Mornings

[bertine]

I am thinking about spending the month of October getting up at 6am. I am more of a 7:45am person. So, how do I change this?

this is a much easier habit to get into during summer months, when the sun is shining at 6am. :)

i get up at 6am because i like knowing that i have a little bit of down time/quite time and i don't have to rush myself to get anywhere. i think you need to give yourself a mental "this is why this is a good thing" reason. because 6am is never easy.

Could you put it off until the time change to ease the transition? If what was 7:45am becomes 6:45am then it won't feel as bad to move to 6am.

Alarm clock?

You're going to have to start going to bed 1 hour 45 minutes earlier, because the amount of sleep your body needs won't change. This will not be easy to shift to. It may mean a shift in your social patterns, hobbies, etc. Start taking your dinner, and any medications you take, etc, earlier.

All I can think of is the Simpsons episode where Bart drinks a bunch of water to wake up early on Christmas morning and ends up burning the Christmas tree and presents up into a congealed pile of plastic.

So...maybe don't do *that*?

You should buy me a bottle of tequila, because you're going to be so cranky after about five days that I'll have to self-medicate in order to make it through.

you think it'll take 5 days?

October is the longest month of the year. Prepare yourself.
