Early birds, what are your morning chores?

[Strawberry]

I'm definitely not the morning person.
My work starts at 8:00am, I get out of bed at 7:30-7:40.
I make 2 sandwiches, my lunch shaker, jump in the car and arrive at work at about 8:00-8:10.
I am so tired in the morning that I can't even shower. Even when I decide to take that 5-10min shower and set the alarm clock to 7:20, I usually just snooze until 7:30. So I have gotten used to doing everything before going to bed.

I have no kids or any other responsibility early in the morning and I don't know how I would manage such drastic change in lifestyle.
I barely even sleep during the nights. Lately it's been 2-4 hours but my sleep cycle is usually between 2am-7:30am. I go on caffeine pills during the day and sleep for 10-12 hours during weekends.

Here's a short poem that perfectly describes me:

I wake early one morning,
The earth lay cool and still
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched in my window sill,
He sang a song so lovely
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles
Began to slip away.
He sang of far off places
Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his very trilling,
Brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers
Crept slowly out of bed,
Then gently shut the window
And crushed his fucking head.
I'm not a morning person.

That is a very stupid question.

Not being a morning person is nonsense, it's all about habit and routine.
I wake up every morning at 6:00 without any problems. It does mean I have to go to bed before 22:30 to still get my 7.5 hours of sleep.

My mourning routine is walk for 30 minutes, eat breakfast for 30 minutes, shower, dress and go to work around 8:00.

Easy for people without sleep problems to say... Try putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

So fix your sleep problems first, then get a good routine going.

When I'm by myself: I wake up, I get out of bed, go to toilet and pee, go to kitchen to check if I have something to drink. If I don't have something to drink I go to the store to buy something to drink. Make some food and get a glass of whatever I bought at store and bring it to the living room, sit down in the sofa and watch the morning news while eating and then brush my teeth and then I just start my computer up and play games or go on mmo-champion(lol).

When I'm at my boyfriends place or he's at mine: Either wake up and wake him up or get woken up by him, have morning sex, go to toilet and pee and get cleaned up, come back and cuddle some in bed, make breakfast and watch some episode of a series with him on netflix or hbo or something else if it's not on hbo or netflix, have sex again, take a shower, brush teeth.

Life of being unemployed.

You're wrong. I was never a morning person. Even when I went to bed at 10pm and had to get up at 7am I would be tired. My body doesn't like early mornings.
But give me an hour or two extra sleep during the morning and I will be much more awake even if I slept few more hours less.

Shower
Eat breakfast
Watch some morning news
Head to the station

I wake about an hour early so I can do this at a leisurely pace.

[Puupi]

Pee
Drink a glass of something
Go for a jog
Shower
Breakfast
Try to poop
Brush teeth
GTFO of the house

It’s a problem that’s not always easily fixed.

People really rarely have real sleeping problems. Usually sleeping "problems" are because they don't exercise and give their body any physical load. Also one big deal is caffeine, some people drink coffee or drink energy drinks at evening, and even tho their tolerance is high, it still may make sleep worse. But overall I would say that the biggest impact on my sleeping was starting to eat clean (clen) and train (tren) hard.

Also, remember to turn off the TV or computer at least hour before you really want to fall sleep. For an example, if I have early flight (3:30am wake up), I may go to sleep at 21, so I may fall sleep before 22. I just lay in bed and try to fall sleep, of course it sometimes is really hard, since my normal sleeping routine is 00:30->8:30am.

And actually after I dramatically lowered the caffeine drinking I felt much more woken up at morning. This change was due the fact that my caffeine pre-workout didn't kick enough, so I thought I would lower my tolerance for caffeine by not drinking it too much.

- Physical Exercises
- Clean eating habits
- Turning off the netflix/computer 1h before you want to fall asleep.
- Reduce caffeine and use it whenever you really need it.

What is that?

[Blobfish]

What is that?

I am saving money on electricity, which is so expensive in Australia.
So I turn my electric hot water system on & off

This was supposed to be my day off, so my morning routine poem for today would be:

I wake to sounds of phone alarms,
it makes me want to die.
There's no pigeons on my window sill,
I guess they don't fly this high.
I stumble to the bathroom,
flip-off my cat along they way.
My day will not be carefree,
but it will certainly be gay.
Helping a friend throw a party,
filled with many hipster guests.
Retards all around me,
in their stupid hipster vests.
Everything they talk about,
makes me want to break down in tears.
Everything song they listen to,
a rape whistle to my ears.
My day is already ruined,
happiness was a mirage.
No, I refuse to let this happen,
I think this calls for sabotage.

Thanks, OP. You've inspired me.

How come electricity is expensive in Australia?

You have shitton of all kinds of natural resources, like the worlds largest uranium deposits, solar power like nowhere else etc.

Good ol Git good argument.
Ignorance really is a bliss.

[therealbowser]

I wake up, I drink coffee, and occasionally I eat breakfast.

I rarely do morning chores first thing. If getting ready to leave the house counts as a morning chore, then, sure, I do that when applicable, but that's about it really.

I am definitely not an early bird... at least, not by choice. Though by the looks of it, you don't exactly seem like one either if you're going to sleep at 2AM, heh.

[Donald Hellscream]

I go to bed around 2 am, and wake up whenever, this time of the year it is usually around 4-5 hours later as I have no blinders in my bedroom so the moment the sun shines through I wake up as I am quite sensitive to changes in ambient light. During the months of long dark nights I have to set an alarm otherwise I sleep way too late due to the sun rising much later. After I wake up, I check if I have anything drinkable in the fridge, if not I go to store once they open if they aren't already, then I drink whatever I bought and eat a bowl of oatmeal porridge or just raw oatmeal and milk, I then sit infront of my computer until about an hour before the train arrives, I then spend 10-20 minutes showering before going for a 30-40 minute walk before taking the train at 11:03.

Greed by overseas conglomerates who own the power infrastructure.
Australia does not use nuclear power for electricity... too dangerous (remember Chernobyl, 3 mile island)

Solar Power is coming along ok But it could not power a big city due to inadequate baseload
Wind power can only power so many 1000 homes.. the Wind Fans kill birds & are an eyesore on the landscape.

Morning chores? You mean afternoon right?
