Changing a habit or routine doesn't happen overnight. It takes a little bit of time and may take easing into the change to make it work for you. Waking up earlier is no exception.

There was a time when just the thought of waking up before the sun rose sent chills down my spine. But once I actually started getting out of bed earlier, I noticed that it wasn't all that bad.

For me, personally, waking up before everyone else in my home allows me to work, respond to emails, or read up on current events without any distractions.

Some people wake up drowsy. Some people wake up energized. I wake up dead.

I woke in the hour before dawn, stuck in that strange state where the memory of your dreams is still powerful enough to motivate your actions.

I do work on a little bit of weights just to get my power up.
