<p>i have morning classes M thru Th and it blows. i got sick... for the first time in 2 years cuz of lack of sleep. i can't believe none of my classes are webcasted this semester. ugh.</p>
<p>who's with me?</p>
<p>Yep. For me, MWF 8 am. It’d be nice if we had just one 8-9 am class and got the rest of the day off (for sleeping, of course).</p>
<p>i had 8am classes every day of the week for the fall and last spring. it sucked at first, but i got used to it. i would just get tired by 11 every night and be in bed by midnight.</p>
<p>but i really don’t like having alternating days of early/late because then i get really screwed up.</p>
<p>It’s soo cold in the morning!</p>
<p>I had a job in SF last semester which started at 9am. After a bit, I got used to waking up at 7am. Now, I no longer have the job and still wake up at 7am each morning–even weekends. Actually, this morning I woke up at 6am and had nothing to do but read until 2pm. Watching the sunrise is something I’m beginning to really enjoy.</p>
<p>Also, going to bed at 8pm while my housemates are pulling all-nighters is incredibly satisfying.</p>
<p>I hate waking up in the mornings. So miserable. Actually, it’s the fact that I have to sleep in a ****** bunk bed (the top one). What am I? 12 years old? Screw triples.</p>
<p>@ektaylor:</p>
<p>what time did you usually wake up before? cuz i’m a total night owl, but my bf thinks i won’t survive after i graduate if i don’t automatically wake up at 7am everyday. i get up early if i HAVE to but i’d really like to see if its even possible to do what you did (learn to get up early). any tips?</p>
<p>Yes. Get up early. lol It’s not being awake at 7 that’s hard. It’s rolling outta the bed, taking a look at the misery outside (and it really is pretty dark and bleak), and thinking, “damn. will it rain?” Bring your umbrella (which is a hassle and something I don’t have), slap on a few jackets for the wind and then come outta class at 930 and find that the damn sun is shining.</p>
<p>I actually like morning classes. I feel I get much more accomplished during the day when I have them. </p>
<p>Sadly, I have none this semester.</p>

<p>Around 9-10am.</p>
<p>Getting into a routine helps. I had a job last summer which began at 8am every day including most weekends, so I forced myself to change my conception of when is “normal” for me to wake up from 9-10am to 6:30-7am. My trusty 4-cup coffee maker helped immensely. Then by the end of the summer I decided that I was getting too dependent on caffeine, so I started ditching the coffee too. Now I’m completely coffee-free and wake up at 7-8am every day including weekends, usually a few minutes before my alarm goes off. I run 2-3 miles every other morning at 7am, which is a good way to shake that dreary early-morning feeling, and I schedule classes or work at 8am on days I don’t run to take advantage of the extra time “gained.”</p>
<p>This is coming from a person who regularly used to go to bed at 3-4am and wake up as late as possible, so it’s definitely doable to change from being a night owl to an annoying - to everyone else - morning person. It just takes a few lifestyle changes like going to sleep earlier on a consistent basis, as well as a conscious decision to look at things a bit differently (my roommate’s idea of a perfect schedule is no classes before 11am so he can sleep in). Within the past two years I’ve also trained myself to go from 8 hours of sleep per night to 7, and then to 6, but that’s more a function of needing the extra time to do reading/homework than anything else.</p>
<p>haha early classes</p>
<p>Don’t take them. It’s not too hard to move your schedule around if you plan ahead of time. This is especially true for upper-division classes which often don’t have to be taken in a specific sequence.</p>
<p>I have 8am class tomorrow!! ahhhh!!!</p>
<p>i plan to never have an 8 o clock ever. but usually classes screw me over.</p>
<p>Last semester I had no 8 AMs (10 AMs were my earliest). This semester i have Latin 102 at 8 am TuTh… I thought UD courses were supposed to be immune to 8 am…</p>
