    Default The key to waking up early?

    This is a serious question ive been thinking about. Most that know me well know that Im really a night person. I could only have 4 hours of sleep the night before, but as soon as 11pm hits, Im wide awake most of the time. However, when I wake up it takes me a long ass time to wake up and be worth a damn.

    To those that religiously wake up way before the sun comes up such as myself, what are things you do to wake up and get going? Some mornings I hit the snooze 10 times.

    well a way to get yourself asleep quicker could be that you dont use enough of your energy throughout the day. do you work out or anything? cause ive been noticing that now that im working out on a regular basis, i want to go to sleep a little ealier than i normally would. which allows me to wake up earlier a little easier as well.

    and then sometimes..when i have to be up real early, sometimes when you hear that alarm, its best to goahead and just force yourself to get up.

    Going to bed by 11pm is the key.

    First, the snooze button is your enemy, move your alarm clock away from arm's reach of the bed. Eventually your body will great acustomed to getting up early. Its hard for me to sleep pass 6 am on the weekends, unless i partied the night before. Another trick i use is eating supper early, 6-7pm, so in the morning i am hunger as hell.

    2 alarm clocks, and having to set the alarm clocks on the other side of the room so you HAVE to get up to turn them off.... it's the only way to ensure my ass doesn't go back to sleep... and even then it's still not 100%

    i would have said that the key to waking up early is having a girl who has to wake up early and can kick your ass out lol or wake you up in a good way at least.

    Two alarms, one set up when you need to get up and the other one wired to a tazer laying next to your balls. i guarantee you'll be up before that second alarm, or at least every day after the first time you get popped

    Like tif said it's all about going to be early.

    If you are a night owl work out at night or do some other strenuous activity to induce fatigue.

    that's what it take to get a pattern going

    might take a little restructuring but hey you'll get it done.

    Nah Mean.

    Do you sleep later on weekends? Start getting up at the same time all week long. Your body will adjust to being up at a specific time no matter what. 7 hrs of sleep is best, but your body can adjust to as little as 4-5 hrs a night. Establishing a routine is key.
