For the last almost two months, I’ve been trying to become a morning person, and it’s been really difficult. As someone who’s had a lot of depression over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time where the only time I’ll fall asleep is when my body is ready to crash. This leads to cycles where I’m awake for 18 hours, and then I’ll sleep for 18 hours. It isn’t pretty.

But this is some solid advice and ideas, thank you. I’ve got to get better about going to bed at a decent hour — and not watching TV until 1 AM. Also, maybe, establishing a better routine. I just kind of throw myself into bed, and throw myself together when I wake up.

Thank you for sharing! — Zx
