Research tells us that night owls have an internal clock with a 24.5 hour day while morning larks’ clocks run at less than 24 hours. This genetic characteristic separates us midnight oil burners from the perky morning crew. According to sleep doctors you can reset your internal clock. Start by figuring out how much sleep you need exactly and get it. Expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. Start going to bed 15 minutes earlier each night, using a melatonin supplement if you wish. Stick to your new schedule, even on weekends and holidays. The best advice, however, may come from KEXP morning DJ John Richards who advises getting your dream job because: “if you don’t love where you are going, it will never be easy to wake up.”
