And so it forced me, and since other people in my family had had these, it forced me to get like fanatical about my circadian rhythm, right?
So I was like, I need to get active and wake up and get my body clock so that I'm asleep and awake basically same time every day.
I started going, this sounds stupid.
I started going to sleep in workout clothes because I wanted to be moving first thing in the morning.
And that sounds dumb, but if you wake up in workout clothes, at least for me, my brain goes, am I really going to change out of these?
To get into pajamas?
Or am I going to go work out?
Interesting.
And so now I'm always working out.
I was more of a night owl.
Now I haven't used an alarm in a year.
Workout clothes, waking up first thing in the morning.
So since I'm on East Coast time, I was outside today at 2.30 a.m.
running.
Oh my God.
But it's 5.30 a.m.
for me.
Sure, sure.
For my time.
And in the winter, I'll use like a sun lamp if I have to in the morning, if it's not light enough.
