For several reasons, waking up early is one of the hardest habits to concur for many people and even myself. Because of this common dilemma, I have given 25 tips on how to wake up early and make sure you stay up:
- Go to bed early
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day
- Make a morning ritual
- Reward yourself when you wake up on time
- Make sure the temperature and the air freshness are at the levels you want
- Use multiple alarm clocks
- Ask someone else to wake you up on time (a much better alarm clock)
- Take a short afternoon nap
- Save something special for the morning, such as a tv show you recorded
- Make a great breakfast as soon as you get up
- Put your alarm clock far away from your bed
- Avoid having too much Alcohol
- Avoid having too much Caffeine
- Avoid eating right before bed
- Avoid sleeping pills
- Put yourself under pressure by setting the alarm off so it gives you just enough time to get ready
- Set your alarm earlier, but allow yourself to hit the snooze button a certain amount of times
- Wake up to music
- Try out different alarm clocks with different sounds and see what works
- Do it for 3-4 weeks to make sure you form a habit
- Don’t stay up too late on the weekends
- Don’t go to bed if you don’t feel sleepy
- Use wakeup call services at hotels
