^lol Novice, take it like training for the rest of the week.
we sleep with the windows and curtains wide open, so sometimes my bf wakes up pretty early because of the bright light. but that's just on the weekends, week days are terribly hard for him to get up at all lol

I was a night owl my whole life until recently. It was hard when I was working and had to be in the office by 8:00, but now I wake up around 5:30 or 6 even though I have nowhere to go. The hubs and I both head upstairs about 9:00. It's so weird for me because I used to routinely stay up until 2 am. Aging, pfft.

I used to work as a school bus router for the Broward county school board. I had to be there at 5 am. Hated going to bed early and getting up early.

i'm less of a night owl than i used to be but i still resent having to go anywhere or be presentable before 10am, even if i've been up for hours. i also need a LOT of sleep, as in 7 hours is the bare minimum but i need minimum 8 to really feel like myself. at the start of the pandemic, i went to bed later than usual and slept in since i didn't have to commute anywhere for work but when i started exercising in the mornings, i started enjoying getting up earlier and having free time in the a.m to get up and have my tea, read the news, work out, shower and get dressed and really ease my way into the work day. i also used to waste a lot more time at work in the morning and i would do my serious thinking work in the afternoon, sometimes finishing quite late. now i like to get that out of the way in the morning so that i can leave the lighter stuff like emails for the afternoon. i'm still rarely in bed before 11, but i'm also rarely still up after 12, whereas it used to be pretty common. i aim for bedtime at 11 and up at 7, most days it's more like 11:30-7:30. and i have to set alarms or i'll keep sleeping for at least an hour or two more. i still LOVE being up at night though, it's when i feel like my time is really my time because no one is going to call or message and the whole world is asleep and quiet and dark. during the weekend i'm rarely in bed before 1 or 2, even if i'm just hanging out at home. but these days i rarely let myself sleep past 9 on weekends, maybe 10 if i was really up super late. I think it's the third thread where I say "same" to your post  Minus the working out thing. I tried that a couple of times but I would just lie on my mat and not being able to move. Also I injured myself twice trying to work out in the morning so I gave up. I used to work as a school bus router for the Broward county school board. I had to be there at 5 am. Hated going to bed early and getting up early. It's the worst, no? Going to sleep early and waking up for work or school early makes me think everything revolves around work / school. The evening and night is where I have me-time. |

i feel nauseous if i have to get up before 6. i feel puky until about 9 am and have to drink ginger tea and it doesn't matter if i went to bed early and got the same hours of sleep it's like my body physically rejects having to be up and about before a certain time.

I can relate to this. If I'm off I sometimes wake naturally between 8-9 if I happened to fall asleep not too much later than midnight. But regardless of time in bed and adequate sleep, I don't really feel like I'm worth a shit or functioning on all cylinders until at least 9-10am. I have to be AT work by 8 and truly a little before this if I don't want to be behind. I resent it. Especially since I am usually one of those people who forgoes a lunch break and regularly stays late. I'm trying to break out of this. It's not like the work won't be there for me the next day if I leave on time. I have a few coworkers my age who seem to be able to burn that candle at both ends and stay constantly busy and barely get any sleep. I can't live like this. Believe it or not, people in the health care industry are some of the most unhealthy people ever. After the last 2 years (and after 15 years), I'm almost ready to be out of it. It's mentally and physically exhausting. You're side-eyed (and almost looked at as lazy) for being a person who actually gives a shit about your health and eschews bad habits and needs a healthy amount of sleep or rest. |
