10 years ago, I'd snooze until the last moment and then rush to get ready on time. No idea why; just couldn't force myself out of bed.
Today (including, literally, this morning) I'm awake at least 15-30 minutes before my alarm goes off. Wake up ritual is basically:
I think the change was realizing those extra 20-30 minutes of sleep (if I could even get back to sleep at all) weren't going to make me any more awake when I do have to get up. Then it was just a matter of figuring out how to use that time effectively.
Yep, I used to snooze to the end.
It's so much easier to just get out of bed, and while I don't rush to do things, I get to slowly wake up and take my time getting things started.
That's now me time, to do as I wish. Now work is something I do second.
I wanna get right out of bed sooo bad. I do it when I think I am late. So... I should be able to any time... maybe. 😁 I mean no adrenaline when I know I am not late... so maybe not.
