If I wake up before 6am on both weekend days, than I'm up by 5am during the week, even though I don't have to be to work until 10am. My body is done resting, so if I allow myself to go back to sleep I'm tired all day long.
II find taking a small dose of melatonin (1-2 mg) about a half-hour before going to bed helps a lot. I don't take it regularly but will do so every so often - especially if I've got to get up extra early in the morning to do a long ride, for example. Scott
Hey that's a good trick! Last Saturday night I went to bed at 9 in order to get up at 4am. I fell asleep right away, which almost never happens. I'm always too wired to fall asleep right away before an early morning event.
