[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So I typically go to bed about 10:30, and wake up at 6:15 (my older kid wakes me at this time). I do morning routine stuff until I leave the house at 7:45.

Its just that by the time I do the cleanup/morning prep/etc. after the kids are in bed, it's something like 9:45? And then yes, I want a few mins to spend with my husband, and also to read or watch tv. To decompress.

Right now, I do all my finances at lunch at work during lunch, because that is when I have time but really, I'd rather just eat my lunch and take a stroll or call my mom. I already only take a 30 min lunch. And I don't work out often enough. Twice a week, I telework, so on those days I get extra time instead of commuting, so I'm able to work out. But that's it. I'd like to up it to 5x/week. [/quote]

[b]If you want to get up earlier, you have to go to bed earlier.  9:45 is very late to have the kids in bed.  If you are committed to it, kids in bed by 8:30, you in bed by 9:30, and up at 5:30.[/b]

[b]I also agree with a PP who said you have to be consistent about it and get up at that time daily, even on weekends.  For me, if I sleep in even once, my bedtime is blown and then I'm back in a cycle of dragging in the morning.[/b][/quote]

This - all of it.
