If you are a morning person kindly share your secrets, please. The burnout is real. FP edit: thanks everybody for the advice. Send me pics of your pets adorably sleeping.

Melatonin! And coffee enemas.
MightyMouseTech
Morning people can suck a dick. Seriously, it would help.
OryHara
The secret is to get a job you love. I was up at 0330 and I'm still "on the clock" at 2030. Time goes fast when you like what you're doing.

Morning person who wakes up @ 5:00am every weekday voluntarily: I drink one or two water bottles after I wake up and I’m set for the day.
fredandgeorgesexcellentadventure
I've been going to sleep at 5am, that counts as being a morning person, right?
NorsDelight
Hate it long enough till you convince yourself you love it
Tunafrisk
Drink a lot of water right before bed. Put your alarm out of reach. The need to piss will ensure you rise swiftly...in more ways than one.
DoubleCheckingGrammarandSppelling
Fake yourself out. I wake, smile, sing, down an energy drink, and pretend I’m Mary Poppins. Shit works.
SipHole
You’re either a morning person, or you’re not.
xpixelboxer
Working night shifts. I come home at 6am and get to work at 6pm again. 12 hour shifts are rough tho
FreedomFry
My secret? Anxiety and FOMO
Jbjams
Hate to say it but getting up earlier and getting some cardio in makes it soooo much more bearable. You get addicted to the exercise.
ohlittleladybuttsexchamp4lifeohyeahohyeahohyeahohyea
Yup. Get up at 530. Do 45 mind stair master followed by a five k. Makes my whole day better and I am addicted.
Echo6256
Coffee naps!! I'd make coffee the night before, get up half an hour before I needed to, chug the cup then get back in bed for 20-30 min

French press awesome coffee the night before... flavored... I look forward to it when I go to bed even! I am up at 5 normally, so I get it!
Mybrainfartwaswet
Every single day, I'm up around 3:30 for no damn reason at all
CandyMountain33
I sense the same disturbance in the force.... no need for an alarm clock; 0300-0330 every day! No matter what.
badbiscuit
Never could get used to it...went back to bartending
vagimite
I run on about 6 hours sleep. The secret is to really hate yourself.
clydeman420
5-6 for me. Any more than that and my energy level drops.
poobacca
Go to bed at the same time every night, and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends
RBMK30000
Your right, I found this out the hard way, it works
anironingboard
Getting up at 6 on a Saturday sucks, but it is the best way to make the other days not suck so much. At least I always have homework to do
Charboo2
What you must do is wake up early on the weekends to. Also, don’t stay up until 3 am watching Spider-Man and Elsa have a kid.
clydeman420
You are the only person besides myself I’ve heard say this. I get up at the same time every day. Sleeping in throws off the cycle.
Charboo2
Also, make yourself want to get up. If you get a mobile game that keeps collecting resources as you’re gone, you’ll wake up for them.Idk @OP
ArtistsAreAwesome
Your sleep rhythms are mostly set. If you're not a morning person, you probably won't become one. Embrace that and adjust life accordingly.
KyleBeach
To be fair, there are known ways to alter circadian rhythm that work for almost everyone, most people just dont have the will power to do it
ArtistsAreAwesome
If it takes so much willpower most people won't do it, then it doesn't really work for everyone.
alabamaman
It's repetition. You have to force yourself to become a morning person. It will also make you daydream about retirement.
Charboo2
Yes, even on the weekends
ruferto
nah, if that's not your natural rhythm, pretty much nothing will help you get used to it
DancingHomer
I find that crying right after waking up helps chase the sleepiness away.Go to bed earlier,dreams are much better than real life anyway...
fasterkittypurr
Scrolled back up just to upvote
ruferto
find a job that allows you to cater to your natural sleep rythm. most stuff about changing your sleep cycle is bullshit by morning ppl
KyleBeach
Not really, the correct way to adjust your circadian rhythm is just more annoying immediately than the thought of waking up at 5 am tomorrow
KyleBeach
so most people cant be bothered to do it.
ruferto
i mean you can try but unless your body is naturally inclined towards it, it just doesnt work
blarglebrle
Caffeine pill ground into s fine powder mixed in water...CHUG...be a functional human person.
