I'm a teacher and a mother of 4 who hates mornings. Doing these 3 things makes them bearable.

I have always hated mornings. My grandparents raised me, and I remember them waking me up and humming and smiling as they got dressed and prepared for the day. I could never figure out why they were so happy to rise with the sun. My grandmother even went to morning mass at 7 a.m. each day. During my teen years, as I rolled out of bed each day, I promised myself that I would find a job that didn't require me to participate in the morning grind.
