The Morning Person
6:00 AM: Alarm blares. "okay. I'm awake. I just need a few more minutes." Hits snooze.6:05 AM: Snooze. "ugghhh...a few minutes more." Hits snooze again.
8:00 AM: "8?!" gawks. mouth hanging open, realizing I'm late for the first class.
I used to be the morning person, feeling more optimistic and proactive for the rest of the day. I like to watch the sunrise and feels that I have more time to do things without cramming and get ready for the class.
Many morning people feel energized after a full night's sleep and can shake what few cobwebs remain by taking a bracing morning shower. They often find the early hours are also ideal for taking care of routine matters, such as email correspondence, household finances, and reading the newspaper.
As a morning person back then, it feels like I'm more productive and get a lot of things done. I really like to do some exercises in the morning rather than in the late afternoon. But since I got into college, I'd become the night owl type of person who stays up late just to finish my plate. In Architecture, it's not a news anymore. Most of the time, we only get 2-4 hours of sleep a day. It felt like we don't always have a time for our personal and social life.
Luckily for this semester, most of my classes starts in the afternoon which gives me more time in the morning. Lately, I've been trying to get back into my old routine, waking up early in the morning and do some exercises. Every time I try to wake up in the morning, this is what always happens: Alarm goes off, hits snooze, alarm goes off again and it won't be able to wake me up.
I want to become a morning person again. It makes me feel like I have more control in my life and more consistent. But no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to wake up earlier than usual. And I know for a fact that it is because I need more rest since I usually sleep at 11pm-1am. I know there are tricks to help myself through different activities in the morning but that's the problem, right? I couldn't even get up from my bed. How am I supposed to splash some water in my face or even make my bed?
Sadly, I think I won't be able to become a morning person as of now, considering that I still have a lot of plates to do.
And I know this is just a lame excuse to myself.
