I changed this one thing…

…and now I wake up before my alarm, and fully well-rested.

That one thing is not working from your bed.

We’ve all heard many people/experts advising against working from bed for a myriad of reasons. One of them is that then your brain can not make a distinction that your bed is a place for resting & not working and it disrupts your sleep cycle.

I never gave it a serious thought to try it until last week when the circumstances became conducive to trying this idea out.

I changed my residence a week ago and at my new place, I have a couch in my room.

Now before you jump to the comment section and question why I can’t work from a desk like a normal person — I can’t, for reasons that are not important/relevant to this post.

So I made the transition and for the last one week, I have been working from my couch. I also made/followed this strict rule of not taking my work MacBook to my bed under any circumstances.

And boy, was it revolutionary for me!

On the very first day I did this I fell asleep relatively earlier than my usual bedtime & woke up the next day before my alarm. Fully well-rested but wondering if I am in some parallel universe.
