Hello all!

We just wrapped up a 6 AM wakeup challenge.  It was awesome!  However, not everyone wants to or even should wake up at 6. 

Regardless of what time you choose, everyone can benefit from having a steady wakeup time that matches their lifestyle.  That is the point of this challenge.

Just record what time you wake up every day.  If you wake up at 6, then record a 600.  If you wake up at 830, then record an 830.  You'll be able to see whether you're consistently hitting your mark!

One thing I learned from the last challenge is how unbelievably well the wake up drill in the Tools Checklist works.  Take a few deep breaths, smile, jump out of bed and fill up your chest with a huge invigorating breath.  It works so well.  Personally, by the time I walk to the bathroom and splash water in my face, I am now totally wide awake!

Here are some additional resources on waking up and falling asleep:
