The Making of a Morning Person (Day 10)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on April 1st, 2006
My body finally stepped in. Woke up this morning at 5am feeling not tired, but actually ill. Angry, tickling roots of a migraine tentacling out from my basal ganglia. Woof. Back to bed, after lots of liquids and ibuprofen. Thankfully, it could have been much, much worse. I regained consciousness a few times during the day, feeling woozy and rock-crusher-headed, focusing long enough to suck back more water and drugs. By the time I was feeling like a real person, it was almost 4pm, and I hadn’t called my lady friend regarding date numero deux.

So it’s 2:37am and I’m heading to bed, again thinking I’ll be up at 5am. I think this is going to be really challenging until something (like, say, my job) forces me to get up in the morning. Because currently, I’m enjoying being up late way too much.

The Making of a Morning Person (Day 8)

Well, the wheels have come fully off, it would seem. I was out late again last night (bedtime after 2am), and couldn’t stay up after turning of my alarm. Worse, when I did wake up (7am), I decided to just have a quick nap and then start the day. But I accidentally hit the “alarm 2” button instead of the “nap” button; so I set an alarm for 6:30am (already past), and woke up at 11:30am. Back to my normal routine.

I’m trying to keep this in perspective. After all, I’m on holidays here, and only short months ago that would have meant my average wake time would be noon.

Strange news to report today. I was indeed up at 5am, but the problem was that I never actually went to bed. So I can’t fairly claim to have gotten up, to have risen early.

This morning, I popped out of bed when the alarm went off (I’m not prewaking yet or anything), but instead of wandering out into the hall and doing my normal thing, I got back into bed and stared at the ceiling. I recognized that this was partially consideration for the fact that my friend wasn’t going to wake up for at least another 2 hours, but mostly it was an excuse to stay in the warm bed.
Only Computers Can Fark Up This Quickly

So I run the program, and while it’s happily scanning and updating my enormous music library, I notice that some songs are suddenly appearing without their album art.

This morning I got up to my alarm at 5am, feeling slightly foggy but not tired. I had several strange dreams, one of which involved me picking up garbage from the parking lot behind my apartment.

Yesterday was amazing. After getting up at 5am, I was able to do a lot of reading and writing, churn through a tonne (metric, not imperial) of household chores, and still go out with an old buddy later in the evening. I did need a nap about halfway through the day– I did the 30 minute nap with alarm, and woke up feeling really good.
