Do you feel guilty if you have a lie in??

I don’t feel guilty as I’m not a morning person and never have been, even after a good night’s sleep.
Also my life in the theatre got me into the habit of late nights and morning recoveries.

No guilt here. I get up when I feel like getting up, usually between 8 and 9, unless I have somewhere to be at an earlier time.
I’m known to be grumpy if I’m forced to get up too early.

I only set the alarm if I or OH have somewhere to be , otherwise I get up around 9 or 10 am, during my working life I had to be up around 6 am ,so now that I'm in my 80's I certainly don't feel guilty when I have a lie in...so enjoy your lie in Travelsafar...ditch the guilt..

I love a lie in, especially in the cold winter months and never feel guilty.

No guilt here - I lie in till I feel ready to come down - and that could be anytime from 9.30am - 10.30

Snap. No guilt. If I have something I want or need to do I'll set my alarm, or sometimes get up early becuase the night was disturbed and I'd like to sit and listen to a dawn chorus

One of the treats of being retired, and not having atm caring responsibilities, which of course makes things very difficult for some on GN to have a decent sleep:

Is to stay up late listening to some music or finishing a film or maybe getting a wash ready to put out when I get up. Atm I need a slow start to the day and am glad to be fortunate enough to do it.

If I sleep late I am delighted. I wake several times in the night, and sometimes need to catch up. As others have said, I had an early start on weekdays for years, so why would I feel guilty now that I don't have to get up? Apart from anything else, who would know and why would they care?

Absolutely no guilt at all.
This morning I didn’t wake up ( for the second time) until 11am.
The first time was 4ish and then I didn’t go back until probably 8 after having my Actimel and a cup of tea.
I am less than a month from being 89 and my time is mostly my own, it is very liberating.

I wake up at 7 every morning, make a cup of tea and bring it back to bed. When I hear DH getting up I go for my shower. It is all very leisurely.

No guilt here - I lie in till I feel ready to come down - and that could be anytime from 9.30am - 10.30

I don't get up until nearly 8 am, my alarm goes off at 7.50.
But I definitely feel guilty if I don't get up immediately, so never lie in. I aim every day to be drinking a cup of tea by 8.

I never have a lie in. Never ever did

I never feel guilty!

Wake up around 5ish for our dog, but then go back to bed with my Kindle.
If I fall asleep again, why not?
The alarm is set for 7.45. That’s a lie in from my 6am working life. Don’t feel guilty travelsafar, just enjoy.

Nowadays I have a lie in any time I feel like it. I don’t sleep well, so it’s not unknown for me to be tossing and turning for much of the night, but then to go into a deep sleep at 5 or 6, and wake at 9 or even later.
I never feel remotely guilty about it.

Ooh no never, I never lie in and don`t want to, I love my days and am always ready for whatever. I rise early and go to bed early, love my bed but love the prospect of another day too

My sleep pattern is not the norm. I suffer with insomnia. So I might be awake until 5 or 6 in the morning. I then go to bed, hopefully to sleep. So lie ins for me don't exist. I sleep when I want/ can. In fact I'm probably going up soon for a nap

Surely though, unless you have to be up for an appointment etc., why on earth wouldn't you lie in!

Yes I would feel not so much guilty as slothful if not up by 7.30 or so. Usu around 6.30 at this time of year later in winter.

I can't lie in for long once I'm awake but try to stay in bed till around 6am. We have two dogs and they will expect their breakfast once we're up and I draw the line at feeding them at 5 lol. I've been used getting up at 6 for years now and think that half the day is gone if I lie in any longer!

Sunday morning treat is to take my latte and iPad/kindle back upstairs lay on the bed scrolling and reading.

Not guilty at all 🤷‍♀️

I don't feel guilty, as such, but I can't appreciate a few more hours because my mind automatically races through the housework and shopping lists.

And it won't stop. So that's the end of that.

No rest for the wicked or others........

Don’t feel guilty.
Now that we are both retired we go to bed and get up at whatever time feels right. The days of watching the clock are thankfully over 😊
Enjoy your relaxing time, I’m sure you have earned it.

Nobody should feel guilty about a lie in if you haven't got much to do.
I can't lie and am always awake at 5am. I do some exercises and read my book and get up after that usually about 6.30.

No! and why? I had to get up at silly o'clock when working to facilitate what was sometimes an onerous commute. Then family life and fitting in some work around that. I don't sleep that well, generally having coffee brought by o/h around 7. Then the scrolling begins for both of us and why not. During the day, we're doing something reasonably productive. There needs to be a reason behind guilt, other than getting up early from it being hard wired through previous routines maybe? Lying in late wouldn't constitute a wrong, so no guilt!

I'm having to shift myself today though we have guests for a couple of days.

Usually up between 6 am and 6.30 am. But today, on holiday, didn’t wake till 7.45 am! Never have a deliberate lie in (too much pain) but slightly envy those who can …

Last night I went to bed early and woke twice in the night. Eventually I got back to sleep and woke at 8.10. I don’t feel guilty. I needed the sleep. Now if I was still in bed at 10am I would feel guilty, but it is nobody else’s business, unless I have made an arrangement and am letting someone down by being late.
