Hi everyone,
Anyone else snowbound today? Phila was hit pretty hard early on. Snowing again now!
Does anyone have any tips for how to get up early without disturbing your sleeping partner? I have traditionally been a morning exerciser (the only way I will get a workout in). For several yeras, my husband & I woke up around the same time (about 5:45-6:00). This allowed me some decent workout time before heading to work. I have been on&off my usual routine for about the past year (for a variety of reasons), and have spent the past several weeks exploring new strategies for re-establishing a regular routine.
I have a different job now, & while the hours are good (flexible on some days),I have come to realize that getting an earlier start on my day (5:00-5:15) would allow me to accompish more & feel less rushed. I am also desperate for a more disciplined schedule, and miss my early morning regimens & the sense of well-being they provided.
The problem is, my husband gets his feathers ruffled if his nest is disturbed before the 5:45 alarm. We have two alarm clocks, but I need mine a little louder to jolt me out of bed. He has risen at the same time every day for years, and wakes practically automatically. I am hoping that with a little practice, I will eventually adapt to a new wake-up time and merely require a gentle reminder. In the meantime, though, I don't wan't to abandon my workout plans out of fear of disturbing my poor sleeping prince.
I'm sorry to be so long winded. I actually feel pretty silly posting this question. Don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but this really is a problem (at least for now).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
michele
