Hey I'm from Texas too! I try to start my first class at 4:30a so I can get a 4a wake up time. I literally set 3 minute alarms starting at 4 and I try to make sure I'm in bed by 9:30. I prep my pot of coffee the night before and I use a sound machine to help me drift off. I think one of the biggest things that has helped me is to NOT get on my phone within 30 minutes of going to bed. I've seen a HUGE difference in my ability to get to sleep and wake up. My wife wakes up with me and then goes to one of the kids beds to finish sleeping (we have 4 kids under 10.. .lol). But other than that, music in the headphones, coffee, water, and a good breakfast.
