Do you go to bed early, sleep late and still find it hard to wake up? This article contains the solution for you.
Steps
Step 1. Write down the positive things that will happen tomorrow
Stick your written note on your alarm clock or bedside table next to your bed to remind yourself of something positive and exciting that will happen after you wake up. This could be something as great as going to a concert, performing in public or something simpler like enjoying your dog's party as soon as you open your eyes.
Step 2. Cool your bedroom
Too hot an environment will cause a sleepy awakening. Set the thermostat between 16 and 21 ° C.
Step 3. Fill your bedroom with color
The color will stimulate the release of adrenaline allowing you to engage at your best. Choose colorful items, like pillows or a blanket, and make them the first things you see when you wake up.
Step 4. Put some flowers on the nightstand
A study has shown that women who immediately see flowers when they wake up improve their mood in a lasting way.
Step 5. Don't press that button
If you decide to delay your alarm, your brain will know it can switch itself off again. Napping while waiting for the next wake-up call, you won't be able to guarantee any kind of real rest. Make the alarm sound coincide with the moment you need to get up. If you can't avoid pressing the button to delay the alarm, try putting it across the room by forcing yourself to get up to turn it off. Those few steps will help you wake up.
Step 6. Visualize your day
By imagining yourself alert and full of energy, you will set those parts of the brain that are actually in use in motion in a state of complete attention.
Step 7. Drink a large glass of water
Even a 2% drop in your water supplies can make you feel more tired.
Step 8. Let the sunlight in
Sunlight allows you to feel more alert and informs your body that it needs to stop producing melatonin, which makes you sleepy.
Step 9. Massage yourself
More active blood circulation will instantly make you feel more awake. Tap your fingertips on your face.
