"Ughh, mornings!" That's how I've felt for most of my life. Once I was up I actually loved tackling the projects of the day, but that getting out of bed piece? That was hard. After many failed attempts at fitting myself to other people's morning routines (cold showers? meditation? green smoothies? no thank you) I finally crafted a morning routine that worked for me. On this episode I share how I developed this new routine, why standard morning routines just didn't work for me as a non-morning person, why the new routine works for me, and what to consider when building your own morning routine.  Referenced in the episode: Interview with sleep specialist Dr. Shelby Harris @sleepdocshleby on IG on Episode 118 Hatch Sunrise Alarm Clock Jall Sunrise Alarm Clock
