I have two young kids, one is in the early toddler years so we get plenty of early wake ups and other night disruptions
When I wake up, my brain is immediately on — feels like a light bulb.
I think this is partially because my life is otherwise not very stimulating (due to COVID and dead-of-winter) but also because I go to bed early.
Every night asleep between 10-1030. Wake up around 530. Last meal was at 6pm (and no snacks after). No caffeine so my default is the same state I enjoy all day.
Morning run after I drop the older kid off at school, sometimes defer to lunch (depends on how icy it is outside). This is every week day. Settle down for work shortly after that. Work through most of the day, breaking up as I need. Sometimes will catch up in the evening after kids are in bed but I try not to as it can lead to burnout
I feel I get sufficient rest while giving decent inputs to my brain, so it doesn’t have that morning grog.
- pjerem 5y ago> When I wake up, my brain is immediately on Isn’t that biological ? I’m not a morning person and I do generally have a hard time to get up… except if it’s my 4yo calling from its bedroom. When it happens, I feel like i’m waked by an instant shoot of adrenaline.
