Hi,
It is very interesting and effective post. After reading your post now I shut down my computer at 11pm and now I felt that I have more energy.
Thanks

The title says it all for me. I started – 2 weeks ago – going to bed before 12 and not on the computer after 11.

The improvement in my waken time was immense. I shaved it by about 4 hours.

Though I slipped up at the weekend 2 nights and seen my waken time rise nearly back to the same time.

Last night was 2am and I rose at 10am but I know that’s just luck and this post is a stark remimder of what will happen if I go back to old ways.

:-) (post isnt working for me)?

[...] for knowledge, a point I can’t rebut. Tynan (Herbal from The Game) posted recently about becoming an early-riser, one point resonated with me. I used to think that reading 100 2-page articles on Reddit or hacker [...]

If I put my picture to the left of yours it would look like I was laughing at something you just said.

These are the powers of my observation.

Great site man!

Haha, yep… I can still sleep through just about anything. Probably even more so now that I live in an RV.

Ty –

I cannot imagine you being an early riser. Also, can you still sleep through a tornado??

Sn.

It’s interesting that you say that you often stop in the middle, and thus upon waking are ready to jump right back in. This was Hemingway’s method for avoiding writer’s block:

What a timely post! I’ve started a similar routine since March 14. I’ve turned off the computer before 11.59pm each day and mostly I’ve woken up before 9.30am. I intend to adjust the times when I’ve become accustomed to these times.

I used to program software till well into the night. For a few hours, this works well while you’re in “the zone” but then I’d hit a point where all my tinkering with the code would just produce weird results. So actually, I was past the point where I should have gone to bed and all my actions after that weren’t productive anymore.

In addition, we all have the most energy just after we wake up, so it makes sense to make those hours your most productive hours! I’m currently changing my lifestyle to make that possible.
