- ddorian43 8y agoHow much is increasing exercise ?
- fratlas 8y ago1-2 hours of moderately intense exercise
- gubbrora 8y agoI grew out of it without doing anything in particular
- CalRobert 8y agoA hard cut of caffeine after 10:30 AM, cutting blue light (and screens if possible) after sunset, and if nothing else having a kid can do it. Or, try camping for a few days. Try not to look at your phone after sunset.
- dsego 8y agoCamping is like an immediate fix for me. You just naturally wake up with the first rays of sunlight.
- kaybe 8y agoI think it also helps a lot to move around all day (as one does while camping). I feel so much better.
- hutzlibu 8y agoOr leave the phone at home or at least do not turn it on, unless you need to.
- NTARelix 8y agoI used to have trouble waking up too. What worked for me was having a strict morning routine that I followed the moment I woke up. I found that sleeping 10 or 12 hours wasn't uninterrupted; I'd often wake up briefly in the morning, realize I was very tired, and quickly fall back asleep. Once I had a morning routine, it became my first priority when I woke up to fulfill that routine and would allow me to pull myself out of bed earlier. Typically my routine is to get ready for work Monday through Friday, but this habit of waking up when I've finished sleeping without an alarm also persists through the weekend. If I stay up later than usual then I'll often wake up at the usual time and just sleep a little less, but sometimes I'll sleep a bit longer. Either way I still feel very tired breaking out of my schedule. I'm also lucky enough to have an employer allows a relatively flexible schedule so I could experiment with this for a while.
