Anyone succeeded in becoming a morning person?

Take up winter mountaineering. You'll be getting up about 4 to make the Cairngorm ski centre to start the walk in for 6 -6:30

Used to work nights for years and the thought of getting out of bed prior to about 2pm was horrible. Changed career 3 years ago and now I rise at the crack of dawn Best time of the day, for sure!

I've become an involuntary morning person. Even if I stay out drinking until 2 I can't sleep past 8. No idea how I used to be able to get up at midday.

I'm definitely a night owl. Usually go to bed after 11pm and try to make it before midnight on a weekday, weekends usually mean about 2-3am.

Getting up is a nightmare and it takes at least an hour before I'm awake. So if I have an early start I force myself to get up extra early to give myself time to wake.

At least once a weekend I need a lie in, often until midday. It does feel as if I've wasted part of the day, but as long as I've done all the necessary jobs on the other day, I don't mind.

But to the OP, I have no idea how you can make yourself a morning person. Perhaps force yourself up extra early and go to bed early even if your not tired.

it can be done. dd was unknown to hours prior to lunchtime over the summer holiday, but now she's at high school and has to be up earlier, she has somehow become the house's early riser…
