Can you see a group of programmers translated half-way round-the-world into some tropical zone all following this schedule ?
"7am - yoga, jogging, reading, etc.
8am - breakfast with friends from the group
9:30am - stand-up meeting at the workspace
9:45am - start morning work session
1pm - lunch at a nearby restaurant or cafe
2pm - work, work, work
6pm - talk from one of our mentors
7pm - dinner and hanging out with the group
8pm - games, movies, or nightlife"[^].
They're going arrive in northern Thailand April 5 for whatever: it will be the bloody-hottest time of year, and the air-pollution is almost always, at that time, horrible (seasonal, deliberately set, fires). Beginning April 13, the north will transmogrify into the four-day water-throwing riot, Songkraan (Thai New Year).
Minds will be blown, of that I'm sure.
I hope I can find where these keyboard-gypsies are staying, and drop in on them, just to grok who they are. I wonder if any of them actually have employers paying for these excursions.

Jogging at 7am? 
I do coffee and a smoke, you go run. Just don't run in the rain, you'll catch a cold.

Coincidently, a friend of mine just recommended I started doing yoga in the morning. He gets up at 5:15 to do this stuff! 
Not being a morning person I responded in the only way that made sense to me: "ARE YOU F****** OUT OF YOUR MIND!? "
I already have trouble getting up at 7:30. I regularly oversleep till 8:30 (and I've tried, but there's really little I can do about it)

I am convinced that each person has an ideal schedule of wakeful and sleep times, and that one of the keys to not feeling like crap in the morning is to find that schedule and keep to it.
Sadly for those around me, my schedule is up at 5:00 a.m. and in bed at 9:00-10:00 p.m. "Early to bed" (got it) "and early to rise" (got that too) "makes a man healthy" (reasonably) "wealthy" (you've got got be kidding) "and wise" (nope).

So you are awake 4-5 hours? And get 19-20 hours of sleep? How do you get any work done?!?

Yeah, I think so too. Unfortunately my sleep schedule is not in line with business hours...
I've been awake until 2 AM last night because I couldn't sleep because I slept until 10 AM yesterday morning (while I slept before 12 PM the night before that!)
I guess I'll go to bed extra early tonight (although tonight my brain will think differently)
I delivered the morning newspaper, having to get up at about 5 AM eac morning, for seven years! Each morning was a struggle. People said "you'll get used to it." Don't you believe it... People asked me if I woke at 5 AM on a sunday too, because waking up at 5 AM was in my system. Hell no! I never woke at 5 AM if I didn't have too!
I may not find my ideal sleep schedule until I'm retired though

I don't think I have an ideal sleep schedule at all. It's different every day. When I don't have to get up, I mostly wake up beween 6:30 and 7:00 (the time I get up during the week). Rarely I manage to sleep until 8:00 or 9:00. And sometimes I wake up at 4:00 or 5:00 and can't fall asleep again. So I can just as well get up. And then I get really tired in the afternoon ...
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I have trouble getting out of bed after 04h00. Sometimes a large breakfast might prompt me to climb back in until 05h00. The other day I took my meds too late (after 00h00) and slept until 09h00. After getting up for breakfast at 04h00.

One hour is too less time for all that. (8 am is breakfast time).
Also, yoga is perhaps better done from about 5 am for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Q: Does yoga include pranayama also?

Well, who knows what their use of the word "yoga" means ... I'll bet they don't know.
But, I'd wager they'll not be doing anything that's like true Pranayama a la Patanjali. On the other hand the whole circus might be run by the pseudo-sikh devotees of Yogi Bhajan, and they might all be doing bhastrika until they pass out  Or, they might be torturing their joints, sinews, and tendons, with that Iyengar-flavor masochism.
cheers, Bill

Are those even real times? I thought that was just a place holder for time...Why wake before noonish???
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Am I alone in thinking that Scotland deserved more today? Haven't seem them show that much skill and determination for some time.

Did they hold another election and win?

Not an election, but I would have like to see them win today.

I would like to win today too.

A farmer was counting his cows and initially only counted 196. But when he rounded them up he had 200.

What if his initial count was 204? Would he have rounded them down?

The operative word is "only". Without it, there would be no joke.
