making changes

Good morning to you! I hope you had a nice start to your week. My day yesterday was quite productive, which was wonderful. For the past four months or so I've had this plan. Its basic really. I would love to get up early and take Duncan on a walk/jog, then do pilates. That is all; I'm not asking much of myself. I, however, am a big night owl and definitely not a morning person. I get my second wind around 9:30 at night and don't get to bed until almost midnight. Oh, I'm also a bit high maintenance - I need eight hours of sleep minimum. What to do! Have any of you successfully made a schedule shift? How did you do it?
