10 years ago, I'd snooze until the last moment and then rush to get ready on time. No idea why; just couldn't force myself out of bed.

Today (including, literally, this morning) I'm awake at least 15-30 minutes before my alarm goes off. Wake up ritual is basically:

• Pee
• Put coffee on
• Let dogs outside
• Have coffee on the patio while the dogs do their business and play
• Answer any texts/messages that came in after I went to bed
• Check the news and weather
• If time allows, read a chapter of whatever book I'm on
• Start getting ready for work

I think the change was realizing those extra 20-30 minutes of sleep (if I could even get back to sleep at all) weren't going to make me any more awake when I do have to get up. Then it was just a matter of figuring out how to use that time effectively.
