try to do/ try doing

[Pooh]

1. You should try getting up earlier in the mornings.
2. you should try to get up earlier in the mornings.

What is the difference b/w the two sentences?
I read my grammar book but still not sure. Xp

Not much in this case, and nothing that I can articulate. What does your grammar book say about these sentences? With other verbs, there are considerable differences: 'I stopped smoking' vs 'I stopped to smoke.'

Yes, my book also mentioned "stop to do" and "stop doing".
In this case, the difference is very clear and I was easily able to understand.
But this case, I wrote here and not from my grammar book, I couldn't see much different as you also said.
That's why I wrote them here. OK, so these are not much different, I understand.

Let me ask you another question with "try".

3. She tried to call him.
4. She tried calling him.

Does 3 indicate that she tried but actualluy couldn't call him in the end?
Or she tried and could actually call him in the end?
Or we will never know which by the sentence?

[Mister Micawber]

3. She tried to call him.
4. She tried calling him.

Ah, yes, these two.

#3: She may or may not have actually reached a telephone.
#4: She reached a phone and dialed but e.g. there was no answer.

We presume that she could not reach him in both cases.
