How I became a morning person

So, my sleep cycle was about like what yours sounds like, I'd often slip back half an hour from one day to the next... But rarely if ever had a sleep cycle under 24 hours. Tried out f.lux a month back, and... Well I'm still on a strange sleep cycle, but a different one. lol. Slept from 8pm yesterday to 3am today, snoozed until 4am. Often I've slept a bit less than normal, but starting far earlier, and waking up early. Maybe that's just a result of only using it for a month, so far.

Probably helps too that I have beige walls and a small desk lamp beside me. Using the desk lamp instead of the full room light / a completely black room helps limit eyestrain.

I have a cheap lamp pointed at the wall behind my monitors that helps immensely with the eyestrain[1]. I like f.lux, but when my schedule gets into full-on night mode, I end up turning it off - especially when working with video[2] or graphics - and forgetting to turn it on it by the time I get back to something more "normal".

1: blinking is a big deal, and I tend not to blink much when tired but focused. Eye drops help.

2: spent a few years working with a company where video is everything.
