I consider even 9:00 (I often say “nine proper” and refer to anything after noon as “twenty one” or similar) as early, since I am used to staying awake until 1:00 and sometimes even at the computer reading obsessive interests as late as 2:00 and on a few occasions 3:00 (“three proper” - I do joke about this when I know “three o‘clock” refers to 15:00).
3:00 AM. I try and stay a sleep until 5:00, but my pain usually wakes me up anywhere between 3:00 and 4:30, which is too early. My medical condition specifies that I get at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep a day, but when the pain keeps waking me up it's hard to accomplish that. I don't mind, as long as I'm still breathing I'm happy.
On weekends, before noon
