Otherwise, she said you won't really wake up until 10Am. She said it's like a Hindu health tip- all the yogis do it. They say the reason is before the sun hits the horizon there is a kind of wake-up energy in the air. If you notice all of the animals are waking up at that time. After the sun rises it is low and heavy feeling in the sky until about 10 when it sort of seems to pick-up momentom and crest over into noon and of course then evening. She also said it's important to go to bed before 10pm because otherwise you'll pick up the second wind as the sun swings around the other side of the earth. It's all relative to where you are on the earth of course. Well anyway it's midnight and I obviously haven't cured the night owl in myself.

I'm still on it and after a weekend of vacation and staying up late I'm happy to say that I had no problem waking up at 5 this morning. In fact a side-effect was that over the weekend I woke up really early (6am one day, 8am the next) despite only getting 3 hours sleep that first day. Tim & Ryan:

Just want to say thanks. I have been doing the 5am thing now for the past two weeks (despite being a night-owl, too). I think it was this article that convinced me to give it a try -- or to try harder to give it a try. Now to tackle procrastination. -Ryan Matt. Just want to say thanks.

I've noticed the same things, waking at about 5 each morning. I've also noticed that I'm sleeping fewer hours per day than I was without a fixed wake-up time. -TimK Hi, Matt.
