Early risers - how do you do it?

[nancyclancy123]

My New Years resolution is to get up earlier in the mornings. Week days (term time) I have to for work/school runs but I feel I waste the weekends/school holidays by sleeping in.
I’d love to be a naturally early riser and on the occasions I do get up early I’m happier for doing do. I love the idea of being up and ready before the kids and having some time for myself. Any suggestions gratefully received

Try becoming peri-menopausal.

Awake at 4am every bastard morning.

One of my resolutions this year is to get up with the daylight (within reason, it's still dark at 8am just now and I don't intend getting up at 3.30am in June).

I've got even worse for lying in since WFH as instead of getting up at 7 to leave the house at 8 to get to work by 8.30, I now roll out of bed at 8. Sometimes I'll leave it as late as 8.25, trundle downstairs, log on and answer any urgent emails, accept Teams meetings etc then wander back upstairs for a bath.

I really need to get into better habits.
