I want to get up earlier in the morning.
The problem is, I don’t want get up early in the morning.
You see, I really love being up early. In college, I even had a job where I got to work at 6:30 am. I loved it. I loved being awake before everyone else, and walking the empty campus halls. It was great. And I know I would love it now. I know I could get a lot done in the wee hours, even, I dunno, get a workout in.
But, I really love to sleep.
And I have tried going to bed early, I really have, but I end up just sleeping until the same time.
Suggestions?
Do I just need to resolve my inner conflict?
Oh, and just so Emily knows, I am not ignoring your tag. I just forgot. Next post!
Ummmm… maybe just do a one-time workout with me tomorrow?

my advice? give it up. Embrace your inner sleepy-head.

When you find out, let me know. I think it’s all those sleepless nights from babyhood — and we think, if everyone else is sleeping, we should enjoy it and sleep too. Instead of doing something VERY productive…

You forgot to mention one thing, you didn’t have kids in college. As much as I would love to wake up earlier to work out, it doesn’t happen they wear me out too much and I don’t have the energy. So if you are committed to waking up early, set the alarm and get out of bed when it get off, no snooze allowed. If that doesn’t work, then I say maybe try when your kids are older.

Have your husband wake you up… He doesn’t seem to have a problem getting up (it’s going to bed on time for him).

You can borrow my child for awhile. She wakes up around 6. If we’re lucky she sleeps till 6:45. So I’m forced to get up early BUT it’s not the same as being up alone.
Any advice on how to sleep in??
