Any early birds out there?

[cucumberzest]

I can tell you that the 3am music SUCKS! Just like the 2pm music. It's like, "Oh no, it's THAT time, again."

 

[Underneath The Stars]

i was when the game was new. it was actually embarrassing when i would wake up and grab the switch first thing after getting myself together lmao.

 

[wanderlust//]

Nope lol. I’d love to head the 5am-7am music but the earliest I’ve heard has been 8am.

 

[Clock]

Before, I usually played at 7am, but as of now, I would just play in the afternoon.

 

[Chris]

I typically play AC around 7-9am.

I wake up early most days, but I tend to wait to play animal crossing until the stores are open. I've played earlier than that before, but my villagers were asleep and I wanted to talk to them. I do tend to play more throughout the day though, I don't really stop after playing for 20-30 minutes!

 

[Gunner]

I've played at every hour now and during the summer when I struggled sleeping I often waited till 5am to play, I'd use that time for fossils/flowers. I'd usually then sleep and play again at around 3PM when I could shop and see villagers before finally playing again around 7pm. That's usually what I call the grind hours where I casually play as I watch tv. Usually finish at around 10pm.

Lately I've began playing much earlier at around 6am-7am (just after I wake up) and finishing an hour or so later. So if anything I never hear the afternoon soundtrack much. In fact the final few hour songs I probably heard would of been mid morning early afternoon. AC is pretty much the first thing and the last thing I do each day.

To be honest i'm more of a night owl than an early bird. I don't have much energy at all in the morning, and pretty much always just get a drink of water/tea and chill watching some youtube for 1-2 hours. I also find that my brain is just more creative towards the end of the day, and I have more motivation to do stuff when everyone else is tired or busy sleeping lol. I'm not sure if it's just me not wanting to go to sleep, but I do always think of stuff to do at like 11PM at night, when earlier that day i've probably been trying to think of productive things to do, and failing because i'm just dumb. It does come with a positive side though, because I find it much quieter and easy to concentrate on a certain task at night, plus most of my online friends are from different countries and are more active around night time for me anyway.

 

[fluttershy300]

I am, though I would sometimes pull an all nighter so it make sense.

 

[Larsi]

I can play all day long haha. But in midweeks I sometimes start my switch around 7:30 just before going to work. Not for a long time but just to check on some stuff or the few villagers who are awake.

In the weekends I'm not up early but I play late at night. In the beginning a lot more until 5am but now mostly 3 or if I can't sleep 4.

 

[Red Cat]

I'm definitely not one. Please bring back the night owl ordinance. Night time is when most of the good stuff happens (shooting stars, Celeste, Wisp, K.K., rare fish and bugs, tarantula/scorpion terrorism). Too bad we can't do moonlight Fishing Tournaments and Bug Offs. I also hate Daisy Mae.

 

[Pintuition]

Fellow early bird here...and I feel exactly the same way! I usually come on at about 6-6:30 on most weekdays and usually I'll be at work at 7 and unable to play until the evening. I think 10PM is the absolute latest I've ever played. I have no interest in playing late in the evenings, I'm usually sleeping by then!

I really wish you'd get a choice of when the shops open. I know some people who would love noon-midnight, and someone like me that would be thrilled with 6-6. Doubt it would ever happen, but it would be cool!

 

[eggie_]

i wish i was an early bird! i find myself waking up around 11-noon so i never get to hear the lovely early morning tracks or catch the bugs/fish that spawn in those hours. im trying to fix my sleep schedule in preparation for school though so maybe soon ill be able to play in the morning!!

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

although I get up early (4:30am 4 times a week) I dont hop on acnh, it's mainly bc I have work at 6 and like some time to ease into my day which is limited to drinking coffee and eating a bowl of cereal before quickly getting dressed and leaving from my house 15 minutes before my shift

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

I wish I could. But when I get playing Animal Crossing, I like taking my time, and I don't like my tasks for the day nagging at my conscious. So I normally get up super early to do my priorities and then I can get to playing before work.

 

[Corrie]

No way lol. I'd like to be like that but I'm not so oh well. I've never heard the early songs. Earliest I've heard was 9am and that song sucked lol.

 

[Imbri]

I usually log on around 6AM and do my chores before work - pick up sticks, dig fossils, hit rocks, etc.

I go on again in the evening to check the shops, make trades, visit friends, and check in with villagers.

You do what you've gotta do with work/school.

 

[Serabee]

Well, I TT, so I don't have an issue with "missing" things since I make sure I don't

BUT, it's a good thing I do, since my circadian rhythm has me in bed until 12:30 most days. I am clearly nowhere near an early bird, never have been, and I can't imagine I ever will be I mean, I can and do get up early when I have to, but I get my best sleep after 10 AM. Don't ask me why. My dad tends to get up around 5 and I can't even wrap my brain around that

 

[Freetimmyandtommy]

I’m an early bird. I get up 4-4:30. When the game was new I would play an hour or two when I woke up. I would check on my hybrids and I had enormous orchards and would shake fruit and chop wood from every tree. Then craft for half an hour or so and sell it all in the drop box. At night I’d play about an hour to check turnip prices and see villagers. As I paid off every addition and then paid for all the town upgrades my next goal was to tackle the stalk market and make a million bells. Then five million, then ten,twenty, thirty, etc. I also had goals for points but after 300,000 that got boring since there’s nothing to spend them on. I focused on hybrids. All I have left now is to get is blue roses. Now I sign on, check my rose hybrids, go to the ATM and sign off within a few minutes. I don’t have goals so it’s become boring!!

I wake up at 7 - 8 am. I don't turn on the Switch, though. I go out and walk for a while and then go back home and take a shower before playing New Horizons. The earliest I played was about 5:45 am. I heard great things about 5 am music, so I put my headphones in and listened.
