Waking at 5am on day 6 - day 8
Day 6 waking up at 5am
Starting to wake up before the alarm goes off, this is a sign that my body clock is starting to adjust to the new wake up time of 5am, By 10 or 11 Pm this is the time that I need to go to sleep.
How does this make me more successful, I supposed I can spend? This morning did not help as its been raining hard the sky outside is dark and black, Today the tv went on for some sound , and the computer came on for some entertainment, there is live channels on tv and its weird watching the same people who are on at this time of day. I am tired, but I'm not going to sleep this one today. Six days I've been getting up really early and all its been so far is just a new experience, I think at the end of this I would have gained the skill of being to get out of bed even when I feel tired and my mind tells me not to. Also struggling of things to do but I struggle when things to do anyway I think just having to get up early rubs this in my face a little more. Because not only am I bored, I'm tired and bored.
Day 8
The last few days the alarm has been going off at 5am but I have been sleeping through it, I have lost most of the initial motivation from this exercise and have found the last few days I've been sleeping more than normal, sleeping till 9am and also going to bed early and falling asleep in the afternoon. So it seems like I have been sleeping more and still not feeling any better for the whole experience , apart from a few days where I got up at 5am , the rest has been worse than before. Going in to the new week I need to come back on this challenge with a renewed energy, the hardest thing about this is I don’t find any reason to get up , when the alarm goes off, I have a goal to wake up every day at 5am which I do , I wake up every day at 5am to switch off the alarm and go back to sleep. I had some really good success for the first 3 days, but now it’s falling apart and my sleep is all over the place.
I wanted to get up early so that I could jog, or look for success, so far I've got up early played computer games and fell back to sleep. Hmm, I find this difficult so much and also very boring. The 5am get up is hard because it’s more of a chore and boring than just staying asleep and having some entertaining dreams.
Waking up at 5am is not hard, if an alarm goes off you wake up to turn it off, but waking up properly takes longer than this, I don’t feel awake when this happens , I fall back to sleep after I've returned to my bed. If I get up and sit in front of the computer, I will just stare at the computer for an hour, my job is on a computer so I'm just working myself before I even get to work. So I need to focus on something else, perhaps a walk or even just look out the window at the sun coming up for an hour while stretching.
