As a teacher, I get up at 5 a.m. during the school year. Usually a week into the summer I am already sleeping until 10… I will make a change this year and carry over my work sleeping schedule into the summer.

I have always gotten up early love the mornings. I am usually up by 4:00am and get a few things before work. I am 48. I am in bed evry night not later then 7:30pm, unless I go out which is only weekend. It is important to keep your same bed time every night. If for some reason i feel tired I may go an hour easlier. I live with parents still so no wife or kids makes it easier for me

I can count the number of times that I woke up before my Dad. For over 30 years he has been waking up at 5 in the morning to go play basketball. The part that surprises me the most is that is that where ever we have lived he has found other guys that are willing to do the same thing, ( I hope to find a group of guys to do the same thing, only soccer instead of basketball). All my life I thought my Dad was crazy. As a teenager I was not a morning person. I recently turned 25 and I now love getting up early in the morning. I have made it a habit to wake up each morning at 6. I don’t have to be in the office until 9 (I show up at 8:30 because I’m an intern and I want to be there before my boss). This gives me plenty of time to go to the gym, come home and shower, and make it to work on time. The extra hour or so in bed is not as rewarding as getting up and making the most of the morning.

Having a dinner minimum 2 before going to bed will help to rise early.

I have no idea how I got on a website called the ‘Art of Manliness’ but I actually really liked what this said. During the school term I wake up at 6, so now I will try for 5 and do exercise in the morning. So then I feel energised and not sluggish

Good Inspiration. Many of my US clients are early riser. From now I will be early riser too. Thanks!

I had a friend who ended up on house arrest right after high school. He kept sleeping in later and it was starting to make him feel depressed. It got to the point where I would be getting off work at 4 P.M. and he was just getting up. I suggested he keep going with it by getting up an hour later each day until he was actually back to getting up early. He eventually settled in on getting up at 4 AM. This approach only works for people with no jobs or responsibility that revolves around a schedule.

I tend to hit my pillow with my head to count the hour I want to wake up at. For example, hitting my head against my pillow for four hours = 4am
