William BlakeSo if you want to become an early riser (or just exert more control over your sleep patterns), then try this: Go to bed only when you’re too sleepy to stay up, and get up at a fixed time every morning.

How to Become an Early Riser
-
If you simply go to bed when you’re sleepy and then get up at a fixed time, you’ll cure your insomnia.

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.

The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. So you figure out how much sleep you’re getting now, and then just shift everything back a few hours. If you now sleep from midnight to 8am, you figure you’ll go to bed at 10pm and get up at 6am instead. Sounds very reasonable, but it will usually fail.
-
It seems there are two main schools of thought about sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same times every day. It’s like having an alarm clock on both ends — you try to sleep the same hours each night. This seems practical for living in modern society. We need predictability in our schedules. And we need to ensure adequate rest.
The second school says you should listen to your body’s needs and go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. This approach is rooted in biology. Our bodies should know how much rest we need, so we should listen to them.
-
The optimal solution for me has been to combine both approaches. It’s very simple, and many early risers do this without even thinking about it, but it was a mental breakthrough for me nonetheless. The solution was to go to bed when I’m sleepy (and only when I’m sleepy) and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time (7 days per week). So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5am), but I go to bed at different times every night.

My sleepiness test is that if I couldn’t read a book for more than a page or two without drifting off, I’m ready for bed.

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I’d almost always sleep in late. I usually didn’t start hitting my stride each day until late afternoon.

I figured I must have been born without the early riser gene.
-
It’s hard to become an early riser using the wrong strategy.
-
listen to your body’s needs and go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up.
-
If it’s taking you more than five minutes to fall asleep each night, you aren’t sleepy enough.
-
assuming you need the same number of hours of sleep every night
-
Your sleep needs vary from day to day
-
8+ hours of sleep per night, which is usually too much.
-
get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time (7 days per week)
-
My sleepiness test is that if I couldn’t read a book for more than a page or two without drifting off, I’m ready for bed.
-
I’m asleep within three minutes
-
I turn it off, stretch for a couple seconds, and sit up
-
the longer it takes me to get up, the more likely I am to try to sleep in
-
Resist sleep until your body begins to release the hormones that rob you of consciousness.
-
falling asleep right away.
-
Go to bed only when you’re too sleepy to stay up, and get up at a fixed time every morning.

When my alarm goes off every morning, I turn it off, stretch for a couple seconds, and sit up. I don’t think about it. I’ve learned that the longer it takes me to get up, the more likely I am to try to sleep in. So I don’t allow myself to have conversations in my head about the benefits of sleeping in once the alarm goes off. Even if I want to sleep in, I always get up right away.

-
If I’m not sleepy, I stay up until I can’t keep my eyes open any longer. Reading is an excellent activity to do during this time, since it becomes obvious when I’m too sleepy to read.
-
I don’t allow myself to have conversations in my head about the benefits of sleeping in once the alarm goes off. Even if I want to sleep in, I always get up right away.
-
My body learned when to knock me out because it knew I would always get up at the same time and that my wake-up time wasn’t negotiable.

You’re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep. Another problem is that you’re assuming you need the same number of hours of sleep every night, which is a false assumption. Your sleep needs vary from day to day.

After a few days of using this approach, I found that my sleep patterns settled into a natural rhythm.

Laura ShapiroThis is interesting - lack of sleep has recently been proven to cause many problems with health and now many studies are also being done on children's sleep patterns and how it affects their growth.
