<p>&quot;明天你都六点起床不起床？&quot; is not a valid sentence in Chinese.</p>
<p>If we remove 都, and make it &quot;明天你六点起床不起床？&quot;, it is valid but a little awkward. Because we <strong>usually</strong> don't say things like &quot;起床不起床?&quot;, &quot;吃饭不吃饭?&quot;, &quot;睡觉不睡觉?&quot;, &quot;学习不学习?&quot; etc. when asking questions. The point here is that we <strong>normally</strong> don't repeat the whole word before and after 不 in questions, instead we simplify it.</p>
<p>Note: It is ok to repeat the whole word before and after 不 in declarative statements, like 老师喜欢不喜欢你，我真的觉得不是什么问题. While it can also been simpified as 老师喜不喜欢你，我真的觉得不是什么问题.</p>
<p>Here is the natual way to say it in Chinese:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>起床不? or 起不起床?</p>
<p>吃饭不? or 吃不吃饭不?</p>
<p>睡觉不? or 睡不睡觉?</p>
<p>学习不? or 学不学习?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Back to your question, &quot;明天你都六点起床不起床？&quot; is not correct.</p>
<p>If you are asking a person of his/her get-up time in the moring, you would say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>你早上6点起床嘛? or 你早上6点起来嘛?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If the listener usually gets up at 7 o'clock, and you want to know if that person plans to get up at 6 o'clock tommorow morning, then you can say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>明早你六点起床不? or 你明天早上六点起来吗?</p>
</blockquote>

If you mean `Do you plan to wake up at 6:00 tomorrow?`, then it should be `明天你要六点起床吗？`

The English question itself sounds very awkward. If you want to signal future intention, then use the present continuous tense: Are you planning/going to wake up at six tomorrow?, to which the answer would be YES. However, if you asked me: will you....? My answer would be I DON'T KNOW.

"明天你都六点起床不起床？" is not a valid sentence in Chinese.

If we remove 都, and make it "明天你六点起床不起床？", it is valid but a little awkward. Because we **usually** don't say things like "起床不起床?", "吃饭不吃饭?", "睡觉不睡觉?", "学习不学习?" etc. when asking questions. The point here is that we **normally** don't repeat the whole word before and after 不 in questions, instead we simplify it.

Note: It is ok to repeat the whole word before and after 不 in declarative statements, like 老师喜欢不喜欢你，我真的觉得不是什么问题. While it can also been simpified as 老师喜不喜欢你，我真的觉得不是什么问题.

Here is the natual way to say it in Chinese:

> 起床不? or 起不起床?
>
> 吃饭不? or 吃不吃饭不?
>
> 睡觉不? or 睡不睡觉?
>
> 学习不? or 学不学习?

Back to your question, "明天你都六点起床不起床？" is not correct.

If you are asking a person of his/her get-up time in the moring, you would say:

> 你早上6点起床嘛? or 你早上6点起来嘛?

If the listener usually gets up at 7 o'clock, and you want to know if that person plans to get up at 6 o'clock tommorow morning, then you can say:

> 明早你六点起床不? or 你明天早上六点起来吗?

你会明天早上六点起床吗？ (Will you wake up at 6am tomorrow?)

If I were to salvage your question so it at least makes sense, it'd be:

明天六点,你起床不起床？ (Tomorrow at 6am, will you wake up or not?)
