7 Tips on How to Become a Morning Person
1. Prepare for work/school the night before
set things out that you need to do
pack your backpack or work bags
make your breakfast ahead of time
make sure you have a yummy breakfast so you have something to look forward to in the morning
2. Get to bed early enough that you get 6-9 hours of sleep per night
sleep is important to physical and mental health
when you sleep more then your performance at school/work will be much better than if you get less sleep
sleep can help better cope with emotions
studies have shown adequate sleep can help combat depression, eating disorders and substance abuse
3. Wake up at the same time everyday
this helps to regulate your body’s clock
when done repeatedly this makes it easier to wake up
your body is less likely to know when to start feeling sleepy
this will make you likely to push your bedtime later and further deprive yourself of rest
the body needs some time to get you ready to wake up
when you hit snooze it allows your body to settle and enter another cycle of sleep
if you hit snooze a second time then your body gets a groggy, fuzzy-headed feeling called sleep inertia
the more you hit snooze, the more confused your body and brain gets
5. When you wake up open your curtains and make your bed
opening your curtains and letting in natural light will let your body know its morning
if it’s still dark outside just turn on the lights
making your bed lets your brain know that the day has begun
this also decreases the chance of crawling back into bed
this accomplishment will set the tone for the rest of day and will encourage you to continue to be productive
when you sleep, your muscles lose tone and fluid tends to pool along your back
stretching helps massage fluid back into the normal position
stretching can be a great way to get ready physically and mentally into the day
healthy morning rituals set the tone for the rest of the day
it may take some time to master your morning routine
but once you have one try to stick to it
many productivity expert recommends a morning routine in order to start the day
when making a routine think about what kind of person you are
“don’t talk to me before my coffee” person?
sharing your routine with someone? (an s/o or roommate?)
do you like having breakfast with others?
accountability is always a good idea
Waking up earlier and being productive was one of my New Years resolutions! I hope this helps you as well!
