Morning People Suck!

Ok maybe “suck” is a little harsh but they ARE pretty annoying. I come into work at about 11 everyday and even that is sometimes to early for me. I have checked and checked and it turns out that “6:00am – 8:00am” aren’t even on my alarm clock. So good for you people that can get up and just be chipper right as you roll out of bed. You have to give me 3 hours before I can start forming complete sentences. More good news for you early risers (bad news for me) is a study from the University of Toronto found that not only are morning people happier and more energetic in the morning but they are happiest with life overall. As we get older and older we start to wake up earlier and that has to do with our brains adjusting to what makes them happier. Only about 7% of people aged 17-39 say they are morning people and the same amount of people ages 59-79 say they are night owls.

Speaking of weird sleeping facts, something you thought you grew out of when you were young may be the thing that is keeping you awake at night. Find out after the jump!

Laying in bed and watching TV helps but it still takes me about 2 full hours before I am completely awake. I just don’t understand how people can pop up at 4am and be all jolly by 4:30. Thankfully I found this list of 5 ways to kick start your brain in the morning for when I have to get up before 10am. If you have the same problem you should take a look after the jump!
