Do you wake up early?

I heard that swiss people wake up really early.
How early is that? (Usually...)

Is it unpolite if I'm with a swiss family and wake up at 8-9am?

Do you wake up early?

Not unpolite, but you will need to apply for a special permit.

Re: Do you wake up early?

I'm only half Swiss, so I only wake up early half the time. For the other days I have a Halbtaxabo, though enforcement is non-existent where I live.

As a non-Swiss person I feel totally exempted from "early-bird" habit.

Re: Do you wake up early?

In my covert survey, I find that the Swiss typically prefer it in the morning rather than at night. It the best way to start the day... the breakfast of champions.

Re: Do you wake up early?

Well if you have to milk the cows 4am might be ok... if you start school early 6am -depending on how far you have to walk...
But as you need special permission to stay up after 10pm...

A permit, it has to be stamped by an officail in the country that you were previously resisdent in. It has to be delivered per hand by yourself personally and will take 3 months to be proofed by the swiss.
They will send it to you via post with the bill, when it is complete!
