How do you start waking up early? Always been a night owl and sleep around 1. Wake up at 8/8:30 right before work starts.
I need to start waking up early to get into workout /yoga and meditation routine. I tried today and kept snoozing my alarm for 2 hours.
Weekend is way worse when I sleep around 3 wake up around 10/11

Probably not the healthiest habit but to start waking up early, I started taking preworkout as soon as I wake up. Knowing I won’t be able to physically sleep gets me out of bed

funny

You need to shift it in increments, not in one go. Over a course of weeks, go to bed 15 min earlier and wake up 15 min earlier, then 30, then 45.

When you wake up, get sunlight in your eyes outside as soon as possible

When it’s the weekend — sry babe but you have to maintain the same schedule. That multi-hour difference is probably wreaking havoc on your wake/sleep rhythm and contributing to grogginess

I have observed the same. When I sleep with blackout curtains I am up before the alarm and relatively fresh.

Is it possible to push back the rest of your day a bit and start the yoga / workout routine at whatever your normal wake up time is? I’ve found it hard to change sleep schedule but shifting the rest of the days schedule seems doable

I actually could do that. I don’t mind working till late and don’t have any meetings before 10

Are you me OP? Struggling with this exact same thing :/

Trying to do this as well. Currently wake up around 7:30am and cannot for the life of me convince myself to wake up at 5am.

Go to bed earlier
