I love sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like really, really love sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure what I was like as a kid (Mom?) but as an adult, I really wish work-time came with nap-time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also love mornings. Like really, really love mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I’m up, coffee is poured and the sun is streaming through the front windows, I’m not sure there’s a happier version of me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But my biggest challenge to happiest mornings? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feet to floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to be up early. I am ridiculously productive when I’m up early. I exercise in the morning (after coffee, of course) and I’m a much nicer person to be around when I’m up early. It’s peaceful, expectant, stress-free…hopeful. I even read a book that promised me I could train my brain to wake up at 5am and jump<\/em> out of bed! (It’s called the 5am Club and it’s awesome. Not only because of the whole jumping-out-of-bed thing but also because it’s a super motivating, positive book – check out my review here<\/a>, if you’re interested)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why the hell can’t I get my feet to the floor with any sort of consistency? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been researching habits – breaking bad habits and replacing them with good habits. I think this is a bad habit I need to break. But why is it a habit? The books and articles tell me to ask why I cling to this habit and why sometimes I can get up easily and sometimes, not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, “Why do I struggle to get up?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
