Sounds like those circadian rhythms (internal sleep cycles) again! They vary person to person, which is why yours and your wife's are different. Your body might work best on 7 to 8 hours of sleep, and it sounds like you get about that much nightly. Question is, is that enough sleep for you? Doesn't sound like there's been a lot of change there. Could there be some effect of caffeine, alcohol, late-night exercise, stress/worry, late meals, medical conditions, or medications to consider? Is your mattress due for a change? Is your spouse a restless sleeper that wakes you? Some people are also sensitive to morning light and wake as soon as the room starts to brighten in the morning. Heavier blinds/drapes at the window can help to keep the brain from "waking up" to early. Is there a seasonal pattern for you, with sleeping in becoming waaaay easier in wintertime compared to summertime, when the hours of daylight are much longer? Just a few ideas. You didn't mention whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep (maybe you're terribly fatigued come morning), but if it's anything more than a nuisance to wake up early on weekends, it might be worth getting a sleep study done. you and your doctor can talk about it.
If it's any consolation, I've read in several places (none of which I can find now, of course), that sleeping in on the weekends is not all that good for you as it's much harder to resume your regular sleep routine come Sunday night. Makes Monday mornings really hard. Besides, the best time to sleep in is while on vacation - I recommend it.

it is your Internall clock. I extremely have the comparable subject you have, that's becuase your so used to waking up at 6 once you visit mattress at 10 and once you reside up later you will sleep untill 10 on weekends because of the fact of time distinction. like 10 to six is 8 hours and 12 to ten is extremely longer because of the fact your drained from the early morning wake-united statesthat your strategies has you sleep some greater hours so your greater energized that day you do no longer want an entire llot of sleep. properly thats what happens to me anticipate i visit mattress on weekends comparable time and that i upward thrust up 9:30 and can't return to sleep. :( i do no longer think of theres extremely any answer to it, that's kinda organic

yes, it drives me mad i've tried all sorts, going to bed later, going to bed earlier, nothing works no matter what time i go to bed i always wake up between 6 and 7 even on saturday and sunday, and the moment i wake up i have to get up, don't worry about it nothing is wrong, different people need different amounts of sleep at different times, i have been like that since i was about 20 i am 51 now you just have to learn to live with it and maybe snatch a snooze whenever you can

Im terrible at weekends too. In the week I start work at 7.00am so Im up by 5.45am. Every weekend I say Im going to lie in and sleep but my body clock wakes me and I just lay there bored so I get up and make tea and read. Its very frustrating as im always so tired at night and cant stay up late.

are you tired?
sleeping when you are not tired is bad for you.
You should not sleep in on weekends. If you do it means you are not getting enough sleep during the week. It is better to have a regular going to bed and getting up time that is the same every day.

Your body is programmed to get up at a certain time. Mine is always between 7 and 7:30 unless I do some serious carousing the night before.
Just live with it.

just be thankful you are a morning person. Haven't you noticed how many cranky and miserable people there are first thing in a morning ,all hating you because you are alive and raring to go . Time will come when you cant get up so early so just enjoy it for the moment
