BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID

RULE #1

YOU CANNOT SHORT-SELL BIOLOGY.

Waking up at 5:00 AM on four hours of sleep does not make you a titan of industry; it makes you a hazard behind the steering wheel by noon.

RULE #2

FIX BEDTIME BEFORE FIXING ALARMS.

If you want to own the morning, you must first surrender your phone at 10:30 PM. The morning routine starts the night before.

FREQUENTLY AVOIDED QUESTIONS

Why do I set 8 consecutive alarms?

Because you have trained your subconscious brain that the first 7 alarms are polite suggestions.

Does cold water immediately fix sleepiness?

It will shock you into consciousness, but it will not replace the REM sleep you stole from yourself.
