Tell your system it can adjust right away. Swish and anchor the state you want to be in when you wake up and the adjusting is done. You might surprise your original self :-).

This month I'm really focusing on rising early everyday, but I suspect that in time I will have the flexibility to stay up late and sleep in on some days. I think it's about finding a rhythm that fits your lifestyle and gives you the most benefits. If you're visiting parties a lot, waking early might just not do the trick for you.

If you get this far, you'll sure be able to turn it into a habit. So far waking up early has been quite easy for me, but I'm only on day 2 :) I read Steve's post a while back along with a couple of other posts on other blogs, you can check them here: <a href="http://blog.lodewijkvdb.com/2007/07/night-owl-taking-a-shot-at-being-an-early-bird.html" rel="nofollow">Night Owl taking a shot at being an Early Bird</a> Hi Cristina,

I tried to wake up early in the past and I noticed that every time I woke up early and had 3 hours to myself my day was much better. I would also have less migraines. However, I had never tried to turn it into a habit. Now it's been the real thing. I've been waking up everyday at 5. Sometimes I wake up before my alarm clock (mobile phone). I added a supporting habit to this one: I don't eat after 7:30 (this is difficult here in Portugal because we usually dine late). Digestion detracts the quality of sleep. So far, it's been great. Later I intend to "upgrade" my waking up hour to 4:30. Cristina in Lisboa, Portugal Hi,

The alarm function still works when the phone is off. If it wasn't I would definitely buy a separate alarm clock. The phone is switched off indeed.

You're braver than me! I'd recommend turning the phone part of the phone off if possible while leaving the alarm function on. I wouldn't want to be radiated all night long!!!

Leo Babauta is the blogger behind Zen Habits. On his forum there's a section for the august challenge. The link was not up when I published the post, I added it now. Check it out, look forward to joining forces in achieving our goals. @Stephan: I plan to hit the bed no later than 23:00. I need an average of around 6 hours sleep per night. @David: Sure you can be involved. Leo Babauta is the blogger behind Zen Habits. On his forum there’s a section for the august challenge.

Sounds like an ambitious plan; I admire your determination.
As a notorious late sleeper with chronical lack of sleep I will be following your experiment with interest.

At what time are you planning to go to bed when you have reached your goal?
