I loved your insight on this. I fully agree, this has inspired me to get back on my early rising cycle…lately, I have been waking around 6:30am, and I prefer 5am.

Sorry for not getting back to you any quicker! Bright lamps are definitely worth you checking out. I have been using one while I am back in the UK to sort out my jet lag and I find that it has really helped! Now that I am in Australia I do not have as much of a use for one as I am constantly outside in the sunshine!!!

Something they are definitely good for in winter (or if it is dark when you want to wake up) is the alarm clock version that slowly simulates the sun rising until it creates the effect of daylight. It is an incredibly soothing way to wake up and is also quite energising.

I’ve just blogged roughly around this subject here: http://www.energiseforlife.com/wordpress/1801/how-to-combat-seasonal-affective-disorder

Let me know what you think!

This morning I got up at 8:15am….why? Because I went to bed at 5am last night. I can thank Kapil, Paul and Lee for that. At any rate….I am now officially becoming a morning person, and amazing myself with how much I can actually get done before dawn; even with a fair amount of foot dragging and procrastination. [...]

Great work – getting up aeap (as early as possible) is definitely the number one way to increase productivity! Have you looked into buying a bright light lamp? I have been using one for jet lag for the past few days – but I have found them really useful for increasing the quality (and therefore decreasing the quantity) of my sleep too.
