it takes 2 days to change your schedule, that's why we hate mondays, a change on the weekend.

I agree. I thought I was a night owl, but I wasn't. I enjoy being up in the morning just as much as I do being up late at night. My biggest problem was on weekends. I got up early....with nothing to do! I have found that when I get sleepy during the day, it is out of boredom. I have to find something to do that engages me, and suddenly I am filled with energy! So for me, it was finding something productive to do. Don't just get up early just to get up early.

And you do have to go to bed earlier. Most nights, I am in bed by 10pm, up at 530am...and loving it! Never thought I would say that.
