One for My Husband
When we got married, we were used to very different sleep patterns. I had been working for six months at a job that had me getting up around 5am every day to try to get in early so I could finish early. Matt had just “graduated” college and was used to staying up past midnight and then sleeping until at least 8 or 9, often later. He was NOT an early riser. He still isn’t. I’ve tried and tried to get him to wake up with me. Even just to wake up when I get ready to leave. He’ll get up to see me off, but then he either goes back to sleep, or has a very unproductive morning until he can “wake up.” He says he just can’t be a morning person, but I have found someone who disagrees. Steve Pavlina seems to think that it’s possible to actually become an early riser. We’ll have to see if his theories work for Matt… only time will tell.
