1. Shift your bedtime a few hours earlier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting up early might seem like such a chore, but sleeping early is much easier. Shift your bedtime a few hours earlier and see the magic for yourself. This will train your body to wake up early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you go to bed late each day, forcing yourself to wake up early might be a health risk as most adults need 7\u20138 hours of sleep each night. But going to bed early will make sure you don\u2019t sleep less, while at the same time enable you to wake up early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Don\u2019t use any devices before bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keep your phone, computer, or iPad in another room before coming to bed. This way, you won\u2019t be distracted and keep checking notifications each time you get reminded of something. Also, science has proved time and again that the light from screens damages the quality of your sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get rid of this problem with a simple step: unplug all your devices before going to bed and keep them in a separate room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Eat nothing at least 2 hours before going to bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Late-night snacking could be your biggest enemy. It\u2019s easy to confuse exhaustion with hunger, so even if you crave that delicious snack before going to bed, be strong-willed and say no to the craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several studies have proven that late-night snacks can cause acid reflux and interfere with the quality of your sleep. They can also make you feel worse about yourself, leading to overthinking which might not let you sleep on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sleep with your curtains open<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While this might seem like an extreme measure, this is a great way to wake up early in the morning without having to set an alarm clock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural light coming in through the windows would wake you up better than any alarm tone, and also leave you feeling energized and excited throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Place your alarm clock across the room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Again, this might seem like an extreme step, but keeping your alarm across the room will push you get out of bed if you want to get rid of that annoying alarm tone the first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you get out of bed, you get a chance to stretch your limbs, while will help you rub some of that sleep off your eyes. This can also be an exceptionally valuable routine if you keep multiple alarms, and have to jump out of bed every five minutes to turn each of them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Set a night routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A night routine might sound like a chore, but do it right, and it can be the biggest act of self-care you indulge in throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A night routine can be something as simple as reading a book for thirty minutes each night. Or you can even incorporate elaborate tasks like lighting a candle, washing your face and wearing a face mask, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It depends upon you what routine you pick. Either way, you\u2019ll have something to look forward to each night, and the routine will train your body to feel tired and immediately fall asleep once it\u2019s complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Track your waking up early habits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using a habit tracker<\/a> to mark the days you woke up early can be an excellent way to make sure you don\u2019t fall off the wagon. Seeing a streak of several days would be an excellent motivation to keep pushing yourself. It can also serve as a reminder of what you are capable of and how much remains to be done before you can reach where you\u2019re supposed to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
