I really want to get up earlier

July 22nd, 2009 John Hill Posted in 43things, My life |

Getting up earlier would help me in organizing my time and I know it, so I have motivation. What seems to be missing is the knowledge of that motivation at the moment I wake up…

I like the method by Steve Pavlina. The idea is to condition yourself to get up immediately before your brain has time to protest. It worked for me before and I think I need to try it again.

I want to wake up feeling well rested, so I also need to go to bed early enough and listen some relaxing music. I am already experimenting with classical music and I think it helps (usually I listen power metal or fast trance… NOT good for relaxing).

I also try not to do anything too stimulating late in the evening (like playing poker or exercising). This has definitely helped me sleep earlier.

What else could I do? Oh yeah, no tea or coffee for a while.
