wake up at 5 am

Just to keep everybody updated, I am still waking up at 5 am. At this point, the waking up part is much easier than it was before. The only drawback to my experiment is that staying awake is sometimes a problem. The issue stems from working late or not going to bed early. When I work until midnight or later, it doesn’t give me much time to rest and be back at work the next day. Do that consecutively, and it wears you down. I’ve resorted to napping after waking up. I’ll wake up at 5 AM to keep with the challenge, but then I’ll nap for an hour from 6 to 7 to make up an extra hour of sleep. On days like today, when I have enough sleep, at least 6 hours, staying awake is not a problem.

I had a setback on my goal, but I’m back on it. It was much easier to wake up today.

I started today after waking up at 6 for a couple days.

I want to ease into waking up at 5 AM. I was waking up at roughly 7:30 to 8. My intermediate goal is to wake up at 6 for a few days before jumping to 5 AM.

I need to stop staying up late to do stuff and wait to do them in the morning when I have a fresh mind.
