Win: Getting up early by pretending I have to travel

Hey friends,

So last week was a bad week. Shit going down, life hitting hard, you know the drill. I went to bed later and later and couldn't get up before 9 or 10 which made everything worse.

This Sunday I decided to go to bed at 8 and pretend I had to make an early flight so I set my alarm at 5:30, and tadaa! I could do it! Turns out waking up at 7 is harder than waking up at 5:30 because at 5:30 it feels like an emergency but 7 or 8 feels like nothing will happen if I turn that into 9 or 10.

Today is Wednesday and I'm still on my 3-day streak of getting up early, being super productive and feeling much better.

What are your sleep/wake hacks?
