Try a sunrise alarm clock. I got one for $20 on Amazon. Sleep Cycle is also a good app to wake you gently. I struggle with waking up too so I have both of those in addition to different alarms every 5 minutes on my phone for an hour.
Find something you really enjoy doing and then plan to do it every morning first thing when you wake up. It makes it so much easier. For me, I love to wake up, grab a glass of water and meditate for 20 minutes. Getting up at 545 is so much easier!
I try my best to go to bed as early as possible, so that I can still get enough hours of sleep. I also make sure that I have all I need for my morning routine ready, so that I do not have excuses to stop myself from waking up
Go to bed early the night before so you will be refreshed to wake up early. Open the curtains on the morning and feel the beautiful sunlight!
My tip is to jump out of bed when your alarm goes off. Go to the bathroom, throw some cold water in your face and drink some too. Then grab your shoes and jacket and go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be long, just go out and take a little walk in the neighborhood or forest and you will be fully awake and ready for the day, trust me, it works and it’s definetely worth it. I do it everyday.
Just sleep early and it will be easier for you to wake up early. Also, take some time to relax yourself before you go to bed.
I try to keep my goal in mind. In the moment, I want to work on my language skill and waking up early gives me time to do it more effectively. So when I wake up I know that I’ll be missing out if I just snooze my alarm.
I go to bed early. As long as I get my 8 hours in, it doesn’t matter what time I get up. If I need to get up at 5am I’m in bed by 9pm.
Train yourself to go to bed early so you get 8 hrs of sleep. Then, don’t contemplate anything...just get up and follow through.
It is easier for me to get up early if I set my coffee machine to brew automatically in the morning and leave all my food prepped and ready to grab and go. Also I leave my work clothes out to not waste time in the morning. Lastly, I make sure to go to bed early enough to sleep 8 hours.
