Get up every day at 7am

Oct 2: Success

I had an appointment about 40 miles away at 7:30 this morning, so I had to get up at 6:30, which I did.

Getting up early is great! I like lounging around for a few hours before I officially "begin" my day. I go online, watch the news, eat breakfast, have a cup of tea, and overall, just relax.

Oct 3: 7am exact this morning.

It is nice -- now I have some time to do some stuff before I need to leave for work, instead of rushing off. It adds more time to my day.

I think ill join this idea of 7AM - I set my alarm for 6:30 AM, but dont roll out till after 7, lol...

Heh, that sounds like cheating; but if you make it out of bed by 7, I suppose that is at least consistent :)

Oct 4: 7am again today; feeling a bit tired, though, so I may have to try and go to bed a bit earlier.

Oct 5: Not so well today; was kind of tired, so I lay in bed until 7:10. Not terrible, though.

My schedule will be all messed up this weekend due to travelling...

The weekend was strange because of travelling; had a red-eye to the East Coast Fri/Sat, and slept once I got there; so Oct 6 was N/A for my habit.

Oct 7 (Sun): Made it -- got up at 7 (East Coast time).

Oct 8 (Mon): Got up right at 7.

Oct 9: Lay in bed for a few minutes, but still got up pretty quickly.

Still doing OK overall.

Oct 10 (Wed): Got up within a minute or two of 7.

Oct 11: Lay in bed for a few minutes, got up around 7:10. I need to go to bed a bit earlier, I think.

Oct 12: Got up shortly after 7, around 7:10. I was rather tired, though; so I need to get to bed a bit earlier...

Oct 13: Got up by 7:10; first time I've done that on a weekend without a requirement. It feels good, though; gives lots of extra time to the day.

Oct 14 (Sun): I completely failed -- I woke up at 7, but felt too tired and sleepy, so I went back to sleep until after 8.

Oct 15: Got up by 7:10, but was feeling kind of sleepy still.

Last three days ( 16, 17, 18 ): Got up between 7 and 7:10 each day; still doing alright.

Friday ( 19th ): Got up around 7:10

Today: Stayed up way too late last night; slept in until 9 :o

Sunday: Woke up around 7, but felt pretty tired; stayed in bed until 8.

I've been doing poorly on the weekends; need to figure out how to improve that...

I'm joining late in the month, so my 30 day experiment will have to run till November 20th. I challenge myself to be up by 6AM and out of bed by 7AM. I seem to need to lay in bed reflecting, probably with too much negative thinking, but some of it is "planning." So I am allowing myself the 6 to 7 hours for planning (what I should call it). Then out of bed at 7AM, not any later (though of course it can be earlier).

Thanks for having this thread.

That sounds like a good way to do things, too; time to reflect is good (and I don't think I do enough of it).

Monday (Oct 22): Got up around 7:15

Tuesday: Got up around 7:20. Need to make it a bit earlier...

Oct 24 (Wed): Got up right at 7

Oct 25: Got up around 7:15

Oct 26: Got up around 7:15

i have to wake up everyday at 630 even on weekends for once id just like to sleep and see when ill wake up my body needs it .

I don't do so well on weekends. I'd like to get up at 7, but I feel so tired that I can't help but sleep in; which then throws off my schedule (and I feel kind of groggy for the day). I just can't seem to get a rhythm down.

Oct 27 (Sat): Woke up around 5:30 or 6, couldn't get back to sleep until about 7 (I still felt tired); then didn't get up until 9.
