Columnist Writes About Early Starts
Happy September! My latest column is about early start times. I recently had an appointment at 9 a.m., which may not seem all that early, but when you factor in transportation and showering and everything else, I had to get up at 7:45. I wanted to explore how getting up early affects my health and well-being!
How do you feel about early morning appointments?

Even though I’m not a morning person and prefer sleeping in, I don’t mind them if I’m waking up around 7:45 just because I feel like I have more time in the day. However, waking up at 4:30 in the morning for injection day is a special kind of hell I wouldn’t wish on anybody hahah.

I am complete oposite:)
I like going to bed around 9 or 10 pm, and getting up between 5 and 6 am.
Few months ago on a podcast on productavity I heard a guy say something like ” I get up around 6 – 6:30 am, but I guess everybody is different” ; than the woman replied “I know quite a few people who thought they are not morning person but than it turned out they are, on the contrary I am not sure if I know anybody who realized they need to get up later . ”
Over the last 20 years I experimented a lot with sleeping routine, and I am very grateful pandemic enabled me to finally push back to this very early going to bad/getting up. Hopefully the pandemic will stop and I will still be able to maintain this:)
Changing sleeping routine is definitely not easy, it should be done with certain tactics, but if you want to be more efficent and you don’t care so much about night-life I think it is worth it.

That’s great, Losmi! I love the idea of getting up early, but I never seem to be productive when I have an early start. I’m definitely an afternoon/night person.
