Hello all.
One of the things about myself I would really like to change is I'd like to be more of a morning person. For my entire life, I have never been able to properly function first thing in the morning. It doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get, I always wake up a bit tired and it takes me at least an hour to "warm up" and be functioning.
Specifically, I want to be able to do physical activity in the morning. I see people who get up early and go running or something of that nature and for some reason I just can't bring myself to do that. I hit an exercise sweet spot at about 2pm...that's when I really feel strong and like I can get in a good workout.
I bring this up because most surfers get up early to surf first thing in the morning to take advantage of the better wind conditions. I have never been able to do this, even when I know the surf is going to be good. I always feel a bit barfy for an hour or so until I've eaten, had some coffee, and just let my body adjust to being awake for a while. My surfing sweet spot is at about 11am...well after I've had breakfast, had coffee, and then begun to re-hydrate myself. About 11am I can have a banana and then hit the surf and easily put in several hours. But then I usually miss the best wind conditions...
So anyway, certainly there are some morning people on here and I'm curious if it's just something you're born with, or if it's something I can train my body to do. So if it's something you can learn, I'd appreciate any tips you might have. And not the obvious stuff like "don't stay up until 2am drinking Maker's Mark and watching Youtube videos." I already got that tip down! ;D

Star is referring to wake up sex. Cockney slang but used here in the States as well... Nookie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nookie)
Morning sex you say? Nope, never heard of that before. ::)

Star manages to accomplish things that most mortals can only imagine.
