The shitty part for me is that I can't sleep past 7 or 8 either, even on weekends. I just lay in bed with my eyes shut for an hour.
Ditto. I can be out partying till 2am and sure enough...I'll be up at 7ish. It really intensifies the hangover to say the very least.

I become into a huge morning person on vacations. Don't mind waking up earlier so I have that much longer in the day to enjoy my vacation surroundings. Also more of a morning person on my days off for the same reason(to have more time to enjoy the day).
I do this as well. I wake up earlier on the weekends and on vacation than I do for work.

What time are you going to bed? I find that my body is naturally pushing me to get up after 7-8 hours of sleep. I can't remember the last time I slept past 9 am.

Start getting up when you wake up. Even if it's just to do something relaxing like watching a show on the DVR.
I sleep in on the weekends, but to me that just means I don't set an alarm and whenever I wake up, I get up.

Usually around 11. I don't get tired before that.
Wake up around 6/6:30, no morning meetings I can hit snooze until 7ish. Only have a 10 minute commute to work.

Before puberty, I was a morning person, but ever since, waking up has usually been the worst part of my day. I loathe it entirely. Unless I've got some major shite to do, it's always a struggle.

On a bachelor party, last weekend, you were awake at 7 AM playing around on YouTube after a longgggggg night.

I know this because you woke me up slapping your keyboard like a teenage girl.

I switch a few times a year. It mostly depends on what you're looking forward to doing. When I'm in the habit of hitting the gym, I'm out of my door at 5:30 every morning without being tired. If I am going to directly to work, I drag myself out of bed at 7.

So if you wake up at 6:30, your mind is firing on all cylinders before 7:30? Impressive man. Takes me some coffee, morning news, and some breakfast.

No. I've been getting up at 6:30 my entire life and I hate it. Won't ever get used to it.

It was like 9:30. You didn't crawl out of bed until like 11:00.

That's absolute hogwash. We were at the boat launch at 11. I looked at my clock and it was 7.
I yelled at you, you left, and our other friend came in and had time to sleep.

Not the point of this thread. Waking up anyone earlier than they want to get up on a bachelor party is town square lynching worthy though.

In the morning, your cortisol rises until it peaks in 8 am. Coffee increases cortisol. If you stay up later than you should, your body produces more cortisol to keep you awake (and will not peak at 8 am).
I believe non-morning people (me) do not have correct cortisol levels or stay up too late.

I am the opposite. I hate waking up and getting out of my comfortable bed early before work. It takes me over an hour for my mind to wake up even when I drink coffee the minute I get up. I get plenty of sleep, but it doesn't help.
It's all about setting a rhythm for your body. I was NEVER a morning person and hated mornings. Once the kid was born though, that changed. Now the wife and I both get up at 530am every morning, on the weekends its 630am. We go to bed at around 9-10 every night. We have a specific routine we stick to in the mornings and rarely have issues.

I haven't been able to so far.

Viagra tadalafil combo will make you a morning person.
But exorcise, diet, going to bed early changed me from a non morning person. Now I get up a 4am every morning before my alarm goes off. Go to bed around 9

Me? Pretty much. I don't enjoy waking up, but my mind is 100% within a few minutes. I do some of my best thinking in the shower which is task #1.
I wasn't trying to knock you. I was commenting on what I thought was the concern you were expressing. Over an hour before you feel like your brain is in gear seems extreme. But maybe I misunderstood what you meant.

OP have kids yet?
Kids mentioned yet? Pre-k kids are ALL morning people. And they give zero fricks if you are or aren't.
