So around what time do spring breakers wake up and start partying??

I'm sure we all gotta get some shuteye while on break so what time do most people wake up and start partying and whatnot? Noon?

I suppose wakeing up and seeing the oceon out of the window makes it allot easier to get up than back home!

Wake up around 10-10:30, eat some left over pizza/hot wings, drink a water or gatorade, change clothes, pack up a cooler, and on the beach by noon.

I usually go to bed around 4-5(some nights, others are later) and wake up around 11am because that's when the free beer starts being served. We've never set an alarm clock, I think we have another sense that tells us when the kegs have been tapped

You'll notice you and your group will get up later and later each day :)

We started out getting up around 9..then 10...then 11 and then 12 by the end of the week. Your body will go into shutdown mode around Friday (or end of your trip).

sometimes we dont even sleep, hang out in the room and drink or at the pool and then go get some breakfast at the buffet or the waffle house and straight to lavela, sharky's or harppoonnn......where ever the Panamaniac tells us the party is at

wen we do sleep, its like....bed at 6am, wake up at 7pm...there goes a whole day

I think this is pretty much dead on. Nothing goes on before noon on the beach so you arent gonna miss anything anyway. You are better of waking up at like 11 each day so you dont get tired early at night.

last year, my group found a pretty good plan to keeping a constant schedule and still getting to enjoy all the partying.

Wakeup: 9-10am, light breakfast, start drinking
Party: all day til like 5-6pm when it starts coolin off
Nap: til like 7-8pm if you need it, shower, etc.
Clubs and nightlife: til like 2-3am
Pass out: by 4am

basically, if we could pull a solid 6+ hours of sleep, and then a nice power nap in the evening, we were feelin pretty damn good.

we pulled one all-nighter, on thursday (2nd last night) and paid for it on friday-basically ruined our entire friday afternoon/evening because we all just passed out super early.

i will make this note though: either being up from the night before, or waking up early, to see the sunrise with a beer in each hand is amazing. ...just make sure you aren't like my dumbass friend and stay up just to realize you're facing the wrong way. haha

this is a great thread!! I usually cant sleep during spring break with everything going on...especially if you had a real good night, you want to wake up and start the day asap...i remember last year we met some people 2 floors below us that would sleep till 1pm, and wasted the day away...im always up 8am latest and drinking by 10am...i usually hit the hotel gym to wake up a bit, grab some light breakfast and chase it with a shot...damn i cant wait...52 freakin days!!!

Power naps are key!! So long as you are up by 10i-11ish you are fine! If you are staying at a party hotel, like the boardwalk, you will hear the DJ start playing music loud, so you will be up! Shower up, grab a quick bite to eat(fuel for beer drinking) and then hit the beach behind the boardwalk!! Ahhhhhhhh so much fun!

I'm staying for 9 nights, so I'll def have to take some naps, and will have to take a night off from drinking... I might even stay in 1 nite, to recuperate... I don't want to be a zombie by the end of the trip
