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.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . 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
