#30 - Wake up every morning at 6am for two weeks (M-F) (54/101).

A 6am wake up is early for me. I am ok waking up at 6:30/7/8 but when my alarm is set before 6:00am, I have trouble. Over the last year, I have shifted my routine to start waking up earlier, working out before going to work and going to bed earlier. But, I have only taken it so far - my "waking up early" is setting my alarm for 7am. I decided I wanted to push myself to wake up before 6:00am for a couple weeks. Full disclosure - I chose to try waking up before 6:00am for two weeks directly following a trip to Israel and on a trip to Vienna, so I did have time change on my side. Either way, I did it and I have to say, it was pretty tough. A few pros and cons:

Pros:

• I had more daylight time and had good energy in the morning, I felt extremely productive in the morning and afternoon.
• I arrived at work earlier, which allowed me to achieve more earlier on and leave work earlier. 

Cons:

• I was hungrier. Usually I drink a green smoothie for breakfast that lasts me until lunch, during my two weeks I had to eat a snack before lunch along with my smoothie.
• I got tired much earlier. A couple of nights, I had dinner with friends and could barely keep my eyes open as it neared 8:30/9:00pm. 

All in all, I am glad I tried waking up before 6:00am for a couple weeks but I do not think I will be consistently waking up before 6:00am anytime soon.
