If I had my way, I would like to be in bed EVERY night @ 10pm. So, here is my schedule: During the weekdays and on Saturday I wake up @ 4:45am. I usually get to bed anywhere from 9:30pm – 11pm. So I am averaging about 6 – 7 hours sleep. My partners schedule is going to bed late and waking up @ 9am (maybe 10am on weekends). On Friday and Saturday night we usually stay out later than normal (maybe midnight or 1am), so on Saturday I am a little tired but I make myself get up at 4:45am because I have to run before it gets too hot. After my run and during Saturday I am a little tired but I have a coffee during the day and that gives me the boast that I need. On Sunday I guess in mind I give myself permission to sleep in. I do wake up @ 4:45am – feed the dogs etc but jump back into bed until 9am. When I wake up, I usually have a headache and feel sluggish and upset that I have wasted the morning. I have no real problems during the weekdays getting up 4:45am it’s just the weekends that are very hard for me. What advise do you give to maintain the same schedule? Do you recommend getting up @ 4:45am on weekends too, and then taking a nap during the day? I would really like to sleep the minimum about and still feel refreshed. Thanks for your great articles. M Good morning,

I have a question or need advice on dealing with partner/friends that likes to go out on weekends. If I had my way, I would like to be in bed EVERY night @ 10pm.

So, here is my schedule: During the weekdays and on Saturday I wake up @ 4:45am. I usually get to bed anywhere from 9:30pm – 11pm. So I am averaging about 6 – 7 hours sleep. My partners schedule is going to bed late and waking up @ 9am (maybe 10am on weekends).
On Friday and Saturday night we usually stay out later than normal (maybe midnight or 1am), so on Saturday I am a little tired but I make myself get up at 4:45am because I have to run before it gets too hot. After my run and during Saturday I am a little tired but I have a coffee during the day and that gives me the boast that I need. On Sunday I guess in mind I give myself permission to sleep in. I do wake up @ 4:45am – feed the dogs etc but jump back into bed until 9am. When I wake up, I usually have a headache and feel sluggish and upset that I have wasted the morning.

I have no real problems during the weekdays getting up 4:45am it’s just the weekends that are very hard for me.

What advise do you give to maintain the same schedule? Do you recommend getting up @ 4:45am on weekends too, and then taking a nap during the day?

I would really like to sleep the minimum about and still feel refreshed.

Thanks for your great articles.

I breathe the fresh air before the whole community arises. So sleep I may lose at that time I try to take it in the evenings after work, which is about ten to fifteen minutes nap time which I have proven to very helpful in keeping me relaxed.
