How many times did you hit the snooze button this morning? When you finally got our of bed were you feeling groggy and in need of a serious caffeine fix? Is that really how you want to start your day? The snooze button is not your friend.
“The temptation to hit the snooze button for an extra 5 minutes sleep can be overwhelming. By changing your habits and getting up and out of bed straight away you will wake up feeling fresher and ready to start the day.” said Managing Director Glen Lowes.
Complete One share 4 tips to get you going bright and early; .
1/ Keep your alarm across the room
If your phone or alarm clock is next to your pillow then you're more likely to hit snooze. By having it out of reach, forcing yourself to get out of bed to put the alarm off the chance of getting up first time is much higher.
2/ Let there be light
To get a good nights sleep make sure you have no distractions, no TV or iPad, the room should be in absolute darkness. When you wake up you want the opposite, open your curtains and let the light shine through.
3/ Start with a shower
It might sound obvious but there are chemical reasons too. When you shower your brain releases the neurochemical dopamine, allowing you to start the day in a happier more relaxed state.
4/ Find your passion
Getting out of bed in the morning, especially in winter, is made 10 times easier if you have a passion. If it's not your career then find projects and goals so you wake up with exuberance.
