I have this habit of being tired in the morning and just wanting to hit the snooze button for an hour (or more). Part of it probably is related to the fact that I don't HAVE to be up at a certain time...it just means that if I get up earlier and go into work, then I get to come home earlier. I am a night owl and I really fight this early morning stuff, but it works better with Larissa's schedule and i'm going to have to do it soon enough if I want to commute with her to Boeing every morning. I guess I just need to get over it and get up when the alarm goes off, right? Easier said then done. Sometimes I just feel so tired, I just want to keep sleeping....even though I wake up every 10 minutes when I hit the snooze button...that can't really be good sleep, I know...but it feels so much better.
The last few weeks or so I have been waking up briefly at 5:45. Not every day, mind you, but several per week and its almost always 5:45...not sure why. I think I heard somewhere once that you should get up when you wake up like that and not go back to sleep because it will make you more tired and make it even harder to get up later. I suppose I should start trying that.....maybe it actually works....who knows.
I woke up again today at 5:45 and although I didn't get up right then...I did get up at about 6. I even rode my bike to work today and got in by 7. Not to shabby. I am even pretty alert and awake. Maybe I should try this more often....
