People in different countries get up at different times. In most countries people get up between six and seven in the morning, because they must go to work or school. But in some cold places in the north, winter days are very short and mornings are very dark, so people there often get up later and go to bed early. Farmers usually get up before the sun rises, while many young people in big cities do not want to get up until ten o’clock on Sunday.
