My least favorite part of birding

I’ve always been a night owl, so I struggle with waking up early. No matter how early I go to bed, I fall asleep around 11:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m., so setting an alarm for 6 a.m., knowing I’ll only get 6 hours of sleep, always makes me second-guess birding in the morning. I know it’s mental. Once I wake up, I feel great because I left the house and went out to do something I love. But getting there is half the battle.
