How to wake up early in the morning?

There was a time when I would consistently wake up between 6.30 and 7.00am in the morning and get to my day's work. I am not sure if that was a time when I was much more efficient or healthier than I am today, but, I sure did not have a guilt complex. For a very long time now, perhaps several years, I have been getting up only past 8.00am. This weighs heavily on my mind on many occassions. I carry a guilt complex the moment I wake up in the morning and carry it through at least the first couple of hours. I did try to get rid of this habit but so far have only been inconsistent on it.


Now, here is a nice article on how to wake up early daily morning. This is pretty good. It explains the basic concept of going to bed only when one is sleepy enough every night and getting up at fixed time every morning. I am going to try this on myself and see how it works. Here is the link -
