I don't understand how kids help.

Sure they will get you to wake up earlier. Even if the kids themselves are night owls, you don't decide when school starts. But it is not so different from any other obligation.

Waking up early is easy, you just need a loud enough alarm clock. Doing so without being in a constant state of jet lag is the hard part.

Lots of international travel helps. If you're jetlagged from going to a different continent every week or so, when you're awake and asleep doesn't really factor into it.

I can't imagine ever getting used to jet lag. It is the most uncomfortable feeling that I am routinely exposed to. Feels like my body is failing.

Pretty much how it feels as a night owl forced to get up by 9am. A bit tired all day, want to go back to bed, then suddenly awake when it gets dark even though I've had no rest since rising.
