5 Techniques To Get Up in The Morning
I am a night person. I like to stay up late and get up late, but they say that the early bird gets the worm. When I need to get up early, I use aids to help me. Here are five things that can help you rise:
1. Get a light alarm - This is an alarm that wakes you up with a light that gradually increases in brightness. It is supposed to stimulate the sun and help you wake naturally.
2. Bribe someone to call and wake you up - I have a deal with a friend that I’ll do some work for him if he will call me and wake me in the morning. Actually talking to someone helps wake you up more than a blaring alarm.
3. Put alarm (or phone) away from your bed - This means you must get up to turn off the alarm. But be sure it is loud enough.
4. Check your e-mail/read blogs - I can check my e-mails and read blogs on my phone. As I try to wake up, I make myself check my mail and read new blog entries. This gets my brain going and before I know it, I am fully awake.
5. Drink lots of water - When you wake up, your bladder will get you out of bed. With some experimentation, you’ll find a quantity that will let you last all night, but still make getting up easier.
