Your career won't wait for you until noon, when you finally get enough sleep. For you, a selection of the top 10 tips for the easiest awakening.
If you are already fabulously rich and at the same time have not lost precious health, then you can safely and without looking back to close this article. Well, if you are only on the way to your cherished dream, then, according to all the laws of the genre, the problem of getting up in the morning should not exist for you a priori, because your early joy of owning a dream is for you the strongest argument for a vigorous awakening and active entry into a new day with its new features!
If you have something to get up for, be it strategically important or meeting your best friend, then awakening will be easy!
And it would be nice if, like in a fairy tale - to open your eyes, stretch out sweetly, smile at the world and get out of bed to take new steps towards new victories!
You are just lucky if your morning develops according to this scenario. In most cases, the morning wake up genre is more like a drama. And the first thing that would be logical to advise here is to find a solution to the issue in your own nature, that is, to listen to your biorhythms.
We all know that there are people-"owls" and people-"larks". And these two types of people have completely different periods of productivity. So among those who consider themselves to be larks, the absolute majority confirm that the peak of their activity falls on the time from eight o'clock in the morning to noon.
According to various studies of psychologists conducted among university students, "early birds" are more successful. On the eve of devoting time to preparing for tests and exams and falling asleep on time and, therefore, waking up on time, they have significantly higher marks than those who preferred to study in the evening or even at night.
In addition to the factor of reasonable distribution of time, the laws of memory functioning are also triggered here: memory improves during healthy sleep, that is, the brain, not overloaded with stress from memorization, during sleep naturally absorbs the information received and puts it on the shelves.
There is another study by British psychologists in favor of early awakenings. They found a relationship between a person's habitual awakening time and their emotional state. It turned out that among adults who stay in bed until 9-10 am, problems such as overweight and tendency to depression are more common than those who are used to getting up at 7 am.
At the same time, there is research confirming that regardless of the type of person (owl or lark), those who wake up earlier are more likely to feel more active and optimistic throughout the day than those who wake up later.
Total: there are a lot of arguments in favor of morning wakefulness. But a natural question is brewing: what can be done if in your case the best thing in the morning is only sugar waking up past the cup? And you have to get up, whether you want or not, in the morning you have to, because our profession does not always allow you to choose the optimal working time corresponding to biorhythms. But there is good news too …
Night owls still find it easier to switch to morning mode than morning people to evening mode, respectively. Owls, if necessary, work in the morning and afternoon hours show greater productivity than larks in the evening and night.
In this regard, the first thing that makes sense to do in the context of our conversation is to "reset the biological clock." Office and career won't wait for you until midnight, when the entire business world is already asleep.
And get into your own sleep and wake routine with your dream and a selection of top 10 tips:
Get enough sleep. It sounds trite and trite, but there is no better remedy in any case. 7-9 hours of sleep. And the older a person gets, the more weight this advice gains: a fresh look and a rested brain, ready to adequately respond to the world, will serve you well.
Free your bed, or even better, your entire bedroom, from gadgets that have flooded your life. The bedroom is for sleeping.
Train yourself to get up at the same time. If you work in an office or in production, then the issue is resolved by itself. Every weekday morning you need to show up for work at a strictly appointed hour. Fortunately, we are clearly motivated for this action - the arguments are "iron": the money whip, and even the threat of dismissal, are doing their job.
Everything is somewhat different if you are a representative of a new class of professions that allow you to work in freelance mode, and your office is dissolved somewhere in your own apartment, but this is already a topic for a separate conversation. We will return to it in one of the following articles.
Give yourself a morning ceremony, tentatively titled "Nowhere to Rush." After the alarm rings, do not get up right away. The calmer the awakening process, the less stress for the body. There are enough stress in life. Stretch. Smile at the new day and its opportunities. Turn onto your left side and rise after 1-2 minutes.
“A sunny morning is a time of quiet joy … These hours are not for haste, not for fuss. Morning is a time of unhurried, deep, golden thoughts - John Steinbeck
For the easiest awakening, use the techniques of awakening self-massage. To wake up all systems of the body, you can actively rub the auricles, you can wear imaginary very, very narrow gloves on your hands, or you can intensively roll an ordinary simple pencil with a ribbed shape between your palms. In all the cases described above, you will get an excellent opportunity to massage biologically active points located on the palms and fingers, as well as on the ears.
If you decide to change the wake-up time, well, for example, you categorically decided to go jogging every day at 6 in the morning, then a big request - again, without sudden movements, please. Every day, shift the awakening time back 15 minutes and so on until you reach your goal.
Set yourself up for one wake-up call. When you need to get up at 8 in the morning, and you set the alarm at 7.00 with repeated signals every 5-10 minutes, so that you will probably wake up by 8.00, then you only make yourself worse. You interfere with the natural course of the sleep process, confuse your nervous system, and ultimately end up feeling overwhelmed and nervous, as if you weren't resting at all.
Choose your alarm ringtone carefully. Let it be calm music or just sounds pleasant to the ear, evoking pleasant memories or emotions, or something positive that will make you smile.
In the summertime, daylight outside the window will help you wake up. Leave your bedroom windows open in the evening and your body will naturally respond to the change in the time of day outside the window.
Have breakfast. First, the very process of cooking and eating will help you wake up. Second, a healthy breakfast is guaranteed to keep you energized at least until lunchtime, especially if you include fresh juices or nutty smoothies in your diet.
Exercise in the morning. It has been proven that 10-15 minutes of exercise every morning can replace full-length workouts 1-2 times a week.
Let every morning shine with freshness and be filled with cheerfulness!
