Do This, Not That: 19 Tips for Becoming a Morning Person [Infographic]

I wasn't always a morning person. Whether I was actually doing something productive or just sitting in my bed watching reruns of The West Wing, I remember relishing those late night hours. In those days, sleeping in until 11:00 a.m. was second nature.
