get up earlier to make the most of the day, and my life

I’m doing this now, but not consistently. I get up at 6 a couple times a week but forcefully so because I have school. On the days I don’t have class, I actually do wake up early in order to extend my day and get more done.

Butttt sometimes I wake up, eat breakfast, get a start on things, and end up falling back asleep 2 hours later. Plus, even though 6 AM sounds early, it’s actually a little late because it only allows just enough time to eat and get ready before I need to run out the door. Perhaps this doesn’t need to be a daily thing.

Probably explains why I’m still awake at 4am doing this!

but thats onlt because I have been going out more – getting in later – going to sleep later.

Not exactly sure I want to break the “going out” cycle just yet.

until I came back from holiday and got really bad jet lag. Plan is to get up REALLY early tomorrow and then go to sleep the normal time so my REM cycle can be kicked into step.

Got up at 5AM this morning – dunno what happened but I woke up really early and decided to get up then.
It was a good move, I feel good although I have accomplished nothing yet apart from making my entire family breakfast felt good being the good daughter for once.

I am lucky enough to be able to stay up late and sleep in late. Why begrudge myself this? I am lucky to be able to do this. Now when school starts again the story will be different. Maybe then I’ll re-adopt this goal.

As an officially unemployed person (whoop whoop) I am finding it very difficult with this goal. Two weeks ago I was waking up at 6:30 now it’s 9:00 if I’m really trying. Mmmm… must try harder!Don’t let this get a hold of me!

Yesterday – 9:30
Today – 10:30 (after a particularly gruelling gym session the night before)

Tomorrow I’m going to try for 9am!

with no school/exams/revision to be done I’m going to bed later and waking up later – not a good cycle, so it stops tomorrow!

although I work at the midnight shift i make myself guilty every morning because i wake up so late. A 11 a.m. half the day is already gone!
