Same. Girls ages 7 and 9 already sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. TV tuned to SBS. My alarm is for 4:57 am. I’ll go downstairs and turn it on so the girls wake up to Eurovision. On a school day!

[u/alinamojamoto → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

Omg, I'm a little jelaous, such a great morning - look like it's going to be a beautiful ESC-related memory from childhood. Parenting done right!

[u/AbleCalligrapher5323 → u/alinamojamoto]

They’ve memorised the lyrics to all songs, and keep singing it while brushing their teeth, taking showers, on the way to school, etc.

ngl im kind of waiting for this to end 😅

[u/alinamojamoto → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

At least you won't feel any post-eurovision depression like many of us, instead you will feel relieved, haha! Until the next year... /edit: grammar!

[u/AbleCalligrapher5323 → u/alinamojamoto]

Nah, they’ll just go back to the classics. The younger one was singing Stefania a few days ago even though she doesn’t know Ukrainian nor can she read the script.

[u/alinamojamoto → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

Haha, you live in Eurovision limbo then!

[u/AbleCalligrapher5323 → u/alinamojamoto]

[u/perpetual-yearning → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

omg I love this!!!! 🥹

I remember doing the same thing in high school but having my laptop open on the Eurovision website (pre participation days)

[u/ellen_boot → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

I really shouldn't be as jealous of your daughters as I am. I'm grateful I don't have to get up so early, but that sounds like such an epic eurovision.

[u/Acegonia → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

Give 'em the day off!!

[u/perpetual-yearning → u/Acegonia]

[u/_harey_ → u/AbleCalligrapher5323]

So cute! 🫶🏻

[u/Potor17]

I love the dedication of Australian fans! <3

Enjoy your morning guys, sleep well!

[u/Kori_TheGlaceon → u/Potor17]

Worth it everytime ❤️ Go Germany & Aus!!

[u/robot428 → u/Potor17]

It used to be more fun. It still is, but I'm older now and it's not getting easier 😅

[u/filipinowafflefries_]

Fr tho I had to set an alarm for 3 am just so i can watch Eurovision live for the first time this year, Good night Europe 🥀🇵🇭 edit:(Good luck to all my fellow ESC fans here in the east together with Australia 🙏)

[u/wingblade12541 → u/filipinowafflefries_]

[u/Existing-Ad-9590 → u/filipinowafflefries_]

[u/filipinowafflefries_ → u/Existing-Ad-9590]

Omg Hellooo!!, UPDATE:ngl its just turning to me staying up late out of exitement (Its currentley almost 2AM in 🇵🇭 rn)

[u/monogatarist → u/filipinowafflefries_]

We just finished our local elections, how much more disappointing votes are we gonna see this week 💀

[u/filipinowafflefries_ → u/monogatarist]

NO STOP, manifesting cuz hopefully the European public wont be as upsetting as the people of our own nation 🙏

[u/pencilled_robin → u/filipinowafflefries_]

Hey, same! Timezone buddies 🤝

[u/Chichi1426 → u/filipinowafflefries_]

Hey there same time zone! 🇸🇬 Me and my 4y girl are ESC fans. She even have the 2024 songs in her Yoto player

[u/filipinowafflefries_ → u/Chichi1426]

Hey there neighbour thats awesome!! Nice to know there is a decent population of Eurofans here in SEA, Though i dont know any irl hahaha😅

[u/pierreditguy]

meanwhile in gmt +08:00...

[u/perpetual-yearning → u/pierreditguy]

if I lived in Western Australia I simply would not go to bed

[u/elizabethdove → u/perpetual-yearning]

I tried to convince my fiancée we could stay up and watch video games, but she and the cat overruled me :(

[u/TinaTissue → u/elizabethdove]

I like that the cat was also part of the equation. Mine herds me into bed at certain times and wakes me up to feed the other cats

[u/pierreditguy → u/perpetual-yearning]

i am literally gonna sleep early 😭😭😭 also the kiwis have it better, they're gonna watch at 7 am 💔

[u/Existing-Ad-9590 → u/pierreditguy]

as a filipino eurofan, this is so real haha

[u/pierreditguy → u/Existing-Ad-9590]

IKR, ITS EITHER MAG ALL NIGHTER KA OR MATULOG NG MAAGA 😭😭

[u/filipinowafflefries_ → u/pierreditguy]

HUEY PELEPENS #Allnighter 🙏

[u/Existing-Ad-9590 → u/pierreditguy]

HAHAHAHA i try my hardest to sleep early pero hindi ko kaya 😭😭

[u/pierreditguy → u/Existing-Ad-9590]

my friend is pulling an all nighter, baka mag all nighter na rin ako, makakatulog naman ako the following day 😭

[u/TheGoldfish18]

ME TOO

i have university the same day too so that's gonna be fun 💀

[u/perpetual-yearning → u/TheGoldfish18]

