I woke up at 4:30am but stayed in bed until the alarm went off at 5. It is quite cold and still dark outside, but it isn’t raining, for a change. It has apparently been the wettest June for 71 years; a big deal because our rainfall has been low for a few years.
I felt quite tired all afternoon yesterday but didn’t have a nap. Went to bed at 9 and read for about 15 minutes or so before going to sleep. I feel quite good at the moment, but last night I felt so tired that I wondered whether it was a good idea to continue with the early rising experiment. Then it occurred to me that even if I don’t stick with the 5am wake up, I can still use the same principle of getting up straightaway, whatever time I set the alarm. I will stick with the experiment for the time being though. I am curious to see how I go.
