After reading a post by Steve Pavlina I thought if  I could become a natural early riser, i.e, someone that gets up really early in the morning and has no problem with that. I felt curious when I read that, after turning into an early riser, he became more productive and felt more refreshed throughout the day.

Being someone who always thought that I *really* need 9 hours of sleep everyday (no matter the time I get up or go to sleep), I just had to try for myself.

I must say that I'm usually not into that whole "personal development" thing that Steve Pavlina advertises and sells, but I decided to give his advice a try. In essence:

Get up every day at the same time (I chose 7am), no matter the time you go to bed; Go to bed only when you are really sleepy. Like when you can't read one page of a book without dozing off.

I'm currently in day 4 of the experiment and the first 2 days were - for obvious reasons - a bit chaotic. Although I was really productive, it felt like I didn't sleep enough. Did I mention these 2 days were Saturday and Sunday? :)

Let me know if you tried something like this and what were your results.
