Waking up early gets my brain going before I have to start work. If I sleep past 6:45 a.m., I'll usually experience brain fog, which can feel like a combination of common ADHD symptoms, such as forgetfulness, distractibility, or the inability to focus on details. To avoid this, I force myself to get out of bed to shut off my alarm clock that's blaring from across the room. I've found that if I wake up early, I'm better able to buckle down when it's time.
