This waking up early thing is killin' me LOL
Added 2023-02-08 18:08:35 +0000 UTCAs soon of y'all know, I've been trying to wake up earlier this year & every day that I wake up at 8 AM I truly think I'm gonna pass out into a much needed nap by 1 PM! It is tragic! I thought my body would be used to it by now, but I haven't been sticking to an 8 AM wake up EVERY day... Just some days... So maybe that's why? But for my writing post this week I wanted to ask you besties for some tips if you have any for keeping yourselves up throughout the day, going to bed earlier, & waking up earlier. Let my ass know!!! Love y'all & LOVED your input on last week's writing post as well.

I am definitely a morning girly, but had to shift earlier since I work east coast 9-5 in mountain time (7a-3p). I suggest slowly shifting your alarm back in 10-15min increments, respect the alarm (no snoozing!) and have your alarm separate from your phone. The scroll in bed flop is real and makes me a sleepy morning zombie. If you can get some movement and a small snack in too- I'm not super hungry but I have way more energy much earlier if I get a lil snacky +water and like a 10min walk or yoga before work. Good luck on your morning queen journey!

Today I did 5:30 am...nuts, I know. But my energy levels are high throughout the day and I never ever nap. In fact I'm incapable of doing that even if I wanted to 😅 What I do is, I go to bed way early every night. I go to bed at 8 pm with a book, read until 9, do a guided meditation and fall asleep almost right away. Aaaand repeat. I eat dinner early too (at 6 pm) so that I don't go to bed full and it's usually a light meal that involves some carbs in the form of veggies (they help you sleep better). I can go on and on but this is what I do on a daily basis and I wake up naturally at 6 every day without feeling tired. But I also learned, we're all different. Some people are night owls and they do better at night time.
