How to Become a Morning Person

Becoming a marginal person is something to talk about these days…
For some, it’s a routine, for others it’s a challenge, for others it’s disgusting, because their body takes over, it’s not easy when you’re not used to it, it’s another thing again if you take on the challenge of getting up early.
Sometimes it lasts a week, a month, even a few days, and then you decide to call it a day because in the back of your mind you often tell yourself that it’s not for you.

So why is it so difficult for some people and so easy for others?
It’s important to remember that when you start to develop certain habits with your body, your brain eventually identifies them, and they become part of your daily routine. Studies have shown that it takes the body 30 days to remember certain habits that have been entrusted to it over the previous 30 days.

Becoming a morning person can be a game-changer! Here are some tips to help you out:

1. Gradual Adjustments: Start waking up just 15 minutes earlier each day until you reach your desired time. It makes it easier on your body!

2. Consistent Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your internal clock.

3. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Wind down before bed with activities like reading or listening to calming music. Avoid screens for at least 30 minutes before sleeping.

4. Limit Caffeine and Heavy Meals: Especially in the evening, as they can disrupt your sleep.

5. Morning Light: Open your curtains or step outside as soon as you wake up. Natural light helps signal to your body that it’s time to be awake.

6. Plan Fun Morning Activities: Having something to look forward to can make getting up easier. Maybe a tasty breakfast or a quick workout.

7. Set an Alarm Across the Room:

Placing your alarm clock or phone across the room forces you to get out of bed to turn it off, helping you wake up.

8. Stay Hydrated: Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up. It helps kickstart your metabolism and rehydrates your body after a night’s sleep.

9. Exercise in the Morning: Even a short workout can boost your energy levels and mood, making it easier to stay awake.

10. Prepare the Night Before: Lay out your clothes, pack your bag, and plan your breakfast the night before. This reduces morning stress and gives you more time to wake up slowly.

11. Avoid Snoozing: Hitting the snooze button can make you feel groggier. Try to get up as soon as your alarm goes off.

12. Use Technology Wisely: Consider using apps or smart alarms that wake you up during the lightest phase of your sleep cycle.

13. Positive Mindset: Start your day with positive affirmations or a gratitude journal. This can set a positive tone for the day.

14. Limit Evening Stimulants: Reduce exposure to bright lights, loud noises, and stimulating activities in the evening to help your body wind down.

15. Consistency is Key: It might take a few weeks for your body to adjust, so be patient and stick with your new routine. Implementing these tips can make a big difference. Give them a try and see what works best for you.

Good luck!
