As mentioned in the entry before this one, I fasted for 16 hours before the time I wanted to wake up; it successfully reset my sleep cycle! I was up at 8 the next day (I’d been getting up around 10), the day after, and then successfully got up at 7:00 on Wednesday. I’m now making it a habit to eat an early, light dinner on Sundays, with no desert or snacks afterward. Helped me get up early again this morning, after sleeping in over the weekend.

Entrepreneur & Inc
20 months ago
I’ve been reading Entrepreneur & Inc. magazines for several months now. I’d like to expand into some more diverse magazines, but the others that are most interesting to me aren’t available for cheap subscription via eBay or magazine discount sites. So I’ll have to increase my income before I can really indulge this goal.
Unless anyone has any tips for getting cheap/free subscriptions for magazines that don’t normally offer them?
