If you're a morning person, then you know how quiet the world is when you get up before the sun. When your alarm goes off and it's still pitch black outside but you wake up feeling like you can conquer anything, then you know you're a morning person. When you get up early, it gives you a chance to accomplish all of the tasks you have for the day. Not to mention how amazing it feels when you can check off your entire to-do list.
Waking up early gives you a new chance at a new day. It's a blank slate. That day can be anything you want it to be. You get a chance to watch the sunrise and see nature work its magic. You also get the chance to finally have time for some breakfast and quiet time to ease yourself into the day you're about to have.
Although, if you're a morning person, then you know how much non-morning people don't like us. But that's okay. We wake up feeling energized and organized. We have time to accomplish things before we have to be at class or our job. We get a chance to feel at ease because we don't have to worry about our commute or a paper that needs to be printed out. It's a time where we can plan out our day and know that we actually have the time for anything.
Waking up early has many benefits, and here are some ways that you can transition into becoming a morning person:
1. Go to bed early
Like Benjamin Franklin said, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."
2. Don't use your phone before bed or within the first ten minutes of waking up
If you don't use your phone before bed, then it will be easier to fall asleep. Also, if you don't use your phone when you first get up, then you're more likely to get a start to your day without staying on the phone for a prolonged period of time.
3. Drink a glass of water when you first get up
Doing this will help to get your metabolism going and it will also rehydrate your body which hasn't seen any water while you were asleep.
4. Stretch as soon as you wake up
While you were sleeping your muscles were not getting any exercise, and to help wake them up, you need to stretch.
5. Try putting your alarm across the room
If you have trouble getting up because you always hit snooze, try moving your alarm. This will allow you to have to get up and move once it goes off.
