Just keep going to bed later and later until you run the clock around.
For those actually wanting to do it: you start with the morning, not with the bed time. Regardless of when you go to sleep, gotta force yourself up a the time you want to wake. By the time 10p rolls around, now you're ready for sleep. But you're gonna start off with a very sleepy day.
Wake up on time no matter what, no naps, and follow good bed time hygiene (caffeine, screens, temperature, etc). It will take some time but your body will adjust.
Plus it helps to meditate before sleeping as it'll increase the sleepiness before hitting the bed
The answer is CPAP.
When you get a proper night of sleep, it's much easier to get up in the morning. Since getting a CPAP, I wake up about 8 hours after going to bed regardless of what time it is. Really helps with jet lag, too.
Tell that to my machine. Then again I'm using like 3 year old tubing and tub and stuff... so kinda on me....
Work in a manual labor job so you're tired enough that you actually WANT to go to bed at 10
I wish I got to wake up at 6 when I worked a manual labor job. It was more like 4:45
Yeah manual labour jobs start earlier then getting up at 6 allows.
I'm always blown away by TV shows where everyone wakes up, has a shower sits down makes breakfast and leave for work at like 9
That sounds like my morning when I still had to go to the office... But then that wasn't manual labor.
I usually started my days at 10 and had a non-existing commute
What time would you finish?
18 usually. We had an hour long paid lunch as part of the 8 hour day, but after a while I would start doing a 10 minute lunch and being out before 17. Software Engineering job with great line managers, so the CEO never found out as he was never around anyway, he was in Dubai for fraud and tax avoidance reasons. We were expected to log 28 hours a week onto tasks and if you missed the target 3 or 4 weeks, you had to bring a pizza for your team. Reasoning was, there's no point in micromanaging every minute of an employee's day because a happy employee is a more productive employee.
Left to work at a company that offered me more variety in tech stacks and even more lax rules about hours, working location and everything, with a better salary (honestly a LOT of money to me at the time)... Got shitcanned in my probationary period because I got together with a girl who essentially didn't let me work at all and ruined my entire life. She got pregnant real quick and after that everything I did was an issue, including working during the daytime when she wanted to nap but her child needed attention. Or in the evening when SHE wanted attention. I was allowed to work starting 2 AM essentially. It was so visible externally how she was destroying me, the CEO literally said if I ever drop the bitch and get my shit back together, I should give him a call to try again. I have not yet, but now I'm considering it, just need to go to court with my ex first, so I know exactly what our custody agreement will be. Right now, she's breaking our existing agreement that was agreed upon by ourselves, not assigned by the court.
Damn that took a turn, sorry for what's happened mate.
The best thing that happened to me was the ability to manage myself too.
As long as all the customers are happy and everything is working there was no push back from my boss.
What it showed me was if I can do it for someone else, I could do it on my own. So now I have. Run my own company been in business 1 year tomorrow with never not making money while paying myself a reasonable wage every week.
You should call that ceo though, sooner then later. Might not have room for you today but it shows interest and in 6 months they might be looking.
Don't become a morning person.
Their time will come.
After decades of thinking I couldn’t do this it was rather easy in the end. I just started being more consistent with bedtime and not napping.
I also got into running, rock climbing, and being outdoors more often. Now I wake up before my alarm.
Have a child and work in a factory. That did it for me. I used to be a 2pm to 4am kinda person.
I'm reading this at 11pm so don't ask me
3:30 am here
Honestly, they day just knocks it out of me. I'm literally in bed by 9:10ish and don't really fall asleep until sometimes around 10. Commuting an hour each way just really sucks any life out of me.
Have kids
Unironically, touching grass is how you can do this.
Going camping for several days without screen time can help reset your circadian rhythm to normal.
Drugs. No seriously. Functioning like a normal human requires drugs. Oh and lots of therapy. That helps two
That helps two
Who else is it going to help?
The therapist's bank account, assuming you're going to a private one and not one through a socialized healthcare program
Step 1) Exit Puberty
Step 2) Have a real socio-economic incentive to get up at 6am.
Step 3) Stop drinking caffeine after 4pm. Stop drinking booze after 8pm. (Stop drinking booze entirely, even)
Step 4) Gene Therapy
Step 5) Find out if you snore. If you're snoring, you're not going to get enough sleep during the night, which will make you groggy af in the early morning.
Step 6) At 6am, when your alarm clock goes off, it helps if you really, really, really need to pee.
Explain 4 please. And with 5, if you do snore, then what? How do you solve it?
5 is a sleep apnea thing. i snore (very lightly unless i'm congested) but don't have sleep apnea. snoring can be an indicator, but there's not a 1:1 correlation
Some people are just genetically nocturnal. I had one grandparent who was early to bed. Everyone else in my family is somewhere between 12 and 2 am. As we get older we seem to need less and less sleep though. By 70, my nan was averaging 4 hours. Up to bed at 1, up a 5am to teach her 6am colege classes.
My other grandma slept 3x 2 hour bouts thought the day my whole life. 2hr nap around lunch, another after dinner, then shed be up til 2am, and 'go to bed' just to be back up around 4am. I think that had somwthing to do with her living most her life off the grid and having a wood stove got heat her whole life.
Step 6. Got it just drink before bed but then still have to piss middle of the night and then refill bladder mid night.
Step 7: as soon as you get up, eat a meal. It helps set your internal alarm clock.
Sorry I literally cannot. It makes me feel sick if I eat less than 1-2 hours after waking up.
9pm: Welp, better start winding down.
10pm: dishes done, everything’s ready for tomorrow.
11pm: let me do one or two things on project #####.
1am: shit i need to wrap this up
4am: dangit
Get a dog. I'm now forced to get up early to take it out, otherwise it will pee on my bed.
(Do not actually get a pet if you cannot take care of them.)
Also, children will do this to you.
(DO NOT actually have children if you are just trying to wake up earlier.)
A tamagotchi will also do this.
(DO get a tamagotchi if you are trying to wake earlier)
Here's the one trick that normies don't want you to try : Skip one night of sleep and go to bed exhausted between 8pm and 10pm with the curtains open.
I then started having a shower in the morning before work and playing 2 hours of games.
I did this many, many times during my struggles with non-24 sleep disorder. I would repeatedly stay up all night in the hopes that I would be tired enough to go to sleep at a reasonable time the next day.
Typically, one of two things would happen: either I successfully go to sleep at a somewhat early hour and then sleep for a few hours before waking up in the middle of the night unable to sleep, or I would feel tired in the early evening but try to hold on until I get to a normal bedtime and by that point I was no longer tired and I'd stay up late again even after being awake well over 24 hours.
Ultimately, my solution was to work on my own projects for a year or so (not something most people can afford to do). I ignored all requirements around sleeping and just slept when my body told me to. I kept windows uncovered and gradually, the sunlight started waking me up at a proper morning hour. For the first time in my adult life, I have a normal sleeping schedule and confidence I can be at my job on time. YMMV, but getting natural sunlight at the same time each day is huge as a circadian rhythm reset.
You need a job that starts at 7
Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy but socially dead.
Get a cat, play with the cat or give it a treat at 9 pm. The cat will enforce bedtime
It was the fucking worst but I started waking up early every day and then I added running to it. After about 6 months I fully transformed into a morning person. The second I retire, I'm going back, I miss the night.
This just happened naturally to me as I got old…
Same, I can't wait to get out of bed in the morning. No use laying there awake when I can have some quiet time for myself with a cup of coffee.
Picking up birding as a hobby is a great way to get up early. The best shots are right after the sun comes up and right before it goes down.
You need go to bed at 8 PM and get up at 5 AM though
