if u eat little during lunch, u no hungry meh? U tired because average ppl need about 6-8 hours of sleep

5am: my morning wood starts to rise. seluk tangan dalam seluar and continue sleep..

Because if will take heavy breakfast, since now i have more time to eat in the morning

But honestly, it took me awhile to get used to eating less during lunch time.

okie, okie.....let me try....I also in similar situation, I mean wake up early (job requirement mar ), then, by 2-3pm, I feel very lethargic oledi....but, I got to agree, I get to accomplished a lot, when everyone is not in office yet. And, when everyone clock in, I am ahead, and I can troubleshoot issues, rather than juggling between my own work with ppl request.

Thank you

5 a.m i already on the road to work, to avoid congestion at singapore custom... every single day...
at first it would be very tiring, even i was going to give up that time..
but after awhile i think now is okay... even without alarm i would wake up on time..

5 am woke up. roll around on my bed with cats.
guess im 6 am club.
Usually when I reach office early, I'll take a quick nap. 20-30 minutes suffice. cause later at night need to work out.

wah envy you guys .. unfortunately can never be a morning person... although tried so many times.. alarm clock.. activities .. even a hot date for breakfast.. didnt work... end up snoozing..

always wake up around 7.30 to 7.45 and the rush and manic starts .... Stress..

High five! Work up at 5.50am, give breakfast to bunny then off to work at 6.30. lunch 12-1,tea 3-4. 4.50pm straight to home.

If you work close to your living place, then is fine. Else you've been late for your work almost everyday?

So nice that you can off work at 4.50pm. My new working environment, people don't leave sharp at 5.30pm. Make me stress as well when time is up.

I tot this club is about going back 5pm mana tau go to work 5 am lol

Btw I am 5 pm o clock club

Yup, my work never ends but I prioritise it well. And also nobody dare to complaint because I come super early

Yes I'm in the 7am ++ club.
Very hard for me to wake up before the sun rise.

yeah... i will clear my workspace & then i would bring a cushion from home and just rest my head on the cushion on the desk ...
find a most comfortable position for yourself though !

Yup, same here. I wake up at 5:30 every morning nowadays, since waking up earlier is useless (LRT opens up at 6:00am).

Very nice having an extra time to slowly kemas2 yourself and everything, and can read sumore in LRT (40minute commute time).

Haha, negotiate with your boss, come early go back early =P

used to be a 3am person, now 4am. perhaps can find some kakis for early morning jogs around here? usually jogs alone @ Sri hartamas

Why so early? You work on shifts?

where around hartamas dude...

Near plaza damas.. Nah just used to early morning - am a morning person, sleeps ard 10-ish

Now 2025 you still do this or live in sg?
