Why I started waking up at 5:30 in the mornings.

Mornings are a hard time for a lot of teens. It was for me too. For my school at 8:30, I had to wake up at 7 as my school is 30 - 40 minutes away from my home on a regular day.

I had a lot of trouble waking up as at that time in the morning as I was constantly reminded of school and how I needed to get ready. I realised this was interfering in my life a lot.

That is when I made the decision to wake up at 5:30 in the morning instead to give myself 2 hours approximately before I leave school and things are going great.

I discovered that I work more efficiently in the morning as opposed to the evenings. The work that took me more than two hours to complete is easily done in an hour during the morning. I am also visibly less tired and better focused overall and love this things about myself. I overall don't regret changing what I had done and would encourage other kids to do the same.
