#076 Figuring it out - the “right” time to wake up

In this week’s episode we try and figure out…

What time we should wake up and go to bed How important morning routines actually are Whether we are getting the best out of our sleeping time.

 

Verity and Charelle decided to talk about their routines and more specifically the times they wake up and go to bed.

Verity is a natural 6.30am riser (and this is a fairly new thing to her) whereas Charelle lives by the Cinderella clock and makes sure she is in bed before midnight.

 

Do you have a morning routine? Do you have an alarm clock? Do you force yourself to wake up early as you feel you should?

 

Verity was naturally a night owl but since attracting a partner and losing bedroom curtains she now happily rises with the dawn chorus. Charelle is used to 1am bedtimes due to her job and has built her routine around a full-time job and side-hustle.

 

Do you wake up at the same time every day; weekends included? Does your environment or who you live with affect your bedtime? Have you read The Miracle Morning?

 

We discuss how important sleep is and how we do need to listen to our own cycle and what works best for us. Also what you do with the first hour of your morning could be more important than the actual time you wake up. We look at evening routines and they could be the secret to a great night's sleep and an alternative for night owls.
