[quote=Anonymous]You need to wake up earlier before you can go to bed earlier. Set your alarm for the time you want to wake up, and just get up regardless of when you went to sleep. Pick an activity you enjoy getting up for - a cup of coffee and a book, or a workout, whatever. You'll be tired that day. Don't nap. Don't drink caffeine after a certain time (for me its 2 pm). Go to bed early. I second the call for a sleep mask - it really helps. I also set my coffee pot on a timer so I smell it when I am waking up. I know there's a lot of advice about limiting screen time before bed, etc., but I don't do it. I began waking up at 5:15 this spring to make a 6 am exercise class and I had to just begin by waking up earlier. It was tough at first, but now it's second nature. Last night I forgot to set my alarm and I still woke up at my usual 5:15 time!

For me the hardest part is not taking a nap on Sunday afternoon. I always make dinner extra early Sundays so I can get my young kids to bed and crawl into bed early and unwind (for me, that's watching TV).

Good luck![/quote]
