I find thinking about why you have to get up to be important. If it feels unimportant to you and your goals, then getting up in the morning becomes pointless. After reminding yourself everyday it will become a habit. I hope this helps. Good luck with your journey.
Instead of hitting the snooze button, I try to put the alarm on the other side of the room on the furthest point so then I have to get out of bed and physically go and walk over there to turn it off and then by the time you’re back in bed you’re awake
try putting your phone or alarm out of arms reach, where you have to get up to turn it off. id say also set your alarms earlier is you tend to snooze it a few times, so then by the time you get up, itll be on time+ if that makes sense! :]
Well, I really do enjoy my classes so when I wake up I remind myself that I have classes and get really excited. I shower, get dressed, eat breakfast and then brush my teeth and by then I’m still really pumped to go to my class 🙂
First, I never plan to go out before 10am, so I can know that I don’t have time pressure in the morning. Second, when I really have something important early in the morning it is easy to get up because of the previous regular routine of enough sleeping time, so there is not accumulated exhaustion that can make me hard in the morning. Third I know that my morning starts at the previous evening, so I go earlier to sleep. And fourth thing is that in the morning I’m thinking how disciplined person I am and I feel proud of myself for getting up on the first alarm.
I work from home, so travel time is not an issue. I give myself little more than the amount of time needed to get ready, make coffee, and grab my already-prepped breakfast and take it to my desk. This gives me about five minutes to spare – no time to hit snooze. I also switched my hours so that I work the earliest shift available (6am – 3pm my time). Switching up my routine made it easier to set a new habit of not snoozing.
Coffee! I have also altered bedtime earlier to get going earlier…..Between those 2 things usually good and if still feeling bad I increase exercise to help me sleep deeper
I have never really struggled with using a snooze button as my alarm clock growing up didn’t have one. I was taught to have a moment of private devotion, to stretch and get up.
I prepare the night before by 1 hour before bed I air my bedroom , change the ambience, lower the lights, unplug and disconnect . I have a alarm clock. in a separate room in case for no distractions I have my cell charging. I get up before the alarm ready and feeling great for my day ahead
I think about how it would make difference if I didn’t press snooze and compare how I feel and how ready I am when I have enough time before leaving my house
