Productivity Boost: How to start your day at 5:00 AM – lifehack.org – I get up rather later than 5:00am, but my problem with this article is that almost all the tips are for how to fight with your alarm clock.
I’ve been living without an alarm clock since mid-summer. Since early January I’ve had class at 8:30am five days a week, and aside from being a few minutes late one day, I’ve had no problem getting to class on time. Waking up naturally feels infinitely better, and I challenge anyone to try it themselves. If you can’t do it, it seems clear that you are not getting enough sleep, and knowing that is pretty sobering.
I haven’t used an alarm clock in years either, it’s so much better. Of course, with my kids, one doesn’t really need an alarm clock, but on the days I don’t have to get them up and out, I’m much happier. 😉
good to know I’m not the only one ;-). people seem so shocked when I tell them…
That’s the whole point of an alarm clock… nobody gets enough sleep.
exactly. which is bad
