I have been struggling getting up early ever since wfh started. I barely got out of bed at 9am this morning and am still very tired. I'd rather pull a 10-9 day rather than begin at 8:30. Anyone else?

I’m 10-4 these days, no joke

feels this. I was a 5:30am gym goer M-F and now I’m sleeping till 7/7:30 and still very tired. I find that I’m actually getting too much sleep and I think that’s the cause of being over tired. I tried going to bed a little later now and waking up at 7/7:30 to average 7-8 hours instead of 9+.

This is going to be hard for my routine when things go back to normal, but I just can’t see the value in waking up at 5:30am without a gym to go to🥺.

Continue to wake up at 5:30 and sit in one place to psych yourself up until 9:00 and have the mindset to crush the day. But you need to get up at 5 to get in the zone

That’s a wild aged pack you’ve got there. Hopefully they’re not waking you up in the middle of the night or yelling “time to wake up!!” from their crib at 5:45 am...

Same boat but honestly nothing can take away my 8 hours of sleep ✊🏼

Why does 9am matter as long as work gets done?

For me, getting up at 9 means sleeping early.
I've had a harder time sleeping but fixing exercise and diet so that I'm not still pumping sugar at 10:30 has helped in spades. -- too little energy expenditure locked indoors.

Sorry to hear that OP :(
I used to be BDO, and luckily avoided such managers but definitely know that happens..

My entire body aches and am tired even if I sleep 9+ hours. I work with multiple time zones so morning is prime time for meetings. I typically work 8-6 or 8-8pm and am mentally and physically drained but diet plays an important factor. I need to switch to more lean protein and vegetables versus multiple heavy carb meals and enforce frequent breaks to stand up, do some quick exercise.

Im pulling 8-3 these days

I’m with you. I’ve never been a morning person, so having nothing *making* me be in front of my computer by 8:00 is making it hard to get out of bed. I was doing okay until this week, but the last two days I’ve stayed in bed past 9:30. I’d much rather work later in the day, and I’m more productive when I do.

We've all been forced to work a schedule that only comes naturally to some so I don't think you should feel too bad about it. I'm a night owl, always have been. Ive been starting a bit later, taking mid day breaks when it's nice outside and then logging on for a few hours in the evening. If you don't have a meeting at 8am, then have a chill morning.

I'll log in to make sure I don't have any urgent emails but then take time to enjoy my coffee and sit for a bit or do some yoga before I start my work day.

Since being on lockdown I’ve noticed that I used to get up every morning at 5:30 or at the latest 6 o’clock and I always thought that was my natural rhythm but now I find that sleeping till 730 is more my natural rhythm. I know that most of us want to be in front of the computer by 8 AM, which I am, and I usually work until six or seven pm

Totally. I have a recurring block on my calendar from 12AM–8:30AM and basically decline meeting requests within that window with very few exceptions. Even 8:30 feels too early for me but at least I’m cutting out those 6am calls with the East coast/Midwest.
