When I first read this headline I just assumed he'd had a child. Low paying: check Early morning: check Exertion requiring: check Not that it's not extremely worth it of course.
Being woken up at 7am and getting that daily dose of smiles is exactly the same if not better!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've actually experimented a fair amount with my sleeping patterns. For the most part, I find that when I wake up in the morning, I feel tired no matter what (up until around ~10 hours of sleep). What I've also found, however, is that this tiredness usually doesn't translate to how I feel for the rest of the day — I feel good all day no matter whether I get 6 or 8 hours.
Stop drinking coffee. About 7 years ago I cut out all caffeine and I've found myself being less tired and more alert in the morning. Granted there are days where I don't want to drag myself out of bed mainly when I know I need sleep, but I no longer feel like a zombie until coffee in the mornings.
"Optimizing for 6 hours of sleep" "every day, getting out of bed is one of the hardest things I do" "Every night, when I crawl into bed, I’m exhausted by all I’ve done that day." Your body may be telling you that you need seven hours of sleep. Or eight. How would your life change if you went to sleep an hour earlier, but you woke up feeling good?

I felt the same way until I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, even though I don't have any of the usual symptoms such as snoring, obesity, etc.

I'd much rather do that than pay to join a gym. Feels more productive and helpful.

Each one of his "issues" for me, are helped by kids.
They "help" me get up early, they keep me grounded and my tech-world concerns mean nothing to them.
I could be mistaken, but I mapped the route and it looked like his job entails biking 1.6 miles . Big whoop.
I have to wake up at 4am and I'm done for the day at noon. It's been a week so far and I'm loving it!
I wake up, put on some Nujabes[1] and make myself a cup of coffee. Then get to work (I work from home). It's magnificent! By the time I have to pick up my son from school at noon, I'm done for the day with the entire afternoon free to me.
I'm going to have trouble switching back to a regular 9-to-5. Waking up early is almost pure pro's and minimal con's.
