Early to bed and early to rise . . .

(I don't have to finish it for you, do I?)

While I am an early riser, I know many people aren't (and some of these people would like to be). There are also many people who label themselves as either "morning people" (aka Early Risers) or "night people". By placing these labels we imply that our inclinations are set in stone by genetics and that we can't alter them.

Back in May of 2005, Steve Pavlina wrote a post about this that created quite an online stir. I contributed to that stir as well here and here.

Then fast forward to this week, when I read a new post on this subject on the Zen Tricks blog that takes a slightly different approach, but ends up at the same place - you can alter your habits to become a morning person/early riser.

This may be interesting for you as your job situation is changing and your schedule is being altered. Perhaps you are looking for some more productive time, time to exercise or pray/reflect/meditate. Most people find the morning and excellent time for all of these activities.

Or perhaps you have a friend who is interested. In any case all of these resources can be valuable to you!

And so, what time did you get up this morning?
