Anytime is ok if you dont have neighbors. If you have neighbors its better to hold off a bit especially if they are elderly or very young.

Mostly the grass is too wet to mow before 7, and it can be way too hot to mow after noon. I sometimes mow late in the afternoon when shade exists.

We live in an area with lots of houses around. We try to wait until at least 8 am, but no later than that or we will be out in the heat of the day cutting our 2 acres...

I think by 7, most people are up getting dressed for a new workday.

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.

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