Rec | STOP SLEEPING MY MORNINGS AWAY

🐔

Rec'd on 🌙 Biggest goal for 2025

I sleep way too late and spend so much of my time groggy and butthurt about missing the morning. I want this to finally be the year where I wake up at a reasonable time (read: not 10:30am) and have hours to myself to read, stretch, and just hang before I start my work day. Because I work PST hours from New York (and live with a night owl grad student), I have no forcing function to give me any sense of discipline beyond meeting my lax work requirements. But most nights past 1am I’m many pages into Google reading the same tips to become a morning person and capitalize on the free mornings I could have with my shifted schedule.

10am most days, but anything earlier is a treat

I’ve struggled with sleep maintenance my whole adult life and have been working PST jobs from the East Coast for years now, so both naturally hopeless and lacking your standard external motivators to be conscious in the “single digits.” I actively want to change this so that I have time to myself in the morning to read/exercise/just chill since I work later into the night, but has never been something I can consistently rewrite. In any case, I have the luxury to drink coffee and read for a bit in bed before starting my work day, but wow if I master mornings I’d have hours…

WAKING UP EARLY

I used to be such a morning person and I’m trying to get back to that. It’s much harder in the winter but I feel more encouraged by the changing of seasons. I feel such much more at peace when I have time to myself in the mornings before I need to rush to work. I can stretch, write, read, watch an episode of King of the Hill lol. The hardest part is peeling yourself out of bed, and then you‘re rewarded by time and quiet.

doing more stuff in the morning

a couple years ago my friend would make plans with me ~9-10am and we'd stop hanging out at 2 and go "holy shit there's like, a whole day left" even though we'd already been going for four or five hours which would not feel true if we started at say, 11-12 recently have been trying this new thing where i shift my working hours forward so i'm online from 7-3 or even 8-4 instead of 9-5 and it's similarly liberating; it's just rewarding to take back your own time a little bit and feel like "because i woke up earlier there's more time in my day"
