I started to get up early in the morning months ago; I realized that it was better to start the day with a great breakfast in bed
The night before I make sure that my space is tidy so when I wake up there is no tidying up or cleaning to do and therefore making sure I’m not dreading getting out of bed. I also will plan out a nice breakfast for the morning so it gives me something to look forward to when I get out of bed. I love waking up early because by noon I have accomplished so much and I feel so happy and proud of myself. This just motivates me even more to get out of bed and get things done. I live with a person that doesn’t get up until noon and they aren’t happy so that’s also a reminder of how I don’t want to live my life. It’s hard to begin with but once you have reset your body clock and you are getting the right amount of sleep for you then it just becomes natural.
Go to bed at least 8 hours before you’re alarm. Try to remind yourself in a dream, that you aren’t dreaming and it is time to wake up. Don’t sleep with so many blankets, make sure you out are cold when you wake up so that’s you don’t get tempted to fall back asleep.
Going to bed at the same time everyday and getting up at the same time every day for several days till your body gets used to the routine. Thats what’s working for me now. After doing this for a couple of months I was able to get rid of the alarm clock
My tip: try to reset your sleep schedule, and keep consistent. Don’t eat for 14-16 hours before your intended wake up time. Set your alarm, but you’ll probably be hungry and need to get up for food. Do this for a few days, and your body will be ready to wake up at that time. Also, try to get up at the same time every day, even on weekends or days off. This consistency will help your body wake up naturally.
By turning it into a habit. Having a sleeping schedule that you stictly advere tot, Will make you automatically wake up at more of less thé samen time everyday.
When a person has established a pattern, a sleep schedule. Going to bed each night and wake at the same time each day. Your body established a circadian rythem. A circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours.
Sleep earlier the previous night, or let the sunlight comes into your bedroom in the morning. You will get used to your sleeping schedule eventually.
I haven’t quite gotten there yet. I still use an alarm and I usually hit the snooze button or just immediately go back to sleep. I think I need to get to bed earlier. It’s been a lifelong struggle. One day at a time...
I think about the reasons why I want to wake up that morning early in the morning , and I know that if I want to accomplish that goal I need to wake up early.
