How to get up earlier in the morning
It made me
joyous and free
 "It was hard, but has really payed off in the long-run."
How I did it: Put your alarm in a place that is most difficult to get to. Also, develop a morning ritual - do things in order. I wake up, eat a quick breakfast, and read a morning meditation book.

It made me
How I did it: I found that the less satisfied I am with my job, the later I stay up at night doing things I find satisfying creatively, and the tireder (and crankier) I get.Not through any real effort, but simply changing contracts to a client I enjoyed working with, and a shift in my working week arrangements meant that I'd often get up earlier than my alarm.It's how enthused I am about what I'm doing that day that gets me up. Read how I did it…

I’m not doing so great with this anymore. Ever since I stopped logging in here, I kinda stopped trying. Shame on me…

Day three...

YES! I have done it. The magical formula for me: set an earlier alarm! Tada! But okay, so it hasn’t been perfect. My goal was to get up by 5:45am, and Monday it was at 5:50. Tuesday – not so great, because our baby girl decided to wake up at 4:30 so it totally threw me off and I overslept until 6:20. BUT, this morning – I was up by 5:50 again! I don’t think 5 minutes later than the goal is so bad. Point is, I DID get up earlier, was not in as much of a rush, and just plain felt good about it.

Seriously. I just DO NOT understand what is SO difficult about getting up only 15 or 20 minutes earlier, so I can avoid that stressful rush that seems so inevitable every single morning before work. I just do not believe I am going to miss those very few extra minutes. I have yet to figure out what is so difficult about this. Monday morning – 5:45am. I intend to be getting out of that cozy, soft, pillow-laden, magnetically warm bed. :/ I can do this!!

I NEED to do this one.
I’m going to bed really late (around 2 to 3 in the morning) and I think it’s stuck with me. I can’t get into bed earlier because I don’t feel tired. For example, if it’s about 12 and I go to bed, it feels like I am going to bed at 7 so I’ll get up and watch TV or so something to keep myself busy.
That also means I don’t get up before 2 in the afternoon, which I hate because it means my whole day is practically gone.
I would love to get up earlier and exercise, have a shower, have breakfast etc, instead of getting up and doing nothing all day.
I’m setting four alarms for 10 tommorrow.

I’m not quite at the 5:00am mark yet, but on a good note – I’ve stopped hitting the snooze button. When the alarm goes off, I get up. I am making a huge effort to get to bed at a decent hour and it’s been a major factor in 1) getting the amount of sleep I need and 2) getting everything done in the morning that I need to make it out on time. It’s a lot less stressful.
Being a lazy bum!!

In preparation for January, when I will be working 7am-7pm. Yikes. Up until now, I’ve always worked second shift (2-10pm). Don’t know how I’m going to manage it. I guess I’ll start going to bed really, really early. I’m the kind of person who needs tons of sleep or I feel like a zombie.
How do you become a morning person in a way that doesn’t involve large amounts of caffeine?
