  • How is it that I'm a night owl and possibly the busiest person on the planet and I hate mornings and love sleep?!! Why am I like this... This week I take on the challenge of waking up at 5am for a full week.

    I never used to be a morning person and definitely more of a night owl. But as I get older, it's switched. My body naturally wakes me up at 5:40am on the dot without fail every single day and my family calls me crazy because I'm so high energy by 7am

I got one from Next Level Diet to help me add some muscle and I actually like their plans. Was just wondering if you've heard of or tried any of them yourself. Thank you!

    I’ve found having dogs is the best way to consistently get up at the same time! My husband gets up at 5am seven days a week because the dogs get restless around 4:30am-4:45am. I only get up at 5am four days a week when I have a client at 8:30am. I try to get up earlier on the weekends because I know it’s bad to “catch up” on sleep but my body just knows that we sleep til 6:30am on the weekends. It is great to be able to get in a workout, meditate, and eat breakfast and still have plenty of time to get ready on weekdays.

    You have trouble to wake up in the morning because you don't do it when a sleep cycle ends. One cycle is on average 90 min. Good sleep has 4 or 5 cycles depending on your bio status. Additional Light-alarm should go on 5-15 min. before the actual alarm goes off and it should play something pleasant (maybe with increasing volume). Try to find your personal sleep duration. I can recommend an app if you like.

Zendaya is amazing obviously. And the old ones with Tobey Maguire are worth watching too tbh (for nostalgia and hilarity). If you ever run out of things to watch you should go for it!!

    The optimal manner to wake up at 5AM in order to begin a day will always be to take in time 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil on an empty stomach. In this manner you will not only eliminate the waste in your intestines but all the toxins deposed in your liver too.
