Wake up with Alarm

Week 4 Days 15-19: Did well, but did not set the alarm to be earlier. Still on a 7am start, but the week was crazy busy so I kind of had to get up on time. Averaged about .6 snoozes for the week which is a hug improvement over the beginning of the project which was closer to 3.5. So I’m gonna call this a success even if the initial goal of zero snoozing was not met. Taking the extra 10 minutes to mentally prep for the day is necessary sometimes and as a night person, mornings will never be a smooth transition. Now to continue this trend for the next month to make it a better habit and continue to work on the night side of things to make the mornings a little better on myself.

Day 14: Not good. Up late, long previous day, intentionally short day ahead makes for a snoozy boy. Get rested this weekend and try the earlier alarm next week. Gosh darn daylight savings. I was doing OK until today.

Day 13: Still ok, one snooze. Early meeting provided motivation but the bed time thing does need to enter the equation more often.

Day 12: Did OK. One snooze. Not what the goal is but is achieving the goal of less snoozing.

Day 11: The barking alarm went off early today so unintentional success. Was about about a half hour before the alarm. Still need to work on the bed time thing.

Week 3, Day 10: 2 snoozes. Weekend was exhausting and I needed to go to bed earlier on Sunday. Good news, still tired so going to bed early tonight should still work.

Day 9: One snooze. Again, not on the goal but better than the last month. Have a weekend of house demolition to keep me tired so here’s hoping Monday goes well.

Day 8: Aaaand, back to snoozing. Two snoozes after a couple of early mornings and hard days. Not ideal but hey, I got up.

Day 7: Did good today. Up before alarm by about 10 minutes. Maybe getting the swing of things.

Day 6? Due to circumstances outside of my control, I was up at 6. So success?

Week 2 Day 1: See Garfield. Mondays are the worst. 1 snooze and lots of grumbling but we tried.

Day 4: Moderate Success. Easier than the day before. That said the Friday energy helps. On to the weekend and messing up the sleep schedule in only two days

Day 3: Qualified Success. One snooze, lots of self bargaining. But up on time and breakfast burrito was had (the motivation).

Day 2: Moderate success. Two snoozes, but up on time. Getting to bed on time is going to be a major key to success.

Day 1: Abject failure. Turned alarm off and rolled over. Thankfully the wet nose alarm got me up in time.
