How you can become a person in the morning (even if you hate getting up early)
For
many people, including myself, getting up early is much more difficult than
getting up late. I know how good it feels to do things before the work day
begins, but that does not seem to be enough to motivate me when my alarm goes
off and I'm exhausted. Nor is it enough when it is midnight and I still feel
like I can eliminate another task before I fall asleep.
"There
are many benefits of being awake early in the day," says Chris Brantner, Certified Sleep Sciences
Coach at SleepZoo.com. It helps your body synchronize with your natural sleep
patterns, which provides many benefits. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours a day can
decrease the chances of heart disease, Alzheimer's, anxiety and more. Not only
that, it can help you do more during the day, as you are ready and ready to go
with plenty of time. That gives you time to plan your day, eat well, exercise
and do whatever else you need to prepare to embrace the day. In addition,
recent research shows that nocturnal birds have an increased risk of mortality
from all causes. "
So, how
do you train yourself to become a person in the morning? Here are some tips
that night owls might find useful, experts say.
1 go to bed early
This
may seem obvious, but its importance can not be emphasized enough. If you get
up late, it is unlikely that you will get up early feeling almost awake.
Brantner recommends setting your bedtime eight or at least 7.5 hours before
waking up. "This not only helps you get the right amount of sleep, it also
helps you wake up at the right time during your sleep cycle," he says.
"If you time things incorrectly and wake up at the wrong point in your
sleep cycle, you may experience sleep inertia, which can make you feel dizzy
for up to two hours."
You can
use an application such as Sleep Cycle to find out if you are waking up at the
correct point in a sleep cycle.

Exposing yourself to light in the morning
Open
your windows or leave as soon as possible when you get up, because this tells
your body it's time to wake up. "This helps restore your circadian rhythm
and makes you feel awake before," says Brantner.
3 motivate yourself
Becoming
a person in the morning will be easier if it is a means to an end, rather than
an end in itself. "It's better that a change in habits, patterns and behavior
be anchored and based on a deeper journey of personal development and
transformation," says Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert for
Holistic Holistics, at . To that end, remember what you can earn by becoming a
morning person, whether it's a better general health or an early start at work.
4 Plan something early
If you
have trouble motivating yourself to get up, do it by making initial plans.
"If you do not have a good reason to get out of bed, there is a chance
that you just will not do it, obligations and responsibilities are
condemned," says Backe. "But if you make a plan (the day before) for
the day you want to have, and if you take all the things into consideration,
there is a better chance that you want to start the day well and with a good
mentality."
5. You
are willing to go through "Retirement"
Teaching
oneself to get up early is not easy. If you stop smoking once it gets hard, it
will not last long enough to make it a habit. "If you want to change
yourself, for whatever reason, this will invariably require you to put aside
other parts of yourself," says Backe. "Expect withdrawal symptoms at
some level, because it's hard to change, the best thing you can do is learn to
love the symptoms and accept them, because it means you are doing something that
is actually difficult."
