waking up later to wake up earlier

I tend to find I am happiest in life when I wake up at or before 5am.

Sometimes I can get away with waking up at 6am and still be happy.

Getting up at 7am tends to not go well. My body just does not care for that.

8am sometimes works, as 6am does.

9am works fine.



One problem is that unless I want to use my alarm clock - and with no pressing need to get up at a certain time, I do not - I need to go to bed 7 to 9 hours before this.

going to bed at 9pm is certainly doable.

10 is a possibility. I've done it from time to time and had it work.

11pm is just not happening. Again, my body rebels against going to bed at 11pm for whatever reason.

Midnight happens from time to time.

1am is easy.



In short; since I've not been able to get past the 'hump' I'm just going to stay on the far side of it for the time being. Nothing is drawing me to the early edge; but there are things that eventually will. I do have reasons, from time to time, to set my alarm clock and get up at 6am or 7am.

So

Until then, I shall simply stay up a bit later.
