Episode 2778:

Steve Pavlina shares his journey from being a habitual night owl to becoming a productive early riser. He explains the common pitfalls of sleep strategies and reveals a simple yet effective method: going to bed only when truly sleepy and waking up at a consistent time every day. This approach not only increases productivity but also improves overall restfulness and efficiency.

Quotes to ponder:

"It’s hard to become an early riser using the wrong strategy. But with the right strategy, it’s relatively easy."

"I promptly set my alarm clock for 5AM and the next morning, I got up just before noon."

"My sleepiness test is that if I couldn’t read a book for more than a page or two without drifting off, I’m ready for bed."