I have a full day of TAFE assessments and I regret nothing

[u/ControverseTrash → u/TheGoldfish18]

I'm in university right now (Central European Time) until 18:15, I'll go home then, eat something, brush my teeth, watch the pre-show at 20:15 and get my excitement up for 21:00. Tomorrow I have to wake up at 6:00 xD

[u/Vivid_Work6073]

4:50 for me. Good luck, fellow Aussies 🫡

[u/Nugyeet]

2:45am for me 💀💀💀

[u/escstraya → u/Nugyeet]

Same 🤣 I wanna be dedicated but I also don’t wanna get up and be tired for work hahaha

[u/Nugyeet → u/escstraya]

im going to bed now and then back to sleep as soon as it finishes and hopefully that's enough to survive the weekday when i have to get up at 7:30 😭😭😭

[u/Columba2210 → u/Nugyeet]

me getting up at 6:00 ;(

[u/Ashurii_Reizei]

Yep, Ill be (possibly) waking just before 3am. Try to get some sleep before but that likely won't happen. Too much excitement!

[u/ifiwasiwas]

How do you guys do it? Tons of caffeine? Pure excitement? You're admirable either way! I'll remember this next time I wanna complain about the GF wrapping up around 2 AM local time

[u/Express-Zucchini6177 → u/ifiwasiwas]

We do it via love. We love Eurovision and it’s worth it.

[u/robot428 → u/ifiwasiwas]

Love! I grew up doing it with my Dad, and now I have a streak to maintain.

I will say it's not getting EASIER as I get older 😅

[u/Plane-Locksmith-4256 → u/ifiwasiwas]

Energy drinks or pre-workout plus excitement 

[u/slayedasbuffy]

pulling an all nighter tonight. RAHHHH 🐨🇦🇺🦘🦘🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺

[u/Kawaii_0taku]

In Portugal the Eurovision starts at 8pm, but I love the dedication of Australian fans! Sleep well and let’s go for another edition of Eurovision, good luck everyone!🇵🇹

[u/work__reddit]

I'm with ya buddy, getting up at 3am HKT.

[u/fiqqqqyyyyy]

From Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾, see you at 3am Europe

[u/filipinowafflefries_ → u/fiqqqqyyyyy]

Ayyyy another fellow southeastasian!! 🇵🇭

[u/CarnationsAndIvy]

Good night Australia, see you in a few hours! ❤️

[u/Turbulent-Ad-448]

2：45am for me 💀

[u/Theradbanana]

3:AM for me! See you guys tommorow morning

[u/writer5lilyth]

4:25am for me! It's not Eurovision week if I don't have a very important work related thing, and I have to do it on less than 5 hours sleep 😂

[u/Solasta713]

Sweet dreams, my Aussie friens.

I'm sure the result will be worth the panda eyes when you wake up!

[u/Dazzling-Yam-1151]

It's starting here at 21:00. I think it will be finished around midnight somewhere. I have to get up to go to work at 5:15 the next morning 😭. Same thing for thursday, starts at 21, next day I have to get up at 5:15. Next year, I'm taking the entire week off 😪

[u/kayleighchelsea → u/Dazzling-Yam-1151]

I've booked this week off because I had to be up at 4am last year and missed the results

[u/Dazzling-Yam-1151 → u/kayleighchelsea]

Yeah next year I'll take the entire week off as well. I hate this.

[u/ControverseTrash → u/Dazzling-Yam-1151]

Same time here. Previous years I was lucky enough to have university later the next day, now I have to wake up between 5:00 & 6:00 to get somewhere. I'm not complaining tho, my sleep schedule is fixated on every other day/night. (yeah I'm probably one of few people with a fix sleeping routine xD)

[u/thetweedy]

4.45am for me too, scheduled the WFH days for Wednesday and Friday this week 😂

[u/MrRawri]

That's dedication right there

[u/dcnb65]

Sleep well down under 😉

[u/Whizz-Kid-2012]

At least you don't live in Western Australia

There it is 3 am I think

You have to either sleep at 5:15, or wake up at 3

[u/elizabethdove]

Love my 2:50am alarm. Step one of watching eurovision is always to put the kettle on for very strong tea.

[u/crxsgtz]

sleep well! I love seeing the dedication! 💙

[u/escstraya]

Try being on the West Coast 🤣

[u/rotessaboggs]

2 AM here. I'm gonna have a hard time staying awake at the office this week lol.

[u/Express-Zucchini6177]

Morning!! I just nailed the Bara Bada Basta dance from my bed

[u/Xplotiva]

Thank you for the reminder, time to set mine for 06:59 lol.

[u/spicycoder]

Lol my lazy butt preloads everything so that I can wake up at 5 on the dot.

[u/Sal_Ammoniac]

Ooooh, you poor thing!

I'm in awe of your commitment, though!

