Around two pm I start thinking about the end of the day. Usually that means what fast food am I going to eat, what can’t and desserts will I have. Will I get drunk? Many years ago it meant video games and chewing tobacco. I am a disciplined person in the morning ad during the day. But when I feel things are winding down I slip. I can be good but I am antsy and using stubborn will power. Many years ago when I quit chewing tobacco I adjusted my schedule. I started going to bed at 8pm and getting up at 3am. I still get up around 4:30am now to get my walk/cardio in and work out, drink coffee, catch up on news.
T this point to avoid eating bad and drinking too much I might have to go to bed at 6pm. Get up at 2am. I am kidding. I could get up before four but it feels weird. For a little while I used to get up at 1:30 am. I found myself getting up to use the bathroom and couldn’t fall back asleep. Instead of lying in bed thinking I took my dog for a walk, worked out in the apartment complex gym, wrote for a while then went back to bed at 4:30 and slept until 8. It was kind of nice. Best of both worlds, getting up early and being productive, getting my workout in and getting to sleep in.
