 |  Waking up early
For a while, I have struggled with waking up early in the morning. I generally wake up between 6:45-7:30, but always wanted to get out of bed before 6:00 so that I can do something productive. I was moderately successful, would do it for a 3-4 days and then give up. It always was a struggle more pain than pleasure. Something changed recently, ( I am thinking spending a little time everyday on these forums  You guys are great)) , for the past one week I was up promptly at 5:50 in the morning. INCLUDING THE WEEKEND!!!! Thats big for me. I get up and finish my exercise first thing in the morning. And the change in my energy level throughout the day is unbelievable. I get a little bit of studying done in the morning too, before the kids are up. I love Steve's idea of waking up at the same time everyday, but going to bed at different times only when you are tried. This is working really well for me, and its not a struggle anymore. I am looking forward to everyday with more enthusiasm.Thanks for listening everyone, wanted to share my excitement here |

I'm the exact opposite. My energy levels are greater when i go to sleep later and wake up at around 11:30am. Normally i sleep for 7 hours, going to sleep at around 4:30am and waking up at 11:30 am. On the other hand, if i go to bed at around 11pm and wake up at 6am i'll be groggy for the entire day. I don't know what goes on with me, but for now i gave up trying to wake up early and i keep this schedule of waking up at 11:30 am, and going to sleep at 4:30am (i'm productive for the entire day this way, even after 3am... i only start getting groggy and ready to sleep after 4am)
