Been Getting Up Early

[lucidblue]

Well actually it's just that I can't sleep. I've been waking up around 5am. At first this was really bothering me, but I'm starting to think this is a really pleasant time of day. It's even peaceful outside in the city this time of day, especially now that it is getting warmer.

I may have to start getting up early on purpose, even though I'm more of a night person.

I don't have a problem sleeping in if I want to but enjoy getting up early. Especially in the summer, go into work nice and early when things are still quiet and then take off nice and early too.

I like getting up early too, it is nice to have done all you gotta do by 1pm and have the rest of the day free.

I'm extremely tired because I couldn't fall asleep until after 2am, but maybe I can try to get myself into a new sleeping pattern. It would be great if I had the energy to get up and go to the gym early.

Yep, even on the weekends I'm usually up by 7:30. Get things done for a nice afternoon siesta.

I wish I could get up that early on the weekend. I just usually end up staying up until about 3am... I seem to be much more productive at night. I may have to give getting up early on weekends a shot. I feel like my weekend is wasted when I sleep too late all the time.

That's pretty much what started it for me when I was like 22. I used to sleep 10-12 hours. Well up into the afternoon. On the flip side, even if I go out and get smashed and drag myself in around 3-4 in the morning I'm up by 9:30. I'll feel like shit but I'm up.

I am exactly the same way. Very regimented in my sleeping patterns.

Maybe it's the 'over 30' thing.

yep LOL it must be. Cuz im very structured with my sleeping. I go to bed same time every night at about 9 or 9:30. I sleep till 6 or 6:30. Been doing this so long that now i get very tired right at 9pm. Your body gets used to this. Even on weekends its hard for me to stay up late cuz ive been up since 6:30 am.

I get really bad gas if I'm up before 7.

That's about what time I go to bed during the week. And wake up about 5:15. Makes it a bitch on Friday evenings.

I've been getting up at 5 or earlier for almost every weekday for the past 2 years. The weekends I love to go get things done by 0800-1000 b/c all the other Marines are sleeping off hangovers. No cars, no people, just silence. Must admit when I'm on leave I miss hearing helos, morning and evening colors, taps, and cadence though.
