I found the two most helpful things are to go outside within 10 minutes of waking up (even if it's really cold!) and to focus on going to bed 8-9 hours before I want to wake up, whether sleepy or not.
- jrockway 14y agoI don't think any of that is particularly good advice. The best way to adjust is to stay up an hour later every day until you reach your goal. (So if you go to bed at 6am, take two weeks to adjust that to 8pm.) This avoids any sleepiness during the process, except maybe for that last hour. I did this successfully late last year, but ruined it by volunteering to help out at an overnight hackathon somewhere in the middle. Oh well.
- graue 14y agoSeriously? So to start waking up at 6 instead of 9, you should take a 3 week vacation and turn your schedule entirely upside down? Sounds a lot more disruptive than just sleeping/waking 15 minutes earlier each day for a while.
