Chimney sweeps, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries, typically woke up very early in the morning, often around 4 or 5 a.m. This early start was necessary to take advantage of daylight hours for their labor-intensive work. Many young boys, who were commonly employed as chimney sweeps, faced grueling schedules that extended throughout the day, often working until dusk.

Chimney sweeps typically stopped working around the age of puberty, which is around 13 to 15 years old. This was primarily due to the physical demands and dangers associated with the job, as well as the desire to transition into other occupations or receive an education. Legislation in the 19th century also sought to regulate and restrict child labor, providing some protections for young chimney sweeps.
In the 19th century, chimney sweeps were estimated to make up about 1-2% of child workers due to their small size and agile ability to fit into narrow chimneys. This practice has since been outlawed in many countries due to the dangers and health risks it posed to children.
Well they didn't get to eat much because if they did they would get fatter and would not be able to fit up the chimneys.
Children were employed as chimney sweeps during the Industrial Revolution because they were small enough to fit in the narrow chimneys. Their small size made it easier for them to climb up and clean the soot and debris from the inside of chimneys. This dangerous work was often done by orphans or children from poor families who had few other options for employment.
Wake up Time was created in 1994.
The Chimney Sweeper is narrated by a chimney sweeper who tells readers a bit about himself and then tells about another chimney sweeper named Tom Dacre. He introduces readers to Tom and then relates a strange dream Tom had that involved chimney sweepers in coffins, angels, and other things. The poem ends with Tom and the narrator waking up and going to work sweeping chimneys.
