Morning people, how do you manage to wake up early like 5 am as a computer person?

Travel to a different time zone (-4hr), stay for 3 days, and come back. Hard set your bio clock :3

Go to bed early. Easiest trick in the world.

You can also drink a bit of fluids before bed so your body naturally wakes up fairly early, the old Native American trick.

Weak bladders beware, with this one trick you will wake up early. Not the way you want.

I had issues with keeping a stable sleep schedule for years, but now I found a method that works for me: every day, set your alarm clock to the same time no matter what (in your case 5 AM) even on weekends. Then, try going to sleep so you always get full 8 hours, if you fuck up and go to sleep too late then tough shit - you'll feel tired tomorrow which will serve as a punishment that your brain will hopefully recognize.

They key is to be consistent and not sleep in.

I hear that jobs in astronomy don't pay like they used to.

I do this same thing every night. No problems waking up at 5-6. It didn't take long to adjust to it.

Yeah, honestly why bother doing this shit? You got to enjoy your life, because you only have one. If you purposefullly forsake your life in favor of your Job, then you are doing Something wrong. Especialy since nobody will thank you in that Part.

I have Had some shitty Chefs myself, but whenever they try to mention my being late, i ASK them very seriously (voice deep, tone down), If they got some issue with my Work results. Those ones pretty much stopped doing that asking Sometime Afterwards.
Funny enough my last Boss wanted US all to meet daily at 8:30 for a Status Report (called daily b/c WE are "agile"). Stopped doing that after a year, when we Just sat there for a year in those Status Meeting Just answering the bare Minimum of His questions to our respective works. After a year, he started doing only a weekly (were we can submit things to discuss) at a better and more reasonable time. Which Made us all happier. So Fight won.

If you always get up at 5am no matter when you go to bed, your body will eventually force you to go to bed at a decent time.

[annafrankfurter@lemmy.ml]

Simple I sleep at 2 AM and wake up at 4.30-5.30 AM. Yeah my brain and body are fucked.

[panda@lemmy.today]

If I need to get up at 5AM I just set my alarm and as soon as the alarm goes off I hop out of bed, to force myself to actually get up before I get the chance to start thinking about it (and postponing the getting up part).

As for what I do in the evening: if getting up at 5AM every day is my goal I just start by setting my alarm at 5, and aim to go to bed earlier. If I did go to bed late the night before, I would still set my alarm at 5 and just be tired the next day. Because the next day I'll feel so tired I'll automatically end up going to bed earlier. So it works itself out. So if I really wanted or needed to get up at 5AM every day I'd just do it even if I didn't sleep enough hours the night before. Once I'm in a routine I don't even need to set my alarm. I'll just automatically wake up at that hour.
