answer:I’ve dealt with the same issue. If you think you’re a night owl (and it sounds like you are), you’ll need to manage your daily schedule differently and deliberately, and there are a couple of different options ranging from getting up at the same time every day no matter what to planning your day with your changing level of alertness in mind to fitting your schedule to your particular rhythm of alertness. You could also aim for waking up in the shallow end of your sleep cycle. Each cycle lasts about ninety minutes and you’re easiest to wake at the beginning/end of each cycle. So if you’re sleeping 8 hours, try sleeping 7.5 instead to catch the light end of the cycle. Two strategies for a regular “early” morning schedule are to: a) get up early and give yourself plenty of time to rouse, or b) wake up at the last possible minute and cram your morning routine. Otherwise you might want to try not scheduling anything to brain intensive in the morning, but do schedule things like haircuts, errands, etc. Save the brain work for later in the day. Also, stay up late to finish a project. Don’t promise yourself that you’ll do it in the morning. If you look at the language in your question, you’re assuming that “you like to live in bed,” because people are supposed to get up in the morning. What’s probably more accurate is that you’re no less active and productive late into the night (or at least you could be). You’re (we’re) in the minority, for sure, but it works much better to really recognize that it’s not laziness or lack of ambition.
