Mornings

Does anyone else struggle with mornings ? Feeling down or disconnected

Parents
  • I don't do mornings anymore unless I absolutely have too. I spent far to many years dragging myself out of bed at the crack of sparrow fart, to want to do it now I don't have to, I'm an owl, I go to sleep at about 2am and wake up about 11:30 am.

  • Me too. Just feel like I waste half my life. Sometimes feel bad getting up late I'm not lazy just struggle to get going. 

  • I think we've all been indoctrinated to believe there's something holy about mornings, usually by people who like getting up early and don'tlike others being in bed when they're awake, I think this is a form fascism. I don't think us night owls keep larks awake, I think larks have FOMO. As long as you function and do the things you need to do as well as want to do, why does it matter what time of day you do it? Personally I find the night quieter and calmer the energy is much more chilled and I find it easier to concentrate and do some of my best thinking between the hours of 11pm and 1am. If you got up at 7am and went to bed at 11pm would you actually have any more time in waking hours to do things?
