I’m always more productive when I wake up early, but it is such a struggle. I like to have some wind-down time when I get home from work (sometimes as late as 11) so its tough to go right to bed. When I don’t absolutely have to be awake Right Then, I’ll lay in bed in that in between awake and sleep for a half hour or more. I know I feel better when I’m consistent and my body can establish a pattern. Thanks for the kick in the pants to get back on track!

[...] I finally learned to go to bed and finish a task in the morning instead of staying up late and fooling myself into thinking I was being productive. [...]

I bookmarked this when you wrote it because I knew that everything you said was true and that I am doing everything you used to do. I knew I needed to make a change. It just took me this long to commit to doing it because it is such a huge lifestyle change. But I’ve put it down in writing for the world to see that I’m going to go to bed earlier and get moving in the morning so now I really have to!

I just found your blog and love this post! I have always been a night owl too, even since I was a kid. It didn’t matter what time my parents sent me to bed – I would stay up reading a book, by moonlight if I had to. I have a work-at-home job, and my ultimate goal is to get my two hours in *before* my little boy wakes up, so I’m not missing out on spending time with my husband every evening. But it’s a struggle. I hate getting out of bed in the morning. If you can do it though, I think I can too!

I have never been a night owl, but now I became a SUPER early bird, getting up at 5am (sometimes even earlier than that) to have some quiet time working on the computer. My 5-year-old only spends 2 hours a day at pre-school, so getting up early really works for me. At night, after I put my son to bed at about 9PM, I’m ready to go to bed myself…LOL Unfortunately, my husband is a night owl – and NOT a happy one, because he resents not spending time with me int he evenings

Good post! I have a confused circadian rhythm… sometimes I’m a night owl, other times I’m an early bird when the schedule calls for it. Either way, I need lots of sleep and do best when I can get enough shut eye no matter the time or place!

I am the ultimate morning person, but I married a total night owl! My favorite time of the day is when my night owl hubby gets up early with me. We can talk without interruption, heaven! I love being up and ready before my kids are awake, it gives me a boost for the day.

I would love to go to bed earlier, but working full time sometimes I don’t get home until after 6. After walking the dog, cooking dinner, doing housework and trying to squeeze some quality time in with my hubby going to bed early is difficult. Maybe if I just left the house dirty a few days and tried getting up earlier to clean then…oy. Definitely something I need to work on…thanks for the encouragement!

I’m a night owl by habit. I had the same thoughts as you: staying up late to get work done after my child went to bed. But my husband and I are trying to become early birds. He’s doing better than I am so far. Last week was good for me (first week of the new year!) but this week I’ve been on and off.
