if you oversleep just 30 minutes a day, that’s 180+ hours a year. And if you’re at 60 minutes a day, that’s 365 hours a year, the equivalent of nine 40-hour weeks.

My problem is that I'm much easier to reason with late at night than I am early in the morning.

At night, I can say to myself "just one more hour, let's finish this project" whereas in the morning, it's often more like "just one more hour, last night was a late night"

Steve Pavlina is weird. If we all followed his advice, the world would be full of robots. That said, it's mostly pretty smart advice. However ... I guess most of the people who have this problem don't have small children at home.

Well, depends on what you think of as a robot. I actually think most people walk around completely blind as it is, they just don't do anything, so they don't appear robotic.

But yes, he does advise habitual actions a lot.

If I had enough time to rehearse "waking up," I probably would get enough sleep and have no problem getting out of bed to begin with!

If it wasn't for the night med I take to go to sleep I most likely would not have a problem waking up.
