How did you become a morning person?

Get a puppy. Puppies have no respect for our sleep patterns...or our carpets. Since adopting my two pups, I have been getting up between 5am-6am every day.

When I stopped eating grains and flour all daytime sleepiness disappeared. I don't drag myself out of bed anymore. When I sit up I am wide awake.

This is a first for me and I'm 41 years old.

Plus I don't eat a lot during the day. When you're eating every few hours your body is spending the entire day digesting food. That will wear it down. My biggest meal is at night. If I eat a lot through out the day I have a harder time getting up the next morning. I don't know why.

You can also look into how good your sleep is. Quality of sleep is very important.

I'm still a night owl. I get between 6-7 hours a night and I feel great.

Like Lady Gaga says "I was born this way"

I have to giggle about the people who say have a baby, just cause you are up early for whatever reason, doesn't make you a morning person ;]

I' ve always been a morning person, but then I'm sort of a nightowl as well. Makes for little sleep! I think its genetic!

It takes time for your body to adjust to a new sleeping pattern and it will take time for you to get use to waking up early. I was never a morning person and made myself one over the summer when I started my job after graduating from college. I get up at 5am each morning to go to the gym before work so I don't have to worry about doing it afterwards. All I want to do after work is go home and relax. Also when your alarm goes off early in the morning turn on a light thats bright on a nightstand right away. I also set a timer on my tv to turn on at 5 am so it wakes me up more. I am still struggling some mornings but these methods have worked for me.

I have always been a morning person, it runs in our family. I'm not sure if it's possible to change. I do know that it became alot easier to get up and I had alot more energy when I started exercising every morning.

When I made the commitment to exercise every morning before work, I HAD to get out of bed early! If I don't exercise before I go to work, it is next to impossible to work it in after work. The BIG thing that has helped me is having an email accountability group....when I am laying there trying to talk myself out of getting up, I remember that I have to email my group and report that I did not exercise that morning...accountability goes a long way in motivating me!!!
good luck!

Honestly I got tired of telling myself I would do it tomorrow. So I started getting up in the am to workout. It is the only way that I can garentee a workout. Now that I am use to it, sometimes it is harder for me to go other days. I love it.

Im exactly the same!
If left naturally my sleep pattern will change so i wake up about 8pm and go to bed about 6am..
Yes i sleep for like 14 hours at a time..

And people always tell me to like turn on the light and stuff to wake up,
but i just find during the day i can sleep really easily.
The sun is like soothing through the certains, and its nice and warm, while being breezy and the birds singing n **** just send me straight to sleep.
Whereas at night, when its cold, and all you can hear is that high-pitched buzz, which i imagine comes from the phone lines, (which you normally cant hear over the cars in the day), it just like gets me up.

Besides i love going for walks at night, its just like soothing. Whereas during the day its kind of stressful..
It just prefer to be up at night...

and i find theres nothing i can do about it.

Going to bed a bit earlier, drinking lots of water throughout the day and keeping my blind open a bit so I wake up with brightness. Always makes me happy!
