New Yorkers' Morning Wake Up Rituals
The NY Post has an article by Mandy Stadtmiller with a survey of 850 New Yorkers asking them various questions on various question on their morning wake up rituals. I found them pretty interesting, especially the wake up times by region of New York and by profession.
Those in Queens and Staten Island wake up the earliest at 6:34 a.m., the Bronx wakes up on average at 6:40 a.m and Brooklyn folks tend to wake up at 6:44 a.m. New York on average gets up at 6:39 a.m. I believe (even though it is not published here) that if you live in Manhattan the average wake up time is 7:01 a.m., since they have less time required for travel.
Firefighters are the earliest to rise at 5:42, then taxi drivers & Wall Street guys at 5:50, followed by bodega workers at 6:03 and then doormen at 6:24 in the morning.
A lot more interesting stats on New Yorker's morning rituals at the NY Post.
