Even though the sun has been rising within ten minutes of the earliest sunrise a few weeks ago, it seems like the best lighting for my photos is happening about 20-30 minutes later than usual. I’m not sure what the reason is for this, but I’ll take it as an opportunity to wake up that much later in the mornings.
Now, being able to wake up earlier and actually doing it are two different things. My body has been conditioned to wake up between 4:35 and 4:45am for over a month, so even though my alarm on my wristband has been set for later, I’ve still been walking up automatically before the alarm goes off.
It is kind of ironic that I started this project partially to help me wake up earlier, but now I am having trouble waking up later.
