Eww gross. Who wants to sleep that long? My back would hurt everyday. Mid to 6am? Ok, but toss in a 1-6 every now and then
Just grow older. At 45 you'll start turning into one automatically
I am in my 60s now. I figure this will start to kick in any day now.
As others have said, it's simply a matter of discipline and getting used to it. But that doesn't necessarily mean you'll become a morning person. How you wake up and when you wake up are two different things. I'm a morning person in that I wake up easily, but I go to sleep at 1 and wake up at 9.
Requires rote repetition
That person here. Just force a yourself to get up at 6 for a few a weeks and your body will adjust. Also, use drugs to sleep.
Thank you James.
Stop caffeine consumption
For a real medical answer, I was, at one point, put on GHB and a Stimulant under the theory that an issue that took 9 years to diagnose (epilepsy, did not present typically). Since I had issues with cataplexy, which is only rarely seen with other issues, this made sense. Turns out it can be a side effect of some psych meds, as I'm also bipolar.
GHB knocks you out in moments, and you'll wake up 4 hours later. Time for the second dose. 4 more hours. Like fucking clockwork. It was the only time in my life I was consistently on time anywhere I've ever worked. Wasted in a Walmart auto shop.
Then stimulants (amphetamine analogue) were supposed to keep a narcoleptic awake during the day.
I stopped drinking, got a dog, and changed my gender. Now I'm up at 7am every day.
Of all those, I bet getting the dog was the biggest factor, lol. They need you when they need you. The threat of waking up to a puddle of pee is a motivator.
Seems pretty drastic just to sleep better. Hopefully you had reasons for getting a dog other than to solve a sleep issue.
Honestly, dogs are a full time commitment. Don't get one on a whim.
They might be a part of your life but you are their whole life.

Last time I tried to go to bed at 10, I woke up... at 10.
I don't understand everyone's problem with getting this sleep schedule. I, for one, clock exactly this. I go to bed at 10 AM and wake at 6 PM; just like it says!
Anyone actually reading this and having similar issue, it can get expensive but try talking with a doc to try and figure it out. Before my habits got better, i tried diet/exercise, diagnosed with sleep apnea (didn't feel better rested, but def worse if I don't use cpap), and finally got way easier to manage when I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed. Ymmv but thought I'd share my experience.
CPAP changed my life. Suffering from depression is a million times worse when you don't get sleep
Enlarge your prostate.
Mind giving me a hand with that?
Time will do it for you
