Easy Tips to Wake Up Early in the Morning

Shares

I’m convinced that the world is split between two types of people; those that hop up in the morning, bright eyed and ready to take on the day… and those that continue to push the snooze button “just one more time” before slowly drawing themselves out of bed begrudgingly. I happen to fall into the latter category. At least I did…

While I’m still not the world’s cheeriest morning person, I’ve learned some tips and tricks along the way that definitely help make getting up early more bearable.

Tips & Tricks to Becoming a Cheerier Morning Person

Ease into Early Starts

Your body needs time to adjust to waking up early, if you’ve been sleeping in for a while. It’s like getting into a pool of cold water… some people prefer to just jump right in, but most of us need to ease into it. Gradually add 10-15 minutes to your wakeup time each morning, rather than making a drastic change overnight.

Move your Alarm Clark

It’s hard not to fall into the temptation of the snooze button. Move your alarm clock out of arms reach, so you’ll have to get out of the bed to turn it off. This makes it much less likely you’ll fall back asleep.

Make A Morning Incentive

What about mornings makes you dread them the most? Don’t start off that way! Instead, find an activity you like to do (like reading or stretching) and do that first thing instead. Waking up is much easier when you have something to look forward to.

Get Enough Sleep

Just because you’re waking up earlier doesn’t mean only your morning routine will change. Adjust your evening routine to allow you to go to bed sooner, so you’ll be sure to get enough rest.
