I am not a morning person but I would like to be. I need more time in the day in order to achieve my other goals of reading more and living a healthier lifestyle. As it is I barely have enough time to do the things I have to do let alone the things I would like to do.

curvaliscious is in bed with a headache. :o(
How I did it: I started out by switching around my medications - taking my antidepressants in the evenings before bed instead of in the morning. Thats all that it took. Now, I am up around 6:30 instead of 7:30 - sometimes earlier and I get so much done in the mornings. My daughter is happier because I am up with her before going to school (she leaves around 7:30) and my younger daughter is happy to have me wake her up with hugs and kisses every morning. Read how I did it…

zeknir is ambitious
i have been forced to do this. i now have a job where i have to be up by 6:30am (when i shower before bed). i have had this job for most of the summer, and its quite perfect, actually. m-f, no weekends ever, and i get out at 1pm every day. i’m keeping it through the fall semester, getting out at about noon every day. it’ll be nice to work m-f mornings and never nights or weekends. and i’ll be making good money during school! hahah but anyways, so i’ve been forced into waking up early. its difficult, but i do it every weekday. so i’m calling this finished, and creating a new goal called “get more sleep”

yeah so i pretty much don’t do this. i still stay up late, and thus sleep later, but i think to myself every time: I need to stop doing this. I need to go to bed. I need to get up early tomorrow. I need to work on this shit in the morning instead. I need to kick these people out. I didn’t mean to stay up this late. blah blah blah. i guess its good that i acknowledge what i’m doing, now i just need to act upon it.

and found it to be overrated. I like to sleep and I’m not overdoing it so, I’m good.
I don’t need to be at work until 9:00am so I have no excuse for not getting a few things done in the morning before I leave. I usually get up at around 8:00 and immediately have to get dressed, put on my make-up, find something for lunch and rush out the door like a crazy woman! I will try to get up by 7:00 each morning and do some priority things like: laundry, make bed, exercise and figure out what is for dinner.
i would love waking up and functioning correctly in the morning but im just not a morning person! i always feel horrible in the morning..
invisiblekiss is singing lessons @ 7.30
i ghave to catch the bus in the morn for college so it feels like i have to or else… and besides i get so tired by teh end of the day runnin around n so i fall asleep when i come honme n i wake up in the morning early cuz i went to bed like 8 or 9 sometimes 6 ish. its worth it cuz u have all this time in the day when ur not workin or busy
I’m so proud that I actually am doing this… No matter what, I set my alarm for the same time every day. I started getting up at 5:30, after reading a blog that inspired me to do this. The first morning was actually the easiest. I’m on day 3 and running out of steam, but I only go to bed when I’m tired. My days are longer, I get more done, my mood is better, and I feel totally accomplished before I leave the house! What’s better than that? This morning I did my laundry, cleaned my room, paid my bills, all before 9:00. I feel great. The trick to actually getting my butt out of bed? For a lazy person like me… I set my phone to vibrate and put it under my pillow. No noisy wake-ups, no slamming the snooze for an hour, no disturbing my roommates. And I feel much more peaceful during the day. Rock!!!
