Whenever I can. They are super flimsy nowadays though. Powerade and Gatorade bottles are stout and I wash and reuse them over and over.

NYC has excellent tap water. I fill a bottle and keep it in the refrigerator.

We reuse some of the bottles, but not those that have been outside or in the car.

It's funny, I reuse the bottles when I need to bring milk with me to work for oatmeal. I rinse them out and put just the right amount of milk I need.

I used to and then began recycling only to learn it was essentially a waste of time. The plastic water bottles cannot be melted down and reused...so we toss them.

Never. You couldn’t wash them out clean enough to drink out of them again. I recycle.

We recycle them. I have a Cirkul bottle, that comes with refills. I also have Tempur pitcher that filters tap water. I don’t use plastic water bottles at all, or plastic drinking straws.

I just feel like arising at the same time helps me stay on schedule and feel like I am seizing the day. Also, I can NEVER sleep in when I try anyway.

I have tried to get up later but cannot stay up in the evening. I got up at the same time for many years while working

I'm retired, and unless I have a specific appointment, I get up whenever I wake up, and that depends on how late I stayed up the night before

Approximately, but as retirees we're delightfully flexible most all the time.

If I go to bed later, I will wake up later.

It is said that you should always wake up at the same time. Never has worked for me.
