Which ponies wake up the earliest?

[Baykush 328]

1. Applejack because she has to work in the farm, and also Fluttershy because she has to take care of the animals.

Twilight, she probably has scheduled her whole day so she would need to wake up early to do everything.

Rarity, I doubt many ponies need dresses in the morning but she doesn't seem like the kind of pony who would oversleep.

Pinkie Pie, probably close to Rarity's time, she still has to work at Sugar Cube Corner.

Rainbow Dash (except when she's training with the Wonderbolts, I imagine she has to wake up pretty early).

I imagine Applejack waking up the earliest, well before the sun rises. On top of working the Apple Orchard and tending to deliveries, she also has quite a few barn chores! When Rainbow is working with the Wonderbolts, I can imagine that she has to get up super early as well, given that things are run similar to that of a military base. However, on her days off, I bet she sleeps in, and is maybe the last to get up. Twilight would be the next, waking up at sunrise to handle her royal responsibilities and whatnot. She strikes me more as a late-night bookworm as opposed to reading at the crack of dawn. Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy I would also assume get up at roughly the same time as well.

For me, I would switch Twilight with Applejack. Other than that, I can't argue with you at all! Pretty good analysis. Now, I shall add in some times! On an average day, assuming Equestria is on a 24 hour clock:

 

1. Applejack________5-6AM

2. Twilight__________7-8AM

3. Pinkie Pie________8-9AM

4. Fluttershy________9AM

5. Rarity___________10AM

6. Rainbow Dash____12-1PM (lol!) But I also see Rainbow staying up the latest as well. Then again, that could be Twilight.

 

and I imagine Vinyl Scratch would be a cross between Rarity and Rainbow in terms of wake up time.

 

And Derpy Hooves....She never sleeps!
