Can you learn to be a morning person?

I'm utterly fed up of waking up in the chaos of my kids and husband all being busy.
I'm traditionally not a morning person, I'm known to be a bit grumpy of a morning unless plied with coffee.

I don't want to start my days like this anymore so I'm considering setting my alarm a bit earlier everyday until I'm up early to allow me time to myself to relax and have my coffee in peace and quiet.

So has anyone learned to do this? Learned to love mornings? Is it possible or am I setting myself up to fail?

I am natural night owl, and will still have to make myself go to bed, otherwise I'd be up to 2 am.
But now I get up most days at 6. (6:30 since lock down - lie -in!)

2 things help

  1. go to bed, and go to sleep. It is easier as you switch your body clock to a 6 am start, and then it does get easier to go to sleep.
  2. get up when your alarm goes, otherwise it is awful
  3. Make sure there is one day in the week when you can sleep til you wake naturally

I love being up before kids. I sit looking down the garden and pray
