I've read a thread on here about waking up early and most people say you don't have to wake up early to be productive and to wake up when you want.

I agree but I have noticed that I get more done when I wake up early and feel a lot better. People that wake up around 10 am go to bed around 2am. If I wake up at 10am I am tired and sleepy by 10pm and wont be able to concentrate on anything but some late night tv.

The problem I have is I dread waking up early but after a few hours I am glad I did. Its kinda like dreading going to the gym, when you are done you are glad you did it.

Any of you have this problem? Any tips on how to overcome this until it becomes a habit?

Thanks in advance
