Usually nature has a debt to be paid. But I get up about 9:45-10am and don't want the day to run completely away. Cat wants to go out and has to be escorted, maybe a package mailed and art projects. Routine is important for us.
I'm So Bad at routine! I've tried and tried so many times. Now, with my crazy sleep issues...went to bed with birds chirping yesterday and woke at 9, but went back to bed and didn't get up until 1pm.
I've been in such a funk for so many months, not even getting dressed, well I've kind of lost hope. If you've any ideas I'd love to hear of your routine <3
I go to sleep at roughly the same time every night, and take my meds at the same time at night too. I get up at roughly the same time. It helps to have regularity like that. I’ve come to naturally fall asleep and get up. The meds may make me really groggy but the routine helps me keep on schedule.
My garden gets me up before dawn because it needs watering and cultivation before I go to work. In the winter it’s my birdies that need me to get up early:) I set my alarm for 4:45 in the garden season and 5:45 in the winter. I almost always wake up a few minutes before it goes off. I also buy very good coffee and look forward to that first cup!

I do use an alarm clock. I have to be down at church early. The regularity helps though.
I'm not a morning person at all
I never was
The only way I can get going early is an alarm and coffee
I'm retired now so I'm usually up late and sleep in til 10 or so
