I work for several delivery gigs and I know if I hustle I can easily make a G a week. The problem is getting up in the morning. I have a very hard time falling asleep and normally would go to sleep at 5-6am. My job has an 8am-2pm shift that I would like to work on top of my 5:30pm-11pm shift. I would love to hustle the remainder of 2017 to have some money in the bank for next year. Any advice to help me sleep earlier?
I've thought about staying up the whole day and crashing around midnight to kinda reset my sleep schedule. As of now I sleep around 5-6am and wake up around 12:30-1pm. I'm trying to go to sleep by midnight-1am to wake up around 6-7am. Is this a good idea? --- Too Complicated. ... Copied to Clipboard!

For me, if I have trouble getting up in the morning it means I didn't sleep enough, and eventually this tiredness will stack up and I'll fall asleep immediately when I go to bed. If this doesn't happen I might deprive myself of sleep a little more, incrementally. Staying up all night is too sudden a shift and I find my body doesn't adjust well. I'll be dead tired after being up all night, then go to sleep early....and in bed I'm not tired anymore.

Getting out of bed is the hardest thing I do in my life. I have to put my alarm far enough away so that I have to get out of bed to turn it off, otherwise I'm capable of turning it off, falling back to sleep, and then having no memory of doing so.

I use my phone as an alarm and have it near me when I sleep. I normally wake up when it's like an hour away from going off and just turn the alarm off completely =\ --- Too Complicated. ...

My morning routine: snooze...snooze...snooze...snooze...crawl out of bed I'm not either at all. I'm trying to be so I can make more money than usual, but even money isn't motivating enough for me to get up in the morning. --- Too Complicated. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sometimes but usually I can quash them eventually. It's more likely that I deal with them in the middle of an anxiety episode. --- Maybe I'll put something here one day. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well it sounds like you're having trouble sleeping rather than getting out of bed. Me, I'm just a lazy shit I guess. I imagine if you start working both shifts you'll have an easier time falling asleep, but if your thoughts are still keeping you awake even when you're exhausted you might want to talk to someone. --- ...

So if I get 2-3 hours of sleep, do I just man up, go about my day and I should knock out fairly easy when I go to bed again? Well, my tactic would be to get 5 or 6, and have the sleep debt slowly creep up. That's what works for me. The exception is one time when I was going to bed at 6 am regularly and then I got a manual labor job that required me to wake up at 5:30. The first day I got an hour of sleep and did some hard work, crashed early at night, and I've been on a normal schedule since. And yeah, that's me. Life has been good, thanks for asking. I tore my bicep in March at a competition lifting a 700 lb tire and after surgery my arm shrank to an insane level: It's getting bigger now and I'll make a full recovery. I've been on that board since 2003 and feel a special sentiment for anyone who comes from there and calls me out. --- "I knew that I would get a chance to see the world and beat up its people." -Josh Barnett on martial arts Training: http://Machinhate.blogspot.com ...

Do you use your bed for anything besides sleeping? The less stuff you do in bed besides sleep the easier it is for your mind and body to shift into sleep mode when you get in bed.
Also you guys who have trouble waking up should consider a wake up light. It slowly brings you out of sleep so you wake up actually refreshed and ready to go instead of feeling tired from sudden awakeness --- Quit Crying ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's both. The troubles of falling asleep makes me wake up later than normal, but if I tried getting up early with 2-3 hours of sleep I feel like complete shit. They definitely keep me awake, but man....do I really need to talk to someone? It's just random thoughts, thinking of work the next day, my family, etc. My thoughts can get chaotic, but I never let them get to me. Anyone ever try NyQuil? --- Too Complicated. ...

I get up at 11 am pretty well rested with 8 or 9 hrs of sleep, on a rough day it can be as low as 6 hrs.

You will feel even more groggy especially if you only get 6 hours max to sleep. Its good if you can get 8 or more though

DontHateMe posted...So if I get 2-3 hours of sleep, do I just man up, go about my day and I should knock out fairly easy when I go to bed again? I honestly think getting the very few hours of sleep, waking up to deal with it and then crashing the night might be best. And whoa man. That's insane. I'm happy to know you're still at it and good to know you'll make a full recovery. That's crazy that it's actually you though, lol. I remember waaaaay back you had a video of lifting like..5lbers and you say something like "I can't take this anymore!" And the next shot is you at the gym doing your thing, lmao. Man, it's good to see you're doing good. --- Too Complicated. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I sometimes watch shows on my laptop laying in bed, but that's about it. Never heard of a wake up light. It sounds like it'll help though. I actually don't have any windows in my room, so it's nearly pitch black in the morning or night. --- Too Complicated. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As of now though with my late night/morning sleep schedule..I'd go to sleep around 5-6am and wake up around 12:30-1pm. So I'm getting around 6-7 hours, but I would love to push that back. --- Too Complicated. ... Copied to Clipboard!
