I used to get up and run at like 7am but now I&#39;m rolling out at 10 if I&#39;m lucky, and then I&#39;m still tired from sleeping too much! It&#39;s 12... and I just yawned. So yea I should get back in the saddle, especially since I&#39;m starting NaNoWriMo next week.<br /><br />Oh and you have the most adorable writing style...

After reading this post, I decided to set my (phone) alarm (not my heinous buzzing alarm like I usually do) for a few minutes earlier for the next morning. I got up, had a nice cup of tea, visited some of my favorite websites, then got ready at a nice slow pace and still got to class on time! It really had an elevating effect on my mood throughout the day, too. I&#39;m starting to think I may actually be a morning person in night owl&#39;s clothing :)Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12980165247149769585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-53802617574080785282009-11-02T15:29:55.000-06:002009-11-02T15:29:55.000-06:00I got a dog and she totally helps me wake up earlier which gives me more time to do up dishes, throw in some laundry, pick up the house, make my lunch and coffee.

I have to set my alarm every 15 minutes before my wake up time! It&#39;s dreadful and I&#39;ve been struggling so much to be more of a morning person! thanks for the tips! will try them and see where it goes.. maybe after a few weeks time.. i can wake up every 6am to read blogs.. eat breakfast and for once... not having to rush everything!Chocolates n' Naturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12834907432845043928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-91279258913098096062009-10-13T20:25:43.405-05:002009-10-13T20:25:43.405-05:00I never used to be a morning person but I&#39;ve slowly conformed... to the point where I pretty much wake up at 8am on my days off. Sad yes. I used to work in bars but then I got a day job. To ease the transformation, I started off going to sleep with the &quot;Soundscapes&quot; channel on. Its nature noises. In the morning I need need coffee. During my drive to work I listen to fun dance/club music. It puts me in a good mood and brings back fun memories of being a night owl. The only bad part about my switch is that I&#39;m tired at 9:30. I used to not even go out until 11! UGH! What a sorry excuse for a twenty-something!Leilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02813610793710795580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-48144214007169179862009-10-13T13:59:41.941-05:002009-10-13T13:59:41.941-05:00This is insanely helpful.

I think that would be a struggle even for me! I get to work at 7 every day, but my classes don&#39;t start until 8:30. So that&#39;s a good while to drink coffee and (very) casually lesson plan :)Sarah Vonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13714179408766699953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-66800074514573204902009-10-13T09:07:32.507-05:002009-10-13T09:07:32.507-05:00Ah, just so the world knows how unfair life can be: me and the bf are (English) teachers, and ALL SCHOOLS IN BRAZIL (inluding the EFL one we teach at) START AT SEVEN IN THE MORNING. And obviously you need to be there (even) earlier to prepare your classes... So. Not. Fun. (to be fair: they finish a lot earlier too, around 1 PM). Now, I dare you guys to complain about starting at 9 AM ever again!Allinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967086497463957696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-47496479812039592542009-10-13T09:03:09.959-05:002009-10-13T09:03:09.959-05:00Sarah, I thought of you going to work this morning (not in a creepy, stalker way, hey!)! I`ll tell you why: we start at 7 o`clock IN THE MORNING everyday, and as me and bf gave up the car, we had to walk for half an hour to work this morning. Uphill. In a very balmy, stuffy Brazilian spring morning. And we are not morning ppl... *nurses aching lower back and hip area*Allinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967086497463957696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-9090477769737012832009-10-13T06:27:59.800-05:002009-10-13T06:27:59.800-05:00Wow. <br /><br />8am pilates is SO HAPPENING.<br /><br />YES.<br /><br />It is.lovelovelovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08952498076824784896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-10726362377664028572009-10-13T00:17:03.306-05:002009-10-13T00:17:03.306-05:00This is going to sound completely dorky, but since the boyfriend and I have been waking up at 8 AM to get breakfast (college cafeteria breakfast-- nothing fancy), I&#39;ve liked morning so much more. The thought of the cafe possibly serving grits or cream of wheat makes me want to get out of bed.

It wears off fast though, which is good for the people around me. Like a lot of people here, I find it hard to eat in the mornings. <br /><br />Also, I work best at night, which is when all my school work is done. Morning-wise I have to wake up at 6am twice a week, and 7am, the other 3 days. I&#39;m thinking I might just start waking up at 6am every day. Soon though I&#39;ll be moving and I&#39;ll have to get up at 5am to allow time to drive to school.

I made myself complete a 30 day challenge to walke up at 7am every morning. I got SO MUCH DONE that I can never go back. I had so much free time, more relaxed mornings and I fell into a regular schedule for the first time in years.<br /><br />Food helped. I&#39;m a huge food person so I would plan my breakfast ahead of time. When the alarm went off I would think about those applesauce muffins/pumpkin waffles/bowl of strawberries I was going to have and it totally got me out of bed. <br /><br />I work out in the morning too. It&#39;s addictive. If you can force yourself to do it for a few weeks you&#39;ll crave it.

Always have. I remember being in fourth grade and waking up at 6:00 a.m. to get ready for school and make my own breakfast before walking to the bus stop. I usually never even saw another person in the house.<br />In college, I would wake up at 3:00 am to study and do papers before deadlines. I couldn&#39;t study at night.<br />And yes. I am one of those that does my workouts in the morning. <br /><br />I might like to wake up early, but that doesn&#39;t mean I don&#39;t sleep in at least once a month....till 9:00 a.m.besswesshttp://besswess.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-19878378587880859392009-10-12T12:17:01.265-05:002009-10-12T12:17:01.265-05:00This post came at exactly the right time--after a morning of waking up only 20 minutes before class and being cranky! <br /><br />I need to try to get up earlier at least to allow myself some time to get ready, if not with enough time to go on a morning walk!

I am one of those people who bounds out of bed to do yoga and drink tea, much to the annoyance of my teenage friends.<br /><br />I particurly agree with leaving yourself enough time.
