During pregnancy, I'd take my time waking up. Finding my spirit and aligning my thoughts through my hypnagogic state was effortless. I'd love waking up slowly. I had time to enjoy that peaceful feeling between sleep and wake. Amongst those moments, I was in tuned with a positive intuition in it's purest form. Remembering parts of my dreams before being swept away by wake, uncovered special answers that naturally I'd lose during consciousness.

Now that I'm a mom I've had to plan getting up at least a few minutes earlier to luxuriate under the covers. So I set my alarm at 6AM, so I can get everything down without censoring.
I try to set my intention to remember my dreams but as I compete with sleep and my hypnotic state, sleep often takes over, eliminating that part of my "feel good" essentials.
Now my husband complains that the alarm clock wakes him up and he can't fall back asleep. He banks on that extra 30 minutes.
Relationships are a compromise. But darn, this one feels nonnegotiable.
Any Solutions?
