I've been a night owl my entire life, have been unsuccessfully trying (or kind of trying) for years to shift my schedule to wake up earlier. Whenever I tell myself to go to bed early, I feel like I'm wasting an evening that I will not get back...I know it isn't really logical, but it's strong enough to derail the progress I make. One approach that I've found successful (in bursts) is if I focus on getting to sleep at a reasonable time on Sunday night. This seems to naturally put me in a good groove for the rest of the week.