DonQuixotic
They make caffeinated water now...
AwwYissMothaFuckinProcrastination
Mars Coffee?
Jimthebutler
Elon?
AwwYissMothaFuckinProcrastination
Watney.
DrBananaforscale
....why don’t you just take the pill with a full glass of water?
blarglebrle
The stomach can only absorb a very limited amount and only so fast and it can also produce the enzyme that breaks down caffeine. 1/2
blarglebrle
2/2 you will gain a tolerance in weeks with the pill unlike the other method which is also more effective and cheaper than coffee. 2/3
blarglebrle
3/3 a stronger method is MEG Military Energy Gum. You can get it delivered with amazon prime last i checked. Feel more awake in under 1 min.
celestlabuschagne127001
Yes stop being a lazy start at 5
happytreeleaf
What are you? A farmer?
whatupmyknitters
farmers are the ones that got us into this early morning mess!
GiantDad420
5am? That's too late. Do what I do and merely scream the lack of sleep away. 24 straight hours of work.
sear3489
5 am sucks
IHaveACupcake
Ugh I hate it so much :’( every time I set my alarm for 4/4:30 I die inside
asanimgurianiliealot
The worst is when that becomes normal routine but then they occasionally ask you to come in even sooner.
IronFart
I wake up at 2 to 4 in the morning for fun, i don't work though, im crazy.
happytreeleaf
Hi Crazy. I’m Dad.
MickeyCrisco
Wake up at 6? Must be nice to sleep in
IDrinkNIKnowNothing
Used to have to wake up at 2:45 to drive into the city. So I moved into the city. Cut off over 45 miles of my commute one way.
TowerJunkie
Aye. 0400. Gym then work by 0630. Once I'm out of bed I'm good.
Jimthebutler
Right?
rorozozo
Lol, I was going to say the same thing! 6? That's precious. Try 4:30!
EnhanceEnhanceEnhance
PREACH IT!
GooseKingEmporerConquistador
0400 to get to PT at 0500
Marietard
4:30 am and working until 3:10pm
MickeyCrisco
I feel your pain. I'm up at the same time to be at work by 6, if not earlier, and still stuck there until about 4
Zimno
4:00AM here to catch a 5:05 train to get to work by 6.
DuMoulinRouge
Wake up at 11.15pm, to be in work for 12am. Sometimes we’d get lucky and get a lie in til 1.15am to start at 2am.
Datarage
At least you have a train ride, the army says good morning at 4:30 with push ups and somehow I love it
atsomethingnew
4:15 to pick up the boss at 5:30 and be at work by 6.
keyblader1985
5:30. And I'm a night owl. THOSE THINGS DON'T MIX.
itouchedthebutt
Yes! I have a 4:45 am wake up and I'm a total night owl. I hate myself every morning.
TheScutFarkus
Up at 0315 for gym at 0400 to 0530. Morning turnover at 0615 and leave the at 1900. Rinse and repeat.
Mikec311
3:45 am here. 3 days a week after getting home around midnight from the previous shift.
MickeyCrisco
Holy shit. I thought my schedule sucked. Hope you can finagle some more free time in there somewhere
emaxpowers
OH...MY...GOD... are u sure youre even a person right now
Mikec311
Well I've developed frequent migranes and I do forget how to human from time to time.
emaxpowers
Just remember, you work to live...not live to work. Good luck man
ThirtySevenInARow
As a non morning person, I've been getting up early for over 30 yrs now. Sorry to say, you never get used to it.. you just hate it Every Day
thelionpear
redcell6
As a night owl, one of my biggest mistakes as a kid, THINKING MY BODY WOULD GET USED TO IT. Over 22 years later, still nah.
AwesomeMixVol6
Wake up earlyr. Go gym take bamg pwo. Or any preworkout.
leontheprofessional
Actually the real trick is to get up an hour earlier randomly in a morning and then you appreciate your regular time.Or drink after work
BDGClowninAround
MrGato
want to know the secret? Go to fucking bed earlier. I say this with love as someone who when not working goes to bed at 8/9 am
NoodleyLove
I was awake before my alarm today and I still hit snooze three times. That's how much I did not want to get up.
