Do you find yourself constantly hitting the snooze button before you finally make your way out of bed to take a shower and eat breakfast in the morning? Chances are you’re not a morning person. Unfortunately, many of us have responsibilities and jobs that we have to get to in the morning, which makes it impossible to sleep-in during the weekdays. The good news is, there are ways that you can make yourself more of a morning person.
Mornings
You may like to sleep in on the weekends, but this actually makes it harder to wake up at a set time during the week. Make sure to set your alarm for the same time each day. During the winter, when the days are shorter, try using a wake-up light alarm clock, which brightens your room the way natural sunrise does.
Daytime
Believe it or not, your midday habits can improve your sleep by helping you feel better rested. Exercising regularly, not drinking caffeine after noon, and avoiding bright lights in the evening, can help you get a better night’s sleep.
Evenings
It’s hard to get things done in the morning, so why not make it easier for yourself by doing as much as you can the night before? Start by laying out your clothes, packing your lunch, and showering before you head to bed.
