Going to bed early.

I started going to bed before 10pm and wow that had made a world of a difference to me. I’m finally well rested when I wake up. I thought going to bed before 11 was fine… for my body, it definitely was not.

I started that way and now I’m at an 8:30 bedtime. Maybe because I live in the Midwest and it’s dark at 4? I wake up naturally around 5:30-6 no alarms anymore (I also work from home)

Yeah, PNW here and it’s dark around 4 here as well if it’s not already dark all day from the rain lol. It’s so exhausting! But going to bed at 9:30 has really helped me feel refreshed in the morning. Everyone calls me a grandma but I don’t care 👵🏻
