get up early

I keep waking up before my alarm. I don’t know how or why but it is happening.

I keep waking up before my alarm. I don’t know how or why but it is happening.

I am getting better (well i have to now that my little boy has started school). I get up at 7.30am and I think my mornings would go smoother if I could get up by 7am. My finger always finds that snooze button though.

For the last couple of days of getting up early I haven’t even felt like an afternoon nap and I’m not yawning. i get tired earlier at night generally.

When I am getting up everyday at 7am I will consider this goal as completed.

I’ve got better at this, generally getting up at about 8.30am. It’s still too late and need to push it at least an hour earlier as my son starts school in a week and I don’t want either of us to be exhausted for this. So I think a 7am start for me and 7.30am start for him would be ideal. I really nervous about this as I find getting up early really difficult. I am definitely an owl at heart.

Oh I spent the weekend trying to get up earlier while my son was away (so he didn’t have to deal with snappy, tired mummy) and I was getting better. But then sunday night the little one was ill and kept me up half the night. Needless to say we slept in later the next day and the cycle started again! I got up at 10:30am today – it’s just too late! Luckily his nursery doesn’t start until 12:30pm but this isn’t what I want him to remember of his childhood – me laying in bed half the day. (Of course, he is in bed too so he doesn’t necessarily know). It is just not the way we should be living. So it is 10:30pm now, I’m going to get into bed and read my book and hopefully I will nod off soon. I seem to be in a sort of cycle where I get really tired at about 4pm and then I push through that and by bedtime I’m wide awake again. I don’t know how to get out of this one.
