Being a morning person is a superpower.
By the time anyone else gets to work I’m jacked up on caffeine and I’ve gotten 2-3 hours worth of shit done, and the first thing my bosses see when they log in is that I’ve finished all of the morning work requests.
Awesome.
I’ve noticed I’m naturally a morning person when I’m able to upkeep good work-life balance. I love waking up super early, catching the sunrise, hearing the morning birds, and having a nice, long, calm morning. When the job is too demanding and too stressful, I sleep like shit and wake up in madness, depend too much on coffee, and just feel like shit 80% of the time.
There is definitely a fine line. I think “morning people” are more volatile and 1 small hiccup can ruin an entire morning and throw them off for the rest of the day. Night people tend to just sleep longer and miss some stuff but overall have no change to routine when something goes wrong.
I am definitely a morning person. I am up and ready at 4 am every day. Most of my exes hated it. Or at least couldn’t understand what motivated me. I am just not miserable. Nothing wrong with accepting your life and making the most of it.
I don’t do it anymore, but running or any cardio first thing in the morning does actually work to give you more energy in the day. I did it out of desperation - 0500 was the only time I had to myself and running is nearly free. I need exercise to manage my mood. So while my kids were asleep, I ran and honestly seeing the sun rise was such a beautiful hopeful feeling.
Now do am in a better situation I sleep later and exercise after work, but that early running saw me through a pretty hard time.
Even just doing a quick 15 minute workout at night has helped me sleep better, wake up earlier naturally, and in general improved my mood.
Today I decided to start the day with a swim. I arrived at the pool at 11am. I just don’t get how people do it. Also, if I do any sort of physical activity without having had a full meal that day, I can literally feel myself run out of energy within minutes.
Unlikely, serial killer are night people, they are busy awake late at night working on their project, so they can’t wake up early. morning people are the opposite of serial killers.
I don’t know. I saw Hannibal. Serial killers are excellent at time management, very flexible with their sleep schedules, and they are in peak physical condition.
I am envious of people who are able to do that. Best I can do is probably ride my bike few times a week, in distances from about 40-50 km, but definitely not in the morning, lol.
And I hate running. I’ve tried it and I hated it. Literally the only good thing about it is when I was going back home to take a shower.
I’m not a morning person either, but I have ADHD, so coffee does nothing for me. I have to get up 2 hours before I have to leave or else I’m just simply not awake, which is plenty of time for a run.
I don’t actually go for a run, but I could. Theoretically.
Tbf a mile isn’t a long run at all. Maybe 10 minutes? Good wake up for sure.
Fbi: this is the guy I was talking about!
