[...] making fruit smoothies in the morning which is probably the best thing to happen to my routine (I wrote about how important morning routines are). It’s as easy as buying some bananas, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries–then [...]

Devin, you may have me convinced…I definitely agree that morning people get more done. I’ll have to take biphasic sleeping for a test drive; as it stands already, I take a 25 minute nap when I get home from work, but I like the idea of breaking my dependence on large chunks of sleep…I’ve never been a morning person so we’ll see how it goes…

What time do you go to bed to get up that early?

I can’t truely “wake up” without having a 15 minute (almost) 100% hot shower. Then comes the caffeine, then I do breakfast, dressed, etc.

This depends if I work in the morning or not. However, M-Th I get up at 5am, go run for an hour, shower, eat breakfast, read various websites/check email, then head off to school at 8am. My first class isn’t until 11am, but it’s nice to catch up on studying, or perhaps what is going on in the school paper. You are right, its much better to get these things done in the AM so you can relax in the PM.

I’m an early riser (5:30-6:00 a.m.), but a slow waker.

The first thing I do is drink a full glass of water.

Then I get the espresso machine going while I hit the john.

Next I turn on the computer so I can listen to my reggae station, then check the weather and news while I drink that espresso (a guy with a roaster lives right down the street, so I always have fresh beans).

I make some breakfast, but I get up and skank around when a really good song comes on.

It takes me an hour and a half to fully wake, but by then I’ve got a nice energy buzz going.

Hi Shiv, I remember when I was doing the same for a while. I'd work one job 8-5 and the next from 6-12 (or even later). Good. Times. I'm still doing biphasic sleep every other day. ;) Thanks, Zach. It's comments like yours that answer the question: "why do I blog?"

Mornings are great when I make use of them. I’ve forced myself to schedule work hours early and to not postpone them because I get so much more done early on in the morning.

I’d just like to also say that I really enjoy reading your website. Your posts are often thought provoking and inspiring enough to make me re-evaluate how I organize myself on a regular basis. Thank you.

I’m a morning person, 5:30/6 am on average :) It sucks when you’re working past 10 pm, though, then you’re just tired. I take it you’re off of your weird sleeping for thirty minute intervals, now?
