The showering before bed post made me wonder what time everyone normally gets up. This poll is asking about getting out of bed, not the time your alarm first sounds.
My alarm is set for 8:30, but it's usually at least 9 or 9:30 before I can haul myself out of bed. (Unless I have an early meeting or appointment, I may not roll into work until 10-10:30ish, but I show up to meetings on time.)
If I want to shower and get ready in peace, I have to do it before DS wakes up. That means 6am if I have to wash my hair or 6:30 if I don't. He wakes up between 7-7:30 and then all hell breaks loose. If I am too lazy to get up earlier, I have to wait for his nap and that is a toss up lately.

The alarm goes off at 6:15. I'm bad about hitting the snooze button though, so I moved the alarm clock to a dresser. I still wind up hitting snooze. I need to move it even further away, I guess!
On weekends, I'm up between 7 and 10, depending on what's going on.

This is one of the things I miss the most about pre kid life. And it won't get better until my DD goes to college. I love, love, love to sleep in. Give me until 8 or 9 a.m. and I'm golden. Now I have to get up at 6:45 to get the kids on the bus during the week and I sleep in on the weekends and in the summer .
I get up about between 5-5:10 and I leave my house around 6:25. It takes me about an hour to get to work. I drive halfway and take the bus the other half.
I set my alarm for 11 most days. If I didn't set the alarm, I wouldn't wake up until 1 Luckily, I can schedule work for pretty much whenever I want. I generally request afternoon and evening classes.
Right now I work only afternoon/evening shift so I never set the alarm. I usuallywake up between 8 and 9.30 and stay in bed reading emails and drinking coffee.
Back a few months ago I was working mostly day shifts. I would set my alarm to 5 or 6 am (depending on if I started at 6.45 or 7.15). I'd get up as soon as the alarm went off and be out the door 20 minutes later.
As much as I like my lazy mornings now I would prefer to be back on day shifts or even better a mix of days and evenings.
My alarm goes off at 5:30,I'm usually up within 1 snooze, then I shower and eat breakfast and am out the door by 7. My commute consists of 2 trains, so I get into the office by around 8:15.
I get up as soon as my alarm goes off at 4:50am, I was never a snooze-button-hitter. I get dressed and brush my teeth in 10 minutes so I can be backing out the driveway by 5:04 at the latest. I have a 45 minute commute but if I drive fast in the left lane I can do it in 41 minutes. ;D
I have to leave for work a few minutes after 7:00, so I am usually up by 5:40 in order to have time to walk the dog, eat breakfast, do my hair and make-up, etc.
I get up on my own most days by 6:15, including weekends...the dog starts stirring around 5:30 or so and that gets me up. I usually leave for work by 7:30/8 (Love making my own hours).
Mine varies. I go horseback riding before work three mornings a week, and on those days I wake up about 5 to be gone at 5:20 (I get ready after). The other 2 days I get up at 7 and leave about 8.
For poll purposes I picked the earlier time since it's more frequent.

When I go back to work after maternity leave I will get up around 5 to get ready in peace before the kiddos wake up around 6. Some days we will need to be out of the house before 7, other days not until 8 or 9. On the days I go in later I will try and fit a workout in at 5.
