How do you guys who wake up...well...wake up?

You need to break the cycle once. Once you are in, just
keep at it.

Start with going to bed early. So, if you need 8 hrs of
sleep, go to bed by 9 p.m. I am assuming you have a hard
time responding to alarms. You can try using a radio that
will go off and wake you up gently (or harshly, if you want
it that way).

Another thing you could do is tell yourself when you go to
bed at night, that you will wake up at 5:15 tomorrow. Say
that in your mind a few times and your chances of success
should improve.

Hope this helps. jobs

complete, I need to

wake

And my other big problem...

Without fail...15 minutes in, everytime, I have to take a
serious load off my mind if you get my drift...which means
that another 15 of my hour is spent overexerting myself so
that I don't...ahem...overexert myself...

I get up early on Sunday's in order to complete a long run
before it gets too hot. I find it easier to get up if I've
set everything out that I need for my run. That includes
coffee on a timer, fluids mixed and in bottles or CamelBak,
clothes, etc.

1. Go to bed early. When I was getting up at 5:00 to get my 90 minutes in,
I was in the sack reading by 9:00 pm.

2. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration is the #1
cause of problems with #2. I keep a one liter bottle of
water on my bedstand, and usually finish it by the
morning. A small amt of caffeine as soon as you hop out
of bed (I chew on a tab to short-circuit the whole coffee-
making ritual) also helps.

I usually cut it so short that I was a time-and-motion study
-- immediately showering and hustling off to work.

It's a consequence of aging, "morning wood" disapears
after 35 or 40,

morning [censored]. Or wait, you said "wake" not "[censored]", sorry.

Will someone please file this post with the "How do I
breath?", and the "I pee blood, is that ok?" posts?
Thank you.

Ah, my favorite topics. Morning running and huge dumps. One
strategy I use is to limit the fiber content of my
breakfast, so the next day there is less bulk and mabye less
urge (dependent on the transit time of your colon). You
clould let go in some bushes if your run took you through
some woods or park (one of the benefits of running early is
that there are less witnesses). I think after a while your
colon will learn not to respond to the run by letting go.
Are you a coffee drinker? Morning coffee will get the dump
out of me within 3 sips. Sometimes, just the smell of coffee
will do it. This is the best, get it out before you run.

I like to call it carbohydrate UN-loading.

I have low-carb dumps. ;-)

Get a small dog that has to go out and relieve himself every
morning around that time...

That's what gets me up every morning!
