Anyway to become a "morning person"?

[Frivolous248]

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.

I use to be a morning person. Now I can't wake up. I use to wake around 5am everyday. Try going to bed earlier. Also try waking up just 5 minutes earlier everyday. Then eventually you can wake up when you want. I find showers help wake me up since my eyes normally burn when I wake up. I woke up earlier TO DO cardio and excercise a little. You might want to try something like that, it will help give you energy for the morning. After that you can smoke a bowl of a nice sativa and keep your day moving!

put the alarm out of reach. if you actually have to get up and out of bed to turn it off, its a lot more effective.

The problem is I can't go to bed earlier. I'm an insomniac, I go to bed a little earlier than I used to (an hour or two) but I've tried to go to bed at like 9 or ten and didn't fall asleep until even later than usual.

I already take showers in the morning too. For about a week I woke up early to work out (not cardio) but it didn't help much.

I've done the alarm thing before, but I'd really wanna have energy to get out of bed.

I think I'mma just permanently move my alarm across my room for now. Maybe if I do some cardio that'll help after awhile.

When I say I'm sluggish in the morning, what I really meant was that I have a trouble getting up. Once I'm up I'm fine, but like I said, I've been laying in bed awake for an hour procrastinating to get out of bed.

have something important to do in the morning. on weekends, I'm responsible to walk the dogs and if I don't I get in trouble, so I get up and do it around 7 (I don't WANT to get up any earlier than that... and on weekdays I gotta get up at 5 for church class in the mornings (I pick my battles)

PS: I know walking a dog doesnt sound really important, but to me it is, and I like to save getting in trouble with my parents for big things so they don't stack up stuff.

That's how I am! I'm an insomniac too! I can lie in bed and not sleep for hours. Smoke a bowl before bed, and you will be asleep in no time. Also yes, making the alarm farther away hjelps. Plus i have multiple alarmds go off at different times, ussually the last one is the one that gets me up.

or your willing to sleep through it...which I have done, even with the alarm within reach, hey, I said I was very lazy!

I put it on my dresser though, and turned it up all the way.

Also, I do have something important to do. Go to school. The problem is I've learned I can get away with getting up at like 8:10 and still barely leave on time. I leave at 8:30 and the only real things I do is take a shower, get dressed, brush my teeth.

edit: I always smoke before sleep too. But I've become somewhat immune to its somniferous effects. I usually only get tired to the point of passing out when I smoke a lot...and I'm not willing to smoke my stash away for an earlier bed time.

Omg im such an angry morning person...actually any time I have to wake up. I get violent and mumble awful things....ive always been like that though.

You just have to change your sleeping patterns. Every night, go to bed, 10 or 15 minutes earlier, and in a couple of weeks or so, you can wake up an hour or two earlier if you want to.

Another thing I found was great to get up, was to move my alarm clock out of reaching distance. Not only that, I didn't put the radio alarm on, I put the buzzer on. I had to get up to turn it off, otherwise I would have to lay there enduring the buzz of that damn fucking clock.

Then when you're up, don't go back to bed.
