Not A Morning Person

[azure]

I've been trying for years to be a morning person. I've tried going to bed before 10pm but I lay in bed awake for a few hours or so. I have a difficult time getting up before 8am and since I need to get up for work, I try to get my body into waking up early and feeling good about it. It's been several years since I've tried being a "morning" person and every day, I struggle to get up and every day, I am rushing to get out the door.

How do you "morning" people do it?

try going to bed earlier and earlier every night, bit by bit by like 10 mins or something, you will adjust and get more sleep and the more you do it the earlier you should wake, or more refreshed you will feel for getting more sleep

As much as I tried to be a morning person it never worked...

My theory on morning people...

People with simple thought patterns are able to sleep and wake at the crack...

People who think to much,analyze and plan have a much more difficult time at a "normal" lifestyle...

What leads you to this logic Skink?

Just observations,of family and friends... seems the ones who do the same thing day in and day out every day,watch the news at six and go to bed at 7,up at the crack,,,simple life... others,,, entrepreneurial,challenging different tasks each day have a damn hard time getting up...

i can sleep for a couple of hours and wake up refreshed, but i dont like to. i like to sleep for 10-12 hours. for me, sleep is the only time i get any peace inside my head, but my mind fights against me and keeps me awake no matter how hard i try to fall asleep. its been this way for as long as i can remember, cannabis doesnt help, it just makes my happy. ive tried melatonin, i take 4 pills of it every now and then when i really need to sleep but it doesnt work. it just makes my dreams much more vivid and allows me to control them when i do finally fall asleep. i just lie in bed for hours on end until finally exhaustion due to sleep deprivation takes me under. ive given up trying to fall into sleep at a set time and just stay awakem doing stuff because either way i'd be awake so i might as well do something constructive.

I'm a morning person. By the time most of you read this (i know this for a fact because it aready happend ) I will have been up, been to work, and now im getting ready to start school for the day. I say you should try one of three things.

try out melatonin. Good stuff, i use it when i know i have to be in bed, but i don't want to.

Go to bed early. Do you hang out in your bedroom as well? I hear the more time you spend in your bed, not sleeping, the harder it may be to fall alseep. Same thing with being in your room in general, the theory behind this is well, you sleep there, so stay out otherwise.

Get your boyfriend to wear you out. My personal favorite method, everyone wins.

Good luck all of you late risers.

Well...my boyfriend is out of the question as his libido is quite low and he prefers to have sex (usually a quickie) early in the morning and I prefer it at night....I have tried going to bed early and I still wake up tired as shit...whether I actually sleep or not. I've never tried Melatonin...I'll have to check that one out . Thanks.

That's interesting, Skink because my life isn't scheduled and I am faced with a lot of unexpected things everyday. Hmmm.....
