Do you keep your routines the same on the weekends or days off? Sometimes I find it hard to get up early after a long week.

Weekend routine is different as it seems to be more time in the morning /afternoon to take things with ease. Go out for breakfast take a walk etc

I personally have been going to bed before midnight (get into bed about 11.30-45 so I’m sound asleep by the time it is midnight) every working day of the week as it is the best time for a good rest and getting up at 8 in the morning without snoozing. And naturally I will be waking up at 8 even on the weekends. I do sleep in a little longer on Sundays though to treat myself :) As long as you go to sleep at the same time and get up at the same time, it comes naturally to get up early even if you don’t need to as long as you give yourself 7-8 hours of regular good sleep. Another Brill advice I found and follow - before bed: 1.no watching TV or playing/chatting/surfing on your phone (their light disturbs sleep production in the brain) 2.no exercise (gentle stretching an hour before bed is still OK) 3.maximise darkness (make sure you close the curtains and switch off any annoying little lights from any electrical devices) 4.if you wake up at night, DO NOT turn on the light, go by touch in the dark otherwise you’ll wake up and won’t get to sleep properly again if at all. Hope it helps and have a lovely sleep tonight! :D

No I have a different routine for the weekends. More relaxed - obviously & different exercise. Mountain Biking is my THiNG ... so that takes up a fair chunk & relaxing more etc.

No, I change them up on the weekends. Life isn’t cookie cutter - and this app is just a guide to help establish the parameters of how we want to live :)

Following the routine daily is a challenge for me I am not able to do anything consistently. Even if I try to repeat it again on the next it’s impossible to consistent on time. It’s really sad that I am not being able to make it.

I try to do that, but sometimes I find it to difficult. On those days I still do all my taks only on a different time. For me that’s the most important thing and I feel proud if I manage to do everything.

Normally I do keep it the same, but on the times I need to take it easy I skip it or I don’t spend as much time on it. I check with myself with whether I am just being lazy or it’s something more. It’s ok to be lazy once in awhile too. Maybe you need a mental break.

You have to be close to your week day routine because if you over sleep by just an hour you will get a headache and dehydrated

Depends sometimes I change up times on weekends but don’t give up even if you wanna sleep in make sure to get it done even if the time is slightly off. Doing it at some point during the day is better than not doing it at all.

No, they are not the same. I may sleep longer, however, I will do some of the morning habits at the weekend, probably in a slower way.
