Anyway to become a "morning person"?

[Frivolous248]

Yeah, I made sure to put the buzzer on. Before I had music and that was just...pleasant. Sleeping in to Jefferson Airplane (especially white rabbit) was enjoyable.

I don't think more sleep is the key though...I just really hate getting up. I've went to bed before 12am and then got out of bed at 1pm the next day just because that was the longest I could hold it before having to get outta bed and use the rest room. So yeah, 12 hours of sleep/resting and I still hate getting out of bed.

Frivolous248 Reviewed by Frivolous248 on 03-17-2007. Anyway to become a "morning person"? I've always been quite lethargic in the morning, and lately I keep sleepin' in more than I should. 7:45 is my target wake up, but usually I'll wait to 7:50...7:55 and 8:00 get out of bed. Actually, I should mention that my alarm goes off at 6:55...I've been meaning to get up early to work out but I'm just too lazy in the morning. I've read that cardio can help give you more energy in the morning, how true is that? What else could I do to make waking up easier. Rating: 5

I am really the same way lol. I stayed in bed for 3 hours today since I had nothing to do and nowhere to go. Until I eventually couldn't hold my piss any longer!

dude, take melatonin, its a nattural supplement you can buy at a grocery store, it makes going to sleap easier and getting up easiser

Try to give yourself a reason to want to get up early like going for a nice walk, or jog. Maybe take a bike ride. Nothing beats morning cardio. Also consider eating a healthier diet. Your body may have excessive toxins from unhealthy foods that is causing a disrutiption in your sleep. I enjoy doing a once a month water fast to help increase my energy and rid my body of toxins. Diet and cardio is key to this prob your having.

The best part of waking up is getting stoned. Wake and Bake and you will love mornings quickly.

I'm the same way, Frivolous. Not a morning person at all, and I don't know that there's any way to turn a non morning person into one. Getting enough sleeps helps prevent me from being a total ogre in the a.m., and cardiovascular exercise will definitely wake you up and get your blood pumping, which'll help you be more alert. My problem is I can't drag myself out of bed and to the gym or onto a treadmill when I'm still in the growly wakeup phase, which generally lasts till 10:30 or 11 a.m. for me. A shower and coffee and morning silence help me acclimate. You can try melatonin to try and regulate your circadian rhythms (do a Google on "melatonin" and "circadian rhythms" if you need to). But I'm convinced some people simply don't take to the morning as easily as others. I've been this way since I was a baby, according to my parents.

after 30 years of trying i gave up!!! find a night job we night people were meant to be this way... There's nothing wrong with it other than there are less peeps around at night...

I drink at least a gallon of water a day...

I don't eat a whole lot though. I would eat breakfast but I wake up too late. I always eat subway for lunch though. I skipped on dinner tonight 'cause we had pizza and there was nothing I could find I wanted.

I think I may try this melatonin stuff...

I was never a morning person until I got a job that required me to be there by 6am.

Ever since then, it's cake.
