    Default Morning person?

    I HATE getting up in the morning... Hate it...

    I start work at 9am and try to get up at 8am... If I REALLY can be f'd, i'll make a coffee and post on Saddo until 8:30, which is when i'll get dressed for work and head off about 8:45 to get to work at 9am....

    I actually set my alarm for 7am every morning so I have enough time to get up and have a shower and make a decent breakfast, but I never get up.. Ever... I always just hold the alarm set button, and press 1 hour, then back to sleep...

    I wish I could get up, have a shower, have a nice breakfast, and head off to work awake and alert.. But I always feel half asleep until about lunch time when I have my first meal for the day...

    It sux...

    If I for some reason actually have a decent sleep, i'll actually have enough motivation to make some toast for breakfast with my coffee, but it's not often.. It takes nearly every inch of motivation I have just to get myself out of bed when I actually have to.. Another giant dose of motivation to finish up here and get dressed so i'm not late for work.


    Mornings just kill me... On weekends I can't scrape myself out of bed until at least 11:30am... So you can see how difficult it is to get up at 8am.. let alone 7am...




    Do any of you guys actually wake up bursting with energy? Or at least enough energy to take a shower and have a good breakfast and stuff to start your day?

    I can't just do it... A part of not wanting to have a shower in the morning is that it's freezing and I can't barely stand getting out from under my blanket, let alone dealing with the cold while soaking wet... It's just to much..

    What is your morning routine Donny?

    I'm usually up until about 12pm to 1pm so cutting that back might help me...
    That gives me between 7 and 8 hours a night which is what they say you need. But I think I need a bit more maybe..

    Up out of bed by 5.30-5.45.
    Get my gear and work clothes together and drive to the city.
    Grab some sort of food really quickly, usually fruit or an energy bar.
    Get to the gym and gear up.
    Either do my weights or my cardio.
    Sauna, Shower and get changed for work.
    Grab my breakfast in the work canteen.
    Start work, log onto saddo's.

    In this buisness,most of the buisness happens after hours. Most of the guys you negotiate with have their own gyms,so you dont even start negotiating until after they close their gyms. Its kinda pointless otherwise,theyre barking at their fighters while your trying to figure out money and accomadations

    I'm not a morning person, but i'm trying to become one. I reward myself with afternoon naps before training if I do wake up early and either make it to uni on time or go for a run

    I hate mornings and I hate daylight creeping over the shade and dreamscapes I traverse every night. It take me a good hour to fully wake up and seeing my cheery girlfriend all the time just makes me in an even worse mood. Definately the type you don't want to come soliciting to in the morning.

    Same with me. I imagine it will earn me an ambien overdose death but whatever. I just don't like to go to sleep. There is always something better to do. I used to work out at night so I would just physically exhaust myself to sleep but even that doesn't seem to work anymore.

    I wouldn't call it insomnia because if I want to sleep and I close my eyes and I close my eyes I can fall asleep and stay asleep. It's just the want to actually go to sleep that kills me. I can't find it. I have a wonderful bed that I sit upright in mostly, I'll do the most trivial things before finally going to sleep. I'll clean all my shoes, iron my shirts, take a shower, read a newspaper that I already read the morning before, think of something to do on the basketball court, get some weird motivation to start doing something I never have before, organize my index cards, ect. In fact I will usually do at least 3 of these things each night before I go to bed all after midnight. I just hate the thought of sleeping when I don't have to. Thus my mornings are usually at 11 AM. Luckily I only have 2 days of classes where I have to wake up any earlier then that. But that waking up is going to be at like 6 because the classes are at 8.
