Half hour. 1st 15 minutes is to get up and truly wake up. 10 minutes or so to get dressed. 5 minutes for last minute stuff, check traffic, make sure I have everything and leave. I hate waking up early but I hate traffic more. If I don't leave by 6:30 I'm in for a rough time. 7 or later and I'm better off waiting 2 hours to leave.

Like 5 maybe 10 minutes tops. Take a 2 minute shower, brush teeth (and beard!), get dressed, grab a bagel or pop-tart. out the door. Lol.

45 minutes including shower, teeth, makeup, choosing outfit, dressing and putting on jewelry; hair takes almost no time. However, I get up an hour and a half before I have to leave as I like to have coffee, read the paper, make the bed, etc. without rushing.

I wake up around 6:15 and leave the house a little after 7:45.

I spend a lot of that time watching the news and just waking up -- I hate being rushed in the morning.

My actual routine takes about 30 minutes altogether -- quick shower, get dressed, apply makeup, style hair.

I wash and straighten my hair at night -- my hair is incredibly thick and fairly long, and takes about 45-50 minutes after I wash it to get it dried and straightened. I just don't want to use that time in the morning. So I do it at night and sleep with my hair in a bun, which preserves the style and adds some volume/wave into the layers.

Stinging Back pains suck . It added additional time to my getting ready for work. Thankfully, I informed my boss that I had health issues and might run in an hour late today. I am a highly committed guy, and try to complete my task list even in complete pain.

I get up really early because I exercise, feed pets, water plants, eat breakfast and get ready. I usually get out of bed a little before 5 to be at work at 8:30. The actual showering, dressing, hair and makeup takes about 45 mins.

Alarm goes off at 6:30...hit snooze for 20-30 minutes lol

At 7AM finally make it into the bathroom and wash face, brush teeth, floss, apply various face lotions. Wait for lotion to soak in. (I take my showers every night right before bed)

At 7:30 Wake up son for day care or camp. Then apply makeup. Do hair which consists of either a "messy bun" or I have to flat iron the whole mess...which I do depends on how many times I hit snooze that morning. Get dressed.

At 7:45 we're usually out the door. We get to daycare/camp around 8AM most days and then I drive on to work. I usually get to work by 8:20ish each day.

Typically around 40 minutes, but I can be much faster of slower depending on how much time is available.
