Getting up early in the morning is 'old fashioned' - why?

  This thread made me realize that I also prefer to wake up late in the morning even though I slept early the last night..😉
  After my school days I hardly remember that I woke early without any urgency of work.
  Now while my college days, I wake early only when my exam is on that day or I've to catch any train..

  This is more of an habit, we procrastinate things all rite, then all these issues happen.
  There are multiple reasons for this to happen, since childhood my dad used to come late and wake up late, I used to stay awake till my dad comes then I wake up late along with him.
  Then joined engineering, waking up late is so cool in engineering and then it became a habit for me.
  I am trying to change my schedule but its very difficult.

  Being late to bed is synonyms with me But I stick to the policy of minimum 6.5 hours of sleep that makes it late
  
  I am not to be blamed 😛
  
  Anyways this is one of the most recent evolution of Industrialization people stay up late and find it really difficult to wake up in the morning

  Taking the discussion forward. Have you even been excited by something so much that it made you wake up early in the morning?

  Wake up: 5:45 AM. Wife wakes up much earlier and goes off for a walk in the layout with friends. Only time I get in the kitchen for my chores: Boiling milk, brewing coffee for the day, inoculating previous day's milk for curds (that is bio technology, by the way), collect all coffee grounds and previous day's kitchen biowaste (for composting) and clean up the substantial mess created. To the compost pit for waste disposal, weeding, watering and pruning for an hour or more if possible. Just enough time for yoga, bit of pranayama and get ready to go off to work.
  Sunday more of the same.
  Old fashioned.
  At 73 who needs a justification for being old fashioned?

  Blame my engineering college for that. Our night actually starts after 2 AM, thats when we start thinking about sleeping and I am maintaining that habit in my post graduation also. Getting up early at 6 or 7 AM seems like a strange thought now. May be we are getting more adapted to night life (as you said hangover doesnt let one wake up early). Whatever is the reason, when I have something important in the morning, I am always ready at the right time, otherwise its always at least 10 AM...😉 And this is the case every single engineering student I have met till now.
  #-Link-Snipped-# i prefer to be awake whole night,watch sunrise and then go to sleep, more awesome...😉

  Me, strange thing happen to me. However late I sleep, I wake up automatically at 6-7 am. However, I just stay in bed, killing time, especially in winter times if you understand what I mean...😘

  When i was doing a project work during a summer vacation, it was required that we all stay in the hostel. During my hostel stay, my room mate and i would watch a couple of movies up to 3 A.M and sometimes even up to 4.
  
  then we would sleep and wake up at 11.30 A.M and have our "brunch".

  I like to awake early in the morning because I get more done during the day than in the night. On weekends I may a little later. I don't think it is old fashioned I just think that university life is different in that way. Im speaking from experience, now that I am finished and working its different. When your priorities change your sleeping habits will.
