Default UK early riser group

Hey guys,

Don't know about you, but I find it hard to be consistent in my early rising. I succeed every other day usually, but it's been 3 days I haven't been able to wake up as early as I want.

So here is the idea: why not set up an early rising UK group of 3-5 people; every day, someone is on duty and makes sure all the others are awake. Is anybody interested?

Ben

Phone call is what I am thinking about, yes. I am happy to share my number (not publicly on the forum, in private of course) for this purpose.

Default Early risers

I am embarressed to say that my usual wake up time is at ten to eleven a.m. I do work a lot late in the evening and can be back from work around one am. then I find I need to eat something and read or write till about three a.m.

I would like to be able to fall asleep faster on getting back from work and to wake earlier. Ideally between 8-9 am most days would be good.

any idea's how to achieve this? I find myself my most alert at night, am I just an 'owl' rather than a 'lark'. Also when I wake up I am generally a bit grumpy for at least an hour wheras at night I am good humoured right till bedtime.

Is trying to be an earlier riser going to benefit me? Also how can I stop myself coming 'awake' at night. I get lots of idea's then too.

Cheers

R

If i wasnt a shift worker i'd get in on this, do you guys wake up early and then stay up late or work up early then go to bed earlier, i.e keeping the same amount of hours in states of sleep and awakeness?

This is the way to do it.

Flying Alarm Clock

When the alarm sounds the propeller is launched up into the air & flies around the room. To turn off the alarm you'll have to get up, find it & return it to the base.
