Five Proven Methods To Get Up Early

Five Proven Methods To Get Up Early

Today, though, things are different. It’s a totally different planet from the one we know. There is little physical labor for us to perform throughout the day, and our alarm clocks aren’t roosters. We also watch television on our phones before we go to sleep. Despite the fact that professionals and non-experts alike advise us not to. What motivates us to do this? We’re doing it because we can. And we don’t believe in the concept of consequences. These five suggestions can help you wake up early in the morning without feeling exhausted the rest of the day.

Why is it so hard to get up?

My grandparents got up at 5 a.m. without issue. They didn’t whine, they didn’t tell everyone, they didn’t blog about it (they’d be proud of me), and they didn’t even drink coffee. What did they do? Breakfast, chicken feed, goat feed, chicken feed… Then they had to do other things in the garden that I can’t even describe because I’ve grown into a whiny city child.

Today is a new day. It’s a different world. We don’t do much physical work during the day, and we watch TV on our phones before bed. despite expert and non-expert advice. Why do we? We can. We reject the consequences.

Getting up early and making time

Many people believe that waking up at 5 a.m. will give them more time. False. You will have the same hours as us. You’ll have more time for yourself when you’re rested. not when the day is done. You could do everything you want to do in the evening, but it’s easier to say no and just sit and watch TV.

When you start the day with some self-care, you feel better all day. You finish tasks you’ve been putting off for a while.

Early risers gain

  • You’ll find time to care for your body and mind.
  • The morning is ideal for forming new healthy habits.
  • Doing things first thing in the morning helps you keep your promises.
  • So less stress.
  • Better sleep
  • There is enough time to work out, be alone, and enjoy life in peace.

I find that waking up earlier makes me feel more accomplished and at ease. Even though I was tired, I decided to go out and enjoy my morning. Then, in minutes, the unthinkable happens. I actually wake up, feel refreshed and alert, and go about my day. Here are 5 Methods To Get Up Early without feeling tired all day.

1. Plan your wake-up time

Ensure the desired wake-up time is feasible. Nowadays, everyone brags about waking up at 5 a.m. That’s too early for my schedule these days. Especially in winter. It’s cold, dark, and I have nothing to do at 5 a.m. My name isn’t a baker.

Summer is a unique case. The sun rises earlier, so I should get up at 5 a.m. to see it. But I usually get up at 6 a.m. That gives me enough time to do what I really want to do for myself in the first hour of the day, so I can focus on other things.

I can sleep at 10:30 p.m. In the morning, I still have time to work out, walk, dress, and apply makeup even if I don’t need it. (-today is a good day)

The value of a morning plan

I’ll admit it: I used to believe “successful people wake up at 5 am, so I must do it too.” Then I decided to start reading, writing, gratitude journaling, goal journaling, etc.

I knew I needed to do these things, but not first thing in the morning. They weren’t exciting or creative, and I wasn’t doing anything I wouldn’t do later. That morning’s routine was tedious and unnecessary at 5 p.m.

Then came 9 a.m., when I wanted to work. I was exhausted and needed sleep, but chose coffee. It was a latte, a milky coffee. No coffee. I was working from home at the time, so I went to bed at 9 a.m.

I’m not saying don’t get up at 5 a.m. or don’t journal. So, be very honest with yourself. What do you want to do first? Why do you want to get up? Decide what time it is and what your priorities are to stay awake and productive.

Keep your morning routine brief and explain your early riser status. Is it to gain knowledge? How to get fitter? How to start a side business? Be deliberate in your actions and have a plan for the first hour. You won’t want to get up early the next day.

2. Start early and keep your promise.

Look at the time and set your alarm for 6–7.5 hours later. Wake up when the time comes, no matter how tired you are. Don’t snooze, go. Otherwise, you’ll be exhausted.

Like this. A sleep cycle is 90 minutes. The average person requires 7.5 hours of sleep per day. Each sleep cycle must be completed to feel rested.

Finished is the key word. If you wake up during a sleep cycle, you must restart it and finish it for 90 minutes to feel refreshed. It’s like a video game: if you mess up, you have to restart.

So snooze starts a new sleep cycle without finishing it. You waste time and get tired.

We can get away with 6 hours, at the very least. True, 7.5 hours of sleep is ideal for most people, but if you want to change and wake up earlier, 6 hours of sleep is a good compromise.

3. Do it for a week.

I went to bed at midnight the first night and wanted to wake up at 6 am. That’s 4 sleep cycles, so it’s fine.

I did this for a week and didn’t set an alarm on the weekend because I wanted to sleep in. Saturday morning at 6:02 a.m. rested. Sunday, same.

Give your body a week to adjust and set its own alarm. The key is to getting up at the same time every day. not at 6 am, 5 am, and then 7 am. Keep to a schedule.

I was also getting tired at night and going to bed earlier. That was one of my biggest struggles.

4. Do what wakes you up.

Things that keep me awake and make my day better are:

  • waking up with water
  • After a 10-minute workout,
  • showering
  • a walk in the park (about 20 minutes).

I went for a walk to relax and think about what I wanted to do today. I do it alone in a park or on the beach, close to nature. It gives me so many new and creative ideas. It’s probably my favorite time. It’s when I can truly listen to myself and come up with new ideas.

Commencement of the day with writing or reading makes me very sleepy. This requires mental focus that I lack right now. Reading puts me to sleep, so I do it at night.

In the morning, I feel like I need to wake up my body first before waking up my brain. This way, I’m just ready for the day. I already feel accomplished and motivated to keep going and doing things that matter to me.

So, what say you? What would jolt you awake? Maybe it’s washing your face, drinking lemon water, jumping jacks (best morning exercise ever!) or listening to music you love. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.

Just get moving and you’ll feel more awake. Exercise is the thing that wakes me up the most.

5. Do something you enjoy

Something to look forward to in the morning such as a minor reward This summer it was going to the beach to watch the sunrise and swim after my workout. The beach was deserted, the sun was out, and the water was clear.

It could be finishing a small project that excites you, going to an early gym class, seeing normally crowded city streets empty, or feeding the ducks in the park. You just need to decide what excites you and what you want to do more of.
