I don't like going to bed early. If I do, I often can go right to sleep, it's just that I feel more alert at night and feel like I'm giving up on the day and next time I am conscious, I will be back at work. So why not enjoy myself more?
I have been getting up later and later. And I am ok once I get up, it's just that pressing the snooze is like a drug. If I am sleeping with a morning person, I can get up fine. If I have an early appt, I can be fine. But I like to work late, and now that it's dark at 5:30 (I walk home, in the city), it would be better to come in at 8:00-8:30 and leave at 5 then in at 9:30 and out at 5:30-6:00. Plus, I think that even if I work the same number of hours, it just looks better to be at work at 8:30 bright eyed and bushy tailed, even though I know I do better work if I stay late instead. It's just a cultural bias, I think.
I know I can do it if I "really want to" I guess the trick is making myself want to. Want to when I'm wrapped up in bed and the room is freezing cold, and the cats want to snuggle and I feel like sleeping 2 more hours.
Has anyone every permanently switched their natural tendency? I have ADHD and I know that probably plays a role.
