Your Journey To An Elite Life

Make Your Body Look More Elite

Part 13

But Elite I am a night owl

I will never be able to wake up before 7 AM it's impossible

Well my friend, it's possible and let me tell you how I did it
For the longest time, my alarm was always set for 7:00 AM and I would hit snooze a few times before getting up

Then I realized that the best time for me to work out was in the morning before work
So if I wanted to get my workout done, have breakfast and get ready for work I needed to wake up much earlier

My body was used to sleeping at 2 AM-3 AM and waking up around 7:30 AM

So I started to set my alarm clock 15 min earlier

Instead of 7:00, it would ring at 6:45
I did this for a few days until my body got used to waking up earlier

Then I would set my alarm 15 min earlier again

Now it was ringing at 6:30 AM

I did this for a few days again until I felt my body was getting used to it

All the way to 5:00 AM
I never rushed pushing back my alarm the 15 min

If my body needed a week to adjust I gave it that

If it adjusted after 2 days then I pushed back my alarm right away

Something else I was noticing was that I was getting tired much earlier than usual
All of a sudden my eyes were closing at 1 AM, midnight and now 11 PM!

I made myself aware of this so as soon as I felt tired I would go straight to bed

Today I usually get to bed around 10 PM and fall asleep before 11

This gives me my 6-7 hours of sleep per night
It also helps that my wife sleeps 9 hours and is in bed around the same time or even before me

I have also noticed that on the weekends when I don't have an alarm set

After 7 hours max I wake up

This reassured me that my body didn't need more than 7 hours of sleep
