I hate the damn sound of the dreaded alarm and just hate waking up early in the mornings. Whether its for getting ready for work, getting to start the kitchen, hitting the gym, studying for exams etc. it’s forever a reason of consternation. I am yet to hear of a person who loves to wake up to the early morning alarm. My sons vacation ends which means that I will have to start getting up early again. So here are some pointers that I collected that would help me wake up early. I thought I will write this and share it with all of you who hate waking early and also people who don't have a natural alarm system built within!- Get early to bed – This will help you shift your sleeping cycle forward.
- Transition – If you wake up at 9 a.m. you can’t all of a sudden start waking up at 5 a.m. Push back the time by small amounts and then slowly bring it down to the needed time.
- Reward yourself – Reward yourself with something nice every time you succeed waking according to the plan.
- Write and put up your goal - Visually seeing your goal for waking up early can work positively!
- Make yourself accountable – Tell everyone at home about your plans. That will help create accountability to wake up early.
- Set the alarm clock a little away from the bed – Waking up and stopping it will help you get out of bed and shake off the sleep.
- Set alarm clock five minutes early – Snooze the alarm and once it rings after a while wake up. Till then prepare mentally to be up.
- Co planning - Plan a waking time along with some other member. Co motivating each other can also aid.
- Set a nice sounding alarm not a harsh one!
Make waking up early a regular habit and slowly it will not be a reason for trepidation!! All the best to me :)
