I’ve almost always been a night owl. I worked 3rd shift when I was younger and I loved it. I’d easily stay up all night and sleep until 2pm. Then when I was in my 20s I went back to college full-time while raising two toddlers. I woke up early and accomplished it all, even graduating with high honors.

I’m 47 now and have been a night owl again for many years. I could sleep well past noon if I didn’t have an alarm to wake me up. I just don’t have the energy I used to, unless it’s 10pm, then you’ll find me up cleaning the house. Some of my lack of energy is health related but I gave up finding out the cause because I’m already 5 digits in the hole.

Besides finding out the cause of why I’m always tired do you have any tips to get up early and stay motivated?

Thanks in advance.
