How to get up at 5am every day by Morning Song

It took me

3 years

It made me

very happy

"I got a new job three years ago where everybody shows up to work early in the morning. I had to fit in. It starts with the determination that I want to go to bed early and get up early even though I have been a night owl all my life."

How I did it: I tried various methods like setting the alarm clock 15 minutes earlier every week to gradually get up earlier. I often ended up taking one step forward and two steps back. It got easier when I moved from the busy city to the quiet suburbs. I cannot believe how good it makes me feel throughout the day when I sleep from 8:30pm to 4:30am every day.

Lessons & tips: Relax at least an hour before you go to bed. Do not use bright light in the home in the evening. Sleep in a dark cold room.

8:30 – 4:30 and it feels great

I sleep in on weekends till 6:30, and then have a tough time adjusting on Monday. I’m going to try go to sleep at 8:30pm and get up at 4:30 am on weekends as well.

This seemed like an impossible goat at first.... 7 months ago

But now I cannot stay asleep pass 4:30am no matter how hard I try. I wake up drowsy, but get more alert as the day goes on. Then my eyelids start to get heavy after 8:30pm.

Caffeine and exercising late kept me awake. Very poor sleep. Very tired the next day.

Lack of exercise and warm room causes me to lose sleep at night.
