wake up early everyday

i spent 10 days in Florida with my friend and her grandparents. they made us wake up before 10:30 everyday. before this, i was sleeping from about 2 am until 1 pm, which is a very bad sleep schedule. since i’ve been home, i’ve kept up with waking up before 10:30, even if i don’t have anything to do until the afternoon. i’m slowly changing my sleeping habits, for the better.

i woke up this morning and thought, “wow, did i sleep through my alarm? i feel like i should be up by now”. i looked at my phone, and i was only 7:15 am when i didn’t have to be up until 8:15 am. so i layed there until 8 or so before i rolled out of bed. i’m kind of shocked that my body was ready to be up so early. i think once i’m not here in college anymore, i’ll be more motivated to wake up because i’ll have more interesting things to do in my day rather than sit around and go to class here and there like i do now.

i’ve gotten into the habit of waking up 10 to 15 minutes before my class starts. it’s not a very good habit at all, but i can’t force myself to get out of bed any earlier.

this week i start a new class at 9 am for mondays, wednesdays, and fridays. before, it was 10 am. i have 8 am class on tuesdays and thursdays. i’m hoping that by having this 9 am class, i’ll be able to wake up earlier, and maybe even wake up at around 7 am every day rather than varying it day by day. i hope that by doing so my sleep pattern will become more regular and i’ll feel better overall.

i usually wake up around 7, and i leave by 7:10. i usually wait in the line to get to school for about 10 or more minutes. this morning, i woke up at 6:40, and i waited in traffic for no more than 3 minutes! it was pretty nice. i don’t feel as rushed when i wake up early. i just have a hard time getting my butt out of my nice warm bed early in the morning.

for the past week, i have woken up between 6:45 am and 7 am, when i leave the house for school at 7:15 am. i don’t think this helps my goal of waking up early at all.
