Hella Tired In The Morning?
You guys. I was going to do a masterlist of websites a lot time ago but totally forgot about it (something you’ll have to get used to *abnoxious laughing*) I’ll get it done, I promise! In the meantime, I felt like I’ve been struggling with the problem of feeling absolutely exhausted the next morning. I mean, no, I haven’t been getting enough sleep because I’ve been studying a lot. (Also, I don’t recommend this and I’m trying to stop because no matter how successful you want to be, you also need lots and lots of sleep, so by all means please take care of yourself !!)
1). Drink water.
Drinking water first thing in the morning has so many benefits (!!). It boosts your metabolism, helps you flush out toxins, helps power your brain - really good before school, obvioiusly - and also wakes you up in the morning. I typically drink 2-3 glasses before I leave for school. Don’t have time? Drink one glass with breakfast and at least you’re somewhat hydrated. Seriously. Just do et!
2). Do a little exercise.
I think we all know how great exercising is good for you. It helps boost your metabolism in the morning and does a great job at waking you up in the morning. You don’t have to shoot for a solid hour (or even 20 minutes) of exercise. Just do a few jumping jacks or sit-ups. Anything will help.
3). caffeine is p gr8.
Go drink some coffee or something. If you don’t like coffee, tea is still an awesome way to boost your body up.
4). Don’t stick to a morning routine.
Morning routines are fantastic. Any routines are fantastic. But if you’re tired, routines can seem more monotonous and may not help your “sleepy” situation. Try to do something a little out of your norm. Fix a new meal or do something out of order. A little change might perk up your attitude and keep you on your feet.
5). Get pumped up!!
There’s nothing better than getting ready in the morning and listening to some of those sick beats to get you motivated. I typically stick to hard classic rock or top 40, but anything that gets you moving works!
6). Shower.
Personally, I’m a night shower-er so showering in the morning is rare for me. I do shower in the mornings, however, if I need to wake up in the morning. Just don’t get the water too warm. You’ll end up falling asleep, not that I’m speaking from experience, of course.
7). Eat a big breakfast.
Eating breakfast starts your metabolism up. It also can help get your brain started, making you more alert. Plus, breakfast is important so you should defs do it anyway.
8). If at all possible, sleep a little later.
For some people, this is impossible, or it makes the problem worse. Still, I typically am able to, if I know I’m going to pull a late-nighter, put out exactly what I need for the next morning to get ready. That so I can sleep during that extra time that on a normal day I’d be stressing out about what to wear.
9). Dress up a little.
Going to school in sweatpants and a hoodie is fab. Like, trust me, it’s the best. And I’m all for wearing whatever you want. But if you have only gotten four hours of sleep the night before, comfy clothes are just going to make you feel relaxed and you might be extra tempted to fall asleep during class. Trust me, it sucks.
