Alas!
My days go something like this. Wake up about 4 or 5am if it’s sunny as the light wakes me up. Way too early. Go back to sleep till about 10am. Get up, do much less than I should do. Have a nap (maybe) Do more stuff, mostly unproductive. End up chatting online or watching TV till about 2am. Late night – so tired the next day, can’t get up at a “normal” time or if I do, end up napping later in the day. And so it continues.

It’s worse cos I’m on my holidays but I don’t want to waste them by doing nothing so I am going to deal with this.

I know that I used to be a morning person and I can get up early if I need to – it’s just that I don’t really need to at the moment.

But there are lots of activities/chores etc that I could be doing if I got up early. Yoga, my unstarted couch – 5k plan, housework, a walk for example.

So maybe if I make a plan to schedule these activities, and make myself get up for them, I will start to get sleepy at a reasonable time. I will hold off the naps (I have been getting better with that). I can tweak my strategy as required.

Initial Plan: Day 1
As a start, I will set my alarm for 8am tomorrow. Done. I will get up, showered, dressed, breakfasted and do some activity or chore first thing.

Edit: and no naps tomorrow!
