        Hello 😃
        Really all it takes is going to sleep at a certain time consistently and your biological clock will do the rest

          Or have a dog that knows when it is time for a walk.

            Or get a cat. A cat will tell you when it’s time to get up.

      I think some would stay awake all night and sleep in the day.

        Yeah, I have a circadian rhythm disorder and my first thought was “oh, somrthing I might actually be able to do!”. But then again I also have ADHD and no internal sense of time so it’d be hard to show up at the right time 😅
