To be an early bird ;-)

I'm a night owl, which always dreams of an early bird. haha..

Now, it's 2:13 a.m.

One of my new-year resolutions is to be a morning person and not to take a nap.

It seems like every year I add it on the to-do list. Of course, I've never made it.

If I go to bed earlier, for example at around 9, I never fail to wake up in 4 hours, which is too early.

If I go to bed at midnight, I can't fall asleep quickly so I get up again to do something.

Then what shall I do?

These days, I'm so confused. Do I have to enjoy staying up late? Or Should I find another way to get up in the early morning? I desperately want to know how to be an early bird.

I think unless I break a tiny bad habit, I will not be able to come even one step closer to my goal.

Comment by Hyunju on March 20, 2013 at 21:34: Thank you very much for the tips, but I'd like to let you know that I read a book right before I fall asleep, and I drink too much milk a day. ^_^; But I absolutely agree with you that computers and smartphones are enemies of deep sleep which always make me alert late night. I should try to stay away from electronic devices at least 2 hours before going to bed.

If you are used to sleeping early at dawn... you are creating a pattern which is repetitive and in which your body will get used to it. Try to drink warm milk at night and have a good warm bath (optional) .... although they can induce sleep but you need to help yourself break that sleeping pattern.

And I agree with Roger......get away from activities that awaken your interest. They will not make you feel sleepy. Listening to soft music or read a book instead of sitting in front of your computer will get you to your slumber.

Comment by Roger on March 19, 2013 at 20:44: Internet, social network, tv, or smarthphone, I'm sure that one of this are the reason, why no? try to read a book, an interesting book at least.
