Are you an early riser?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wROodqZT0qk

Scientists in Britain have found that the average English person sleeps for seven hours and 21 minutes a night before they begin work at 8.50am. However the Germans – famous for RISING early get up before DAYBREAK to make sure their towels firmly secure their sun beds for a day LOUNGING by the pool -
get an average eight minutes less sleep a day and start work 30 minutes earlier than the rest of us.Apparently Germans get up 15 minutes after their alarm clocks ring compared to British people who LAZE under their DUVET for more than 20 minutes.

This could CONCLUDE why Germans out perform most other European countries and why they DIVE for the sun lounger before any other European in the hotel WAKES up.

What time do YOU get up?!
