I loved the warmth of the bed too. I hated the morning tiredness. Get a coffee mug ready in the morning. Go arround in the appartment. You see I have among the tiniest appartments there is, just 23 m² so my tiny space have a bed and a sofa in the same room and such.
Go and get the TV on, if sound makes you awake.
One more thing don't feel bad about yourself. There is A people and B people. The A people are naturals for early mornings and the B person is the natural for a little less early mornings. If you take this in, you will get the feeling that after all there is not the big accident that you have a tired moring. Just focus on the mornings and what you think when you are in the moring. Read the article Steve wrote about this. It is wonderful. Makes you know that you are not a bad person just because you are stupid thinker those 10 minutes in the beginning of mornings.
I don't really have anything to do in the mornings either. I am a student with lots of spare time where my studying time shall be. And my biggest motivation for early rising and getting an day to day rythm is to get my stomach back together so I wont get so much hurt from not being able to empty it like I should do. And probobly this is making my alergic to lactose even worse. So this health issue is really helping me alot.
Try to make a 30 days trial for yourself on mornings. It is hard in the beginning but you get along afterwords.
Just a few words from a beginner who likes the beginning very much....
I pushed my evenings back with just 3 hours. Knowing that less hours in bed would make me get less headache too. So actually I have moved alot of hours arround the day.
I hope my words are inspiring!!!
Love Leelene
