I wake up between 4am and 5am at least 97% of the year, whether I have work that day or not. And I don’t wake up to an alarm blaring an obnoxious sound like there’s some emergency weather alert. My body just wakes up naturally at that time. I do have an alarm set for

Personal And Business Weekend Plans
Usually I go to bed around midnight, but last night I thought it would be a good idea to get to sleep a bit earlier at around 11:20. Not a groundbreaking change by any means, but as a dad of 3 kids 4 and under… every minute counts. Naturally, I woke up at 4:45am ready
