Early morning wake ups turned into gym habit
Started this medication about 6 weeks back and noticed I kept waking up around 5:30-6AM without any alarm. Didn't connect it to the medication until seeing other people mention same thing here. Since I was just laying there with nothing to do, figured might as well use the time for something productive so started hitting gym in morning hours
Now I'm going 5-6 times per week before work and it became routine. The early wake ups don't happen as much anymore but my sleep schedule shifted completely - going to bed earlier and getting up earlier feels natural now
If someone told me 2 months ago I'd be gym person at 6AM regularly I would laugh at them. This lifestyle change was totally unexpected benefit from treatment and really happy about how things worked out
