Specifically this summer, I want to be a morning person.
I’ve always wanted to shift my schedule earlier. I love the sunshine and I love doing things outside, and when you wake up at noon there’s just not much time left to take advantage of it.
I think it would be awesome to be a morning person, and I think this summer I finally have an opportunity to do that.
I’m not drinking at all throughout this summer, which will give me several huge advantages.
First, is that obviously I’ll sleep better. Second, I’ll be less likely to slip up and sleep in super late, throwing off my schedule.
Possibly more importantly is the fact that I won’t be engaging in any drinking activities that might keep me up super late. I won’t be go out to bars late at night or staying up way too late doing… Whatever.
This really is the perfect year to finally do it.
I want to be up for sunrises and early morning kayak trips. I want to take full advantage of an entire day, and then go to sleep shortly after the sun goes down.
I don’t know that I’ve ever really tried it before. I’ve certainly tried to move my schedule earlier, but I’ve never kept with it long enough to try something like this.
This is the year to finally get it done and see what the world is like at sunrise.
It’s been going okay. Since I started, I haven’t failed once to get up by 7:30. I still feel like that’s not all that early, though, so once I start naturally having that rhythm I hope to slowly go even earlier.
It didn’t work at all. I thought I’d be able to do it but I never got it going.
