Just started yesterday. Before that I was trying to sleep in 90 min increments. Ie. 6hrs or 7 1/2 hrs. But this 2 alarm way seems easier.

I married a co-worker over 35 years ago.

lol people are saying do cardio and medicate , bs answers no one has time for that . Just pound the coffee and accept the situation no easy way out

Bed early, no booze or other drugs. Wake up, straight out of bed, water on face and neck. Drink a glass of water. 10 mins of cardio to loud rawk music (or whatever gets you pumped). Shower, sh**, shave (if required) then a decent breakfast and a coffee or tea. Tell yourself positive, constructive stuff about the day - make plans, get yourself mentally organised for the day. Tell yourself, out loud, that you are going to hit the day hard and try to drag every ounce of enjoyment out of it, or at least every ounce of learning if enjoyment is too distant a boundary. Maybe even listen to some comedy podcasts while eating breakfast - if you get your face grinning and you hear yourself chuckling, it can put a nice psychological spin on the day. If you can't muster happy thoughts, at least aim for determinedly constructive and positive thoughts. And then go for it....

Maybe it's a death people tip

Also if you wanna know what a breast feels like in general you can grab a bag of sand

Will have to try this, thanks, my low blood pressure is often an issue when getting up!

The biggest hurdle to overcome is establishing a schedule/routine and sticking to it. Force yourself to fall asleep at X time and wake up at Y time. As long as you have a routine, you'll maintain some level of sanity

This isn't a LPT, dumbass

Just ask your mom for a quick taste, that’s what moms are for.

Not true. I told someone at work where my parents moved from and heard it from someone else three hours later. They don’t care. It will spread.

This is the right answer.

I'm apparently a decent public speaker and meeting facilitator that has no difficulty getting up in front of crowds. It's a continuous surprise to me that others fear the hell out of it and it's probably one of the biggest phobias around.

So what I think is simple and routine and straightforward - looking around the room to include everyone, addressing people's inputs directly but firmly, interrupting off-topic or ranty meeting contributors so we can move on - is something that I've been told many times is a "skill" to have.

I don't even notice it. I just do it.

So I don't VALUE it, and its contribution.

And when I wonder "Am I actually worth what I'm being paid?", I don't properly factor it in, while others do.

why no milk? also i live in a tropical/subtropical country, can’t not shower daily 😬

i used to be a morning person. had no issue waking up at 6 for no reason. i’ve been really depressed since three years and now i only want to sleep, nothing else. and yes i’m in therapy

Just start smiling, it tricks the body. Watch a funny video. If it’s sunny, 100000% open the curtains or step outside while drinking coffee.

Actually, the right thing to do is to tell a coworker a carefully-crafted lie, and then make them promise to never tell anyone.

Once it gets out and around the office, you will know for certain that they can't be trusted, and you can tell them that when they ask for personal information in the future.

And pussy is like sticking your dick in warm apple pie, right?

Healthy food, no alcohol, reduce sugar in the evening, some spinal friendly movements in the morning, no caffeine, drink lots of water, no milk, don’t shower every day, reduce TV / screen time including mobile, no stupid social networking, go by bike.

Oh no, people talk to each other!

I think this is a matter of chronotype. If you aren't a morning person, you are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to enjoying morning.

Exercise, shower, weed then coffee.

Can I cut out the cardio for an extra ration of cocaine?

Try yoga. Kind of hard to fall asleep in downward facing dog pose
