How to get up earlier
It made me
Happier
 How I did it: I started by cutting down on caffeine at night. I didn't realize how much soda made an impact on my sleepiness until I stopped drinking it after 5 pm. I started using my cell phone as my alarm clock as well. This can prove to be useful if the power goes out in the night. I have 5 different times I can set my alarm and I set them in 15 minute increments. It took a couple of months but I am now getting up a good 45 minutes earlier than I used to. It feels good getting to work on time :)

How I did it: Instead of my radio alarm I had my brother call me while the phone was across the room. The radio alarm was on but I didn't even hear it! I have learned to sleep through it.The shrieking alarm gives me an unhealthy jolt of adrenaline and so I just hate to resort to that.I will get up at 11AM for 2 more days and then move up to 10AM and when daylight savings comes I'll be at 10 but it'll be 9AM!!!! one more hour and I'll be up … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Every day, I started forcing myself to get up a little earlier. But that wasn't really my problem.

How I did it: I realized that there were a lot of things in my life that I wanted to do, but was lacking the motivation and time to do them. If you even wake up 30 minutes earlier than you used to you can get so much more accomplished in your day! After doing this a couple of times you realize the value to it and want to keep getting up earlier! Read how I did it…

Is this a habit?
1 week ago
I have been getting up earlier for over six weeks now. So I am moving this to the accomplished category. It was easier this week because (thanks to the time change) it is sunny when I get up in the morning. The combination of having a warm house, sun shining on me and warm coffee waiting for me has really helped. I used to get up around 8:25 and now I have moved it back to 8:10. I would love to see that pushed back to 8:00 some time. But I would need to find a way to fill that free time with something more motivating than sleep. For now though, this goal is accomplished!

I’m having to commute to London now for work, it’s not forever, but it does mean getting up before 7 every day in order to get the train.
I must be getting used to it though cause I’m getting up earlier at weekends too

I “got up earlier” the past two days, but I only slept for 7 hours maximum… so now I feel like I have too little energy. I have to make sure that I can sleep (at least)8 hours… Other than that, I’m doing fine on this goal :)

I’ve made it to the four week mark. This week was a little more difficult and I found myself pushing back the time I get up by five minutes. But next week I will remain firm. I’ve got the heat to go on earlier, so it’s nice and warm when I get up. And I have figured out how to set my automatic coffee pot, so something warm is waiting for me!

I’ve always found getting up in the morning so so difficult. No matter how much sleep I have I tend to snooze and never have enough time to get ready in the morning. I end up going to work in a bit of a mess with half the stuff I should have taken forgotten – not good! I really think for me it is just a habit, so from tomorrow I am going to try to force myself out of that bed a bit earlier!
