Do you hit snooze three times before finally rolling out of bed? Does the thought of getting up early fill you with dread? If you’re not a morning person, don’t despair.
Sleep.com, an information hub that gives advice on how to better your night and morning routines, provides some tips to help you become a cheerful early riser:
- Start by setting your alarm for 15 minutes earlier each day.
- Go to bed 15 minutes earlier each night.
- Eliminate blue light from your bedroom.
- Avoid eating or drinking anything caffeinated close to bedtime.
- Get up and move around right after you wake up.
Healthline, a health and wellness publication, adds that if you are not a morning person, it is most likely that you will not have a productive morning. “One should also have a morning routine to help them through the morning for productivity.”
The above-mentioned source says that the best morning routine for productivity is one that allows you to ease into your day and focus on the most important tasks first.
Some common elements include waking up early and giving yourself time to wake up slowly, drinking a glass of water and getting some light exercise, and lastly, creating a list of your top three priorities for the day.
Remember, becoming a morning person takes time and practice. The key is to be patient and consistent and before you know it, you will be jumping out of bed and ready to greet the day with a smile.
