I stay in bed as long as possible with my SO looking at stupid memes or talking and just snuggling sometimes more. I wouldnโ€™t change the closeness for the world, puts me in a good mood to start the day. Reminds me that the love is what matters, not work bs.

Keeping my pre-workout drink at my bedside table. It made more of a difference than I expected.

Not eating breakfast. Seriously. Breakfast is to blame for a lot of obesity. The idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is an invention.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Unhealthy US* breakfast doesn't help with obesity. Just don't eat shit food

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I came to post always eating breakfast. I prepare overnight oats and eat it when I wake up and its helped a lot with concentration. There's definitely something to be said about a lot of marketed greasy or sugary breakfasts

Wake up at the same time (6am)

Chill for 10 minutes in bed

Make a coffee top go

Walk for 30 minutes.

Work from home

Finding a job that works with my night owl behavior. It's not laziness if I sleep the same amount you do.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Sleeping in.

Oil pulling

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Getting out of work at 6am.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No alarm. I go to bed on time and my body gets it somehow what a good wake up time is.

Also related is that when I wake up at night I take the time to think things through. Often a few hours, and then sleep again.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wish I could do that. It sounds so risky, though lol. But all the power to you. That's amazing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

You can still set it when needed. But you wake up before.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Having coffee and cake for breakfast every day, while also not consuming them at any other time of day.

I have my alarm clock require solving 5 arithmetic problems before it cancels (e.g (16*8 +10-6)/6) . It makes me alert way quicker and now I'm pretty quick at mental math.

Is that an android app? If so, could you name it?

You need google play store to download it? There is no other way to? If I dont have google play store I just cant use it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You appear to be able to download the apk from here: https://sleep.urbandroid.org/more/download/

Not sure it'll run without play services though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's cool! But I don't like the o Privacy policy. It shares our data at least with google and facebook. https://sleep.urbandroid.org/privacy-policy/ And also, there's no access to the code

I do the same thing, and one morning, I woke before my alarm and left my phone in the bedroom to take a shower. Learned that day that my wife doesn't know PEMDAS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I got a new phone sent to my work once, left my old one at work and didn't turn the alarm off, my coworkers were more than a little annoyed!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

that sounds insane hahah, probably mostly because im terrible at math...

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sleeping later, instead of waking up early (not late, but 7 instead of 5:30) improved my health; sex every morning is the way we wake up (well, it's the first thing I do, husband does like to wake earlier so he lets the dogs out and has coffee while I am sleeping still), for about 8 years now, that has been really great too.

So no alarm, wake later but not late, and sex.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So when do you sleep and wake up.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

11 to 7. I try to wait until sleepy to go to bed so sometimes it's 11:30 but I try to be in bed by 11 and usually can fall asleep pretty fast, not immediately but quickly.

[โ€“] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

After I walk the kids to school I just keep walking. Sometimes it's ten minutes, sometimes it's an hour. I come home with a clear head and ready to be productive.

"...sometimes it's whole months. I take the battery out of the phone and just walk into the desert, ready to embrace the wilderness."
