The Relatable Morning Routine of a Tired Duck

This animated short by DillybyDally captures the universal struggle of waking up early for work. The video follows a duck character who begins its day in bed, only to be jolted awake by an alarm clock at 7 AM. The character is then shown transitioning from a cozy, sleepy state to a professional setting, complete with a tie and a laptop, before finally letting out a dramatic, cathartic scream. It is a humorous, stylized depiction of the daily grind and the difficulty of transitioning from rest to professional responsibilities.

7 am sounds good. I've spent the last 8 years working on call 24 hrs. Sometimes I start my day at 3am and I'm back in bed by 7am. Other days I'll sleep til noon if I can. I hate office hours and would rather wake up at 3am if it means I'm not expected to be somewhere by 8am.

Who tf wakes up at 7??? I've been getting up at 5 for the last 22 years, when I legally became an adult.

Haven't trouble waking up 7AM to work? Try not having any money. You will wake up 5AM from anxiety
