Try to get used to waking up always the same time. Every time I wake up early in the morning, I kiss my girlfriend, then get up, and after the bathroom I do some workout. Nothing serius, just to make myself fresher. And then, for about an hour, I work on my private project(s), until my girlfriend gots up too (she's a little sleepy :) ). Then have breakfast (ALWAYS have a substantial breakfast), and then I go to work (I always get a shower before I go to sleep). This way I always start my day with good mood, and by achieving something, which makes me confident.

Healthy, stable people like you depress me :-) I feel like shit every morning. And I don't even do sigarettes/coffee/excessive drinking...

I'm going to sleep right now so I can try this in 7 hours.

It has been 7 hours. Results?

[timwiseman]

7 hours? I'm jealous.

You are going to try waking up and kissing his gf?? Good luck.

Well, the other guy will make sure that he wakes up when he kisses the guy's gf.

When I had a job this was pretty much my exact routine - started at 6AM every morning. Just replace the workout with meditation... I'd go to the Gym and/or Bikram Yoga w/ the girl after work during the week.

Somatomax has also been invaluable for my sleep and clear operating mind the next day...

Now, without the job, I typically getup at 7AM (sometimes a bit later), shower, catchup on email and Hacker News then start my personal project.
