Routine. Go to bed at the same time. Reduce electronics before bed.
This is ignorance. It is not the way for many of us.
You can’t make yourself sleep. You can make yourself get up. Force yourself to get up early the going to bed early part will take care of itself.
Oh and you should stop drinking liquids a couple of hours before bed. Unless your a man over 50, in that case if you want to sleep through the night you’ll have to avoid any fluids after Tuesday.
Force yourself to get up early the going to bed early part will take care of itself.
Maybe for you, for me I get exhausted in the middle of the day, and when night rolls around I get a second wind that lasts until the wee hours anyway.
This is not the way.
No drinking definitely helps me.
Ignorance is what helps you.
Pay attention to your sleep cycle, so you don’t wake up in the middle of deep sleep. And as others have said, wake up early the day before so it’s easier to fall asleep
I think I used to use this website to try to figure out when I should go to sleep based on when I needed to wake up. I eventually stopped because I got to where I could figure out 6, 7.5, or 9 hours + 15 minutes on my own (or even 3 or 4.5 hours if I made poor decisions about when I’m going to sleep). It seemed to help.
So far it looks like the consensus is: wake up early and don’t feel like garbage. 😆
The masses do not always have the solution. Genetics is a harsh mistress. We are the ones that take the late watch. We protect the tribe at night. Today, we are despised unless we fulfill the meager agendas… But we are not without worth. Chin up, friends. We may have our day.
Best answer here.
Get up. Don’t fuck around with snooze, those few extra minutes don’t help.
Allow time to reward yourself for getting up. For me it’s word puzzles and coffee before I get ready.
Get old.
for me the difficulty started in my 30s. before that 6:30 am daily with 2 years of 4am. zero problems and no energy drinks or excessive coffee outside of grade 11 and 12 of high school.
My puppy. First thing at 0430, get up, take him out to pee, get dressed, go for a short walk, inside for training (all kibble is used to training), then hand him over to my wife at 0530. That hour really gets me going, but only because I want to give the puppy three best life, which also brings me joy!
Don’t have kids
Go to bed at 8:00 p.m.
I don’t. I’m not a morning person and I’m always garbage if I try to be.
My “strategy” consists of going to bed at a fixed time and a modern electronic alarm clock that is 100% reliable.
One of those sunrise alarm clocks, going to bed more than 8 hours before it goes off, a neti pot or benadryl so I can breath while sleeping. Blackout shades, and an air filter that makes some soft white noise.
There’s always going to bed earlier.
Doesn’t work for everyone.
Some people always go to bed early and wake up early. They complain if they sleep on because it is too far from their natural sleep cycle.
Some people go to bed late and wake up late and getting up early sucks even if they get the same number of hours of sleep.
Some people can adjust. Maybe even the majority of people can adjust. Not everyone is able to adjust.
Biphasic sleep. One 5 1⁄2-6 hour block over night, one 90 minute siesta before work.
I know what biphasic sleep is. But I’m not clear on when you are doing it. Do you get up at like 4 am? For how long?
Or maybe I just need to know when work starts for you?
6:30am-12pm I am awake
12pm-1:30pm I am asleep (siesta)
1:30pm-12:30am/1:00am I am awake
12:30am/1:00am-6:30am I am asleepI work from 2:30pm-10:30pm
