Way To Wakeup
The best method for changing the time you wake up is to do it.
1. Do not make drastic changes
start by waking 15 30 minutes earlier than usual, then gradually cut back more minutes, until you get to your goal time.
2. Sleep earlier
To get enough sleep. Makes sense.
3. Put your alarm clock far from your bed
This way you will have to get up out of bed to shut it off. Now, you are up and all what you need to do is to stay up.
4. Force yourself to go out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm
Do not go back to bed for any reason and reject any self talk that tries to convince you to do so. Do not rationalize. You know that voice that always tells you to stay in bed for another 10 mins.
5. Find something pleasurable to do when you wake up
like reading, writing, listening to music, exercising, watching a movie, watching the sunrise or meditating, or even playing video games.
6. Take advantage of the extra time
Between 4 am and 7 am you can accomplish much more than many people do the entire day. It is a super productive period. Try to finish the important tasks first or maintain useful habits like exercising.
7. Enjoy the break of dawn
It is the most quiet and peaceful moment of the day.
8. Go To Bed And Get Up At The Same Time Every Day
your body will handle it more easily if you keep the same circadian rhythm.
9. Give A Promise To Wake Up Early
Works best with your family members, friends, etc. Show everyone you can stand behind your words!
10. It Takes 3 Weeks To Make A Habit
3 weeks are enough for building an early wake up habit. Do not worry, you will not feel uncomfortable waking up early till the end of your life! Just commit that you are going to do it no matter what in the next 3 weeks.