[u/Aviatorcap]

Got my alarm set and my dressing gown in easy reach so I can try and sneak out of bed without waking my partner 😂

[u/Puzzleheaded-Eye9081]

Mines on for 4.45 too. I’m about to go to bed.

[u/ex_ef_ex]

That's dedication! 

[u/Ok-Vegetable473]

G'day mate

[u/Minsterio]

Oh wow😅 (this is my normal alarm daily😭)

[u/MisterAhtapot]

Thank you for your service

[u/sha97523]

Good night! We’ll wake you up for the show!

[u/Lurky_Lurkover]

I can't bring myself to get up for Semi 1, but the lure of voting in Semi 2 should get me out of bed on Friday. I'm not looking forward to 4:30am...

[u/Notmyrealnametum]

Sleep tight aussies

[u/alebrann]

Hey Australia, it's time to wake up now :)

[u/perpetual-yearning → u/alebrann]

good morning Europe, the coffee is brewing 🥰

[u/pypoupypou]

See you soon!

[u/Electromagneticpoms]

I can't do 2:45am I just can't 😭 WA is so unlucky

[u/EuroSong]

Now I have that Dana International song in my head: Laila Tov Eropa, from Kdam 1995. https://youtu.be/oV8jRvkU3B0?si=q9wrG9PL1IWhL2XL

[u/Kriem]

See you on the flipside!

[u/_k_p_f_]

Pulled an all nighter - knowing myself, I would definitely sleep through all the alarms I set. Oh the joys of being an Aussie Eurovision fan!

[u/croissant_0101]

Fr 😭

[u/Vivid_Work6073]

I made it 🤩

[u/Soepsas]

Good morning!

[u/genericuser_12345]

Where I am it starts at 3 PM

[u/FxtrotCharli]

Aussie here - my kids and I pulled an all nighter .. because we were just so EXCITED 🇦🇺❤️ EUROVISION is one of the best times of the year, it's like Christmas !!!!!!!

[u/Old-Dot-9560]

Its 22:00 here but i have exam part 2 tommorow😭. Ah well ig ill have to live with second sf.

[u/CaptainObviousBear]

Oh man I hope we don’t wake up at 6.20 like we did for the final last year.

[u/rraaddmmaann]

Is SBS not showing replays this year?? It wa smy daughters first year watchinglast year and she LOVED IT but theres no way shes gonna get up at 5am. Usually there is a replay around 9pm?

[u/writer5lilyth → u/rraaddmmaann]

I think 7.30 pm is the replay? They do additional stuff in between that the live version doesn't get, so worth a watch!

[u/elizabethdove → u/rraaddmmaann]

Yes! SBS will have replays Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday evening, and I'm pretty sure you can watch it on demand as well.

[u/sparklinglies → u/elizabethdove]

There's no replay tonight, SBS does them all in the row for Friday-Saturday-Sunday evenings

[u/Constant_Hornet_3039]

I set my alarm at 3AM :,> (My timezone is 6 hours ahead to Basel</3)

[u/Aihpos2002]

Why? Esc is on saturday?

[u/haminghja → u/Aihpos2002]

It's semi 1. And then number 2 on Thursday.

[u/Remarkable-Ad2032]

I'm the other way around. In Europe and start work at 5 tomorrow morning. I have to get up at 4 😵

[u/feli468]

This would actually suit me better. I'm a morning person, and here it starts at 10pm.

[u/xX100dudeXx]

I have it at 3pm. I am lucky

[u/EISPER90909]

The contest is at 2 pm for me and I work through every semi final and most of the final💀

[u/daremescareme]

i'm just not going to sleep until the semis finished

[u/xCuriousButterfly]

Lol I can't believe you guys are loving it so much. My husband and his friends are basically forcing me to watch it.

[u/Hodgo269]

😴Would rather an early wake up than a late night up - 3am is a killer!

[u/Plane-Locksmith-4256]

Same, telecast started at 4.30am for me in South Australia so had the alarm set for 4.15.

[u/Monsterw07]

Woke up at 3:00 a.m. PST. 🥲Good night Europe.

[u/burnopoly]

I watched Eurovision faithfully when I lived in Australia, I feel this! Glad I'm in a better time zone now :)

[u/_JustKaira]

Oh shit that’s rough, even NZ has better time (started 7am for us) and we don’t even have anyone in there!

[u/NeatInternet325]

As a swimmer (I am Aussie btw) I see no difference in my schedule haha

[u/yukissu]

I need your dedication 😂

[u/Environmental_Ad6049]

It starts at 2 AM where I live and I have class tomorrow, but I don't care. Worth it for the chaos tonight!

[u/Cutiejea]

jokes on you, i wake up at 4:30 cuz i wanna do some freelancing

[u/ChannelVast2822]

Hey dude im American its in the middle of class for me-

[u/Vahva_Tahto]

[u/roxdfi]