NoFoxLeft
Oh god so the rest of my life will be in this hell?
redcell6
Yes. This is not a joke.
DoctorBambu
What time do you go to sleep?
ThirtySevenInARow
I try to go to sleep by 10 pm. My alarm goes off at 5:30. I don't even leave to work until 8. That's how long my brain needs to wake up. Ugh
woodenbadger
I try to head to bed by 10; asleep between 10:30-11. Wake at 5:30. No snooze; just get up. Shower then coffee. Works for me.
IRipTheBiggestFartsOnMyWifeInBed
No snooze just get up is the trick.
DrCatbus
but howwwww wtf
shuttPlanetLord
It's 10:41, I need to get up by 5:45 to be to work at 7. Fuck.... I'm always running late cause I can't get off Imgur.
Genini
Jokes on you. I hate every day regardless of what time I wake up.
LincolnSiixEcho
Ahaha yeah....what a sucker!
PillowFortPolice
IsRealKawai
Hahaha love this response
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
Sleep early. Caffeine. Cut back on alcohol and weed.
pennygwen
And workout before dinner. Knocks me out early and I feel better in the morning.
quantumbiologist
Fuck that
trashtalkpb
Blasphemy
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
I agree just try it mate. Like Bill burr says it's just trying to get over the habit for the first 3 days and then you'll be fine.
JuddDocherty
Go to bed earlier especially if your livlihood depends on it. Banana in the morning
PoopNScroll
Anything easier?
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
See a doctor I've been seeing doctor.
cousteau
Doing some sports might help you sleep better and earlier instead of browsing imgur like I'm doing RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
I agree
TreesAndShit
FUCKING BUSTED
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Still doesn't work, in my experience. As a night owl, going to bed at 10pm and waking up at 6am feels way worse than going to bed at 2am /1
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
Then you an owl just get a night job
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
and waking up at 10am. I think it's just the timing of when the sleep hormones kick in. It's never as good a sleep and I'm still /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
exhausted if I wake up that early, even if I got the same amount of sleep. /3
Megallion
Weed is a sleep aid for a lot of people. Why cut it out?
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
I didn't say stop just cut down. I love weed
1234canIhavealittlemore
Haven't smoked it in ages but yeah, that's what it did for me. Getting up early in the morning was hard though...
queenofmachines
Right now I sleep better on nights I smoke, but I bet after a few weeks of detox I'd get some good rest.
TheBurmecianGuy
As great as weed is for falling asleep, it makes you associate weed with sleep, and you never get proper rested on weed-sleep.
oglehole
Something about it makes ya wake up tired. When I smoke I need an extra two hours of sleep and even then I'm still tired
Megallion
There is truth to this but it depends for me when I smoke. 8-9 hours before I wake up and I'm ok.
hyjalsnowboards11
For some people. For me I stay up all night and wake up way more groggy... just my opinion!
damien309
It helps me sleep, but I do feel more groggy in the morning. It sucks, but the grogginess usually dissipates after a hour or so.
idrinkcheapbeer
Yeah, I also feel like I'm wasting the high just sleeping it away.
hyjalsnowboards11
Same! So I stay up all night watching reruns of the Simpson's and somehow that's better...
foiltoiler
I used it as that for a long time. I slept alright, but it was never good rest. I'd always wake up groggy and unwilling to do anything
dutron
Mmm yea nice and burnt #lovinIt
modestmonster
It only helps me sleep if i go to bed at about 4 hrs after during the come down, otherwise yeah I wake up sorta hungover. I dunno,
modestmonster
Sometimes it's the only think that makes my brain shut up.
ruferto
people who get tired at 10pm baffle me
CptFloridaMan
Hell I get tired at 8pm. But sleep is for the weak and my phone+imgur hold me hostage
zellar2020
Just wait a bit, you will too. I used to think the same thing.
ruferto
nah, its def a person-person thing. my mum would always go to sleep early (like 10ish) and my father would regularly be up til 1am
Itsokyoucansaythatiusedtobeamuslim
See a doctor but try cutting down on alcohol and weed before judging and do sports but don't do sports before bed time.
ruferto
don't drink or smoke and am regularly active but i still am wide awake at night and hate mornings
