![]() I am the person that stays up till 4 in the morning and then I will have to get up at 8 in the morning and I'll do that repetitively every night, and I'm never tired I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess I'm an early bird because I really enjoy getting up early in the morning taking a good shower and a good early start in the morning but it doesn't usually happen because of my late part-time jobs, but I guess everybody should be an early bird to better in their studies at least students. I can get up early and don't really complain too much about it, so I'm an early bird. I can stay up late and I enjoy doing that now and then but by-and-large, more often than not, I do my best work in the morning. I function the best in the morning, so I would have to say I'm an early bird. I get so exhausted that after classes and sports and things,and then I have a ten minute nap in the afternoon and then at about 12 o'clock I'll go to sleep. I wake up about 10 o'clock, which is quite late, I think, I guess, but when I wake up, I feel really refreshed and I'm ready to go to class and I'm awake and listening to the lecturer, but then by about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I need a nap. I have to go to bed, so nowadays I'm up a lot more earlier in the morning and I think I'm more productive in the morning. I used to be a night owl when I was a student, staying up until about 4 o'clock in the morning, writing essays, drinking lots of coffee but I'm finding as I'm getting older, I can't do it. A night owl personality tends to have creative bursts and extra energy late at night. with my current job, I always have to get up really early, but I still can't manage to get to bed before 1 o'clock in the morning. A night owl is someone who prefers to stay up later than most people at night and sleep later in the morning. I can stay up all night and be fine but getting up early in the morning is always painful for me. ![]() I’d get into bed at 11pm and just lie there and whether I liked it or not, my alarm would be going off at 7.30am the next day.I am definitely a night owl. I stopped bad pre-bedtime habits too – again, no more scrolling on Instagram until I could barely keep my eyes open. I started loving that I had time to myself in the morning before work and didn’t have to race out the door every single day due to my penchant for snoozing. I still used the sunrise clock and it did make it easier to wake up from a deep sleep instead of being jolted from it by my screaming iPhone alarm (something I’ll never go back to, even now). No more doomscrolling the second I woke up, instead I’d drag myself out of bed and turn the kettle on – climbing into the shower for a quick rinse while I waited for it to boil. I allowed myself to make errors but broke up with my worst habits. No seriously, have you got a cig I can nab? I usually have the willpower of a teaspoon. I accepted that it would just take time and that while I might never be as morning-centric as Mark Wahlberg and his 2.30am wake up times, I could certainly make things feel easier by getting into a healthier pattern.įor the record, I’m someone who’s still taking over 10 years to quit social smoking and my own willpower for committing to a healthier sleep pattern has never ceased to surprise me. I committed to the most obvious and annoying answer of all – routine. The fact of the matter was, if I could train myself into unhealthy sleep habits, I could train myself back out of them – and it was going to take effort. Rather than put in hard work, I’d hoped that instant gratification would somehow fall into my lap and I’d be an all singing all dancing morning person throwing back the curtains every morning. What a massive shock – that these quick fixes that I expected to solve all my issues immediately didn’t actually have the desired effect I wanted them to… The ice cold showers I’d been recommended weren’t invigorating as my friend had suggested (I can only assume that they’re a sociopath) and instead were enough to make me want to climb straight back into my warm bed. I was horrified when my snazzy new ‘sunrise’ lamp didn’t immediately turn me into a morning person overnight and that the ‘wake-up’ balms I was smothering my pulse points in as soon as I woke up didn’t have me cartwheeling out of bed. ![]()
