Do you wake up to an alarm clock, or do you wake up on your own?
If the former, what time do you set your alarm for?
If the latter, what time do you wake up? How did your body get into this habit?
Personally, I'm awake at 4:30am each morning without an alarm. Years ago, when I was a district manager for a major QSR chain, my phone would ring anytime between 5am and 2am. I found that the only time I could get assured uninterrupted meditation time in was between 2am and 5am, so I began setting my alarm at 3:20. Eventually I started awakening at that time on my own.
In my new job, my work hours are different, with most days requiring me to be awake until at least 10pm. My body naturally adjusted to where it got the same amount of sleep I was getting during the earlier wake-up time.
