Members of the Everybody Gets a Medal Generation (born 1986-present): what time do you wake up in the morning?

Like all millennials, I wet the bed nearly every night. If I wet early enough, sometimes I'll change the sheets and go back to bed, but more often than not, I just get up for the day once I wake up to the familiar feeling of my own piss streaming through my underpants and cooling in my sheets. Usually happens sometime between 6 and 9am.

Well then TxR... you can't compare your starting late and working until 8pm to someone who starts work earlier in the day than you.

I don't always work this shift. I just do during the winter so I can run in the daylight. I still wake up at the same time and stay up/out as late when I work 8-5. There is nothing prestigious about waking up at 4 in the morning. Been there, done that. Now I wake up when I want, work when I want and stay up as late as I want. If that bothers anyone, that's on you. No amount of judgment will get me out of bed before the sun.

Hey Geezer - don't hate because young bucks can sleep in and still accomplish way more than you do in any given day. It's noble that you get up before dawn in order to cling to your fading productively. No really, I respect that you are attempting to make up in quantity what you lack in quality. Thing is, we pups need our rest because your wife keeps us busy for hours after you nod off during Wheel of Fortune every night.

Oh, and nothing better than a geezer complaining about "Millennials" getting too many trophies. I'm pretty sure that when I played youth soccer in 3rd grade, the kids on the team did not decide what awards were given out after the season. Yep, pretty sure decisions on trophies were handled by adults - now Geezers like yourself. Awesome that your generation gave me team a trophy for our 6-3 record that year and you now complain about it. Great logic there, gramps!

I wake up whenever I wake up. Usually between 7:30 and 8. Sometimes later.

I woke up at 4:30 for six years in the Marine Corps. Nothing good happens that early.

If the cook is making fresh donuts, that's about the only good thing that happens at that hour,

Millennials are usually night-owls: play games, text, troll the lrc forums. They don't understand people who start work early. Rather they the inability to stay up as late as them as a fault with that person, while millennials waking up late is a matter of their personal choice.

7:20

Thou proud, arrogant fool. Do you desire me to tear you to shreds in righteous words of revealing judgment? You scapegoat on an irrelevant distinction, you uncouth viper, instead of being studious and observing the causes of prosperity and iniquity. Ye, you are those who fill the pews and create the demand for hypocrite pastors who utter words of nothing. There is so much work to be done. So many causes of joy and prosperity to protect, 1,000s of matters of injustice and irresponsibility almost completely un tended to. Millions of self serving Christians and citizens of narrow mindedness and prejudice, ignorant and hard of understanding and true instruction. Missing the many matters, missing the many processes, missing the Great process. There are beneficial forms of redundancy and then there is the perpetuating fractal monstrosity of the redundancy of ignorance, un individualism and uncreation, false form and shameless merit less greed. Woe!

Born in the 1950s and I've been working nonstop 24-hour shifts at a medal making company since 1986.

My body just won't wake up before 10 am. I hate 9 AM classes and feel his/her pain!

That's pretty much the vibe I'm getting from millennials. There's nothing they hate more than judgment. Planet Fitness is starting to make sense now.

I wish I could tell you about the highly productive young Americans in my office, but we none. Virtually all recent hires have been from abroad - they're much more skilled than the 20-something Americans we interview. When I read the news, I see lots about is how your generation is failing to get jobs after graduation.

Young people need sleep. It's not laziness and entitlement.
