PinkCoffeeMugYay me!
I started doing this again today. 3 years ago
How I did it: My real goal changed from waking up 5:30 am to waking up before 5:30 am, so I have 6 alarms. Two cell phones and an alarm clock. One cell phone is old and the only thing that works on it is the alarm, and then I have my current cell phone alarm. I set three different alarms at about 10-15 minute intervals on my old phone, one alarm on my current phone. I place one phone on the bed next to my head, the other phone on the floor next to the bed, and I put the alarm clock in the closet, and leave the door open so I can hear it. That way I have to get up to turn it off. Read how I did it… 3 years ago
Although it was very difficult this morning, I managed to get out of bed… During the holiday I will be suspending this goal somewhat since I will be staying with my mom and she doesn’t get up until around noon, and I don’t want to disturb her. I will probably wake up earlier than that, but I need to rest too so I think I will allow myself to sleep later and sleep more, and then get back to doing this once I’m back here. Hopefully two weeks of slacking won’t mess up my sleep cycle too badly. 3 years ago
I woke up on time today and then I realized that I am awake too early! I don’t have anything to do until like, 11:00am. I can have Jordan time though, which is good. 3 years ago
But I haven’t made it to the weekend yet. We’ll see what happens tomorrow! 3 years ago
Done for today! I might have needed two red bulls and 20oz of coffee to make it through my day, but dammit, I’m awake! 3 years ago
Today is a super important day though… so… I guess that’s why. I need to wake up this early on mundane days too… 3 years ago
So far I’m doing alright. I was going to wait until tomorrow to start officially, but I guess I will now. I woke up at 6:21am, which I know is NOT 5:30am, but is much closer than the time I’ve been waking up at. Also, I woke up after only having 3 1/2 hours of sleep and with no alarm. I had a bad dream…. but I woke feeling rested enough to start my day! So… I dunno, maybe now that I’m back from my vacation I can have a fresh start? 3 years ago
I barely slept at all last night. I had a nightmare after getting off the phone late with Stephen, and ended up calling him again around 3am to help get my mind off it, and then I tossed and turned all night long. Then I overslept when I finally did get to sleep and then I was 30 minutes late to work. Ugh! 3 years ago
