If you’re not a morning person, getting up early can be quite the challenge, especially if you’re stuck between some ridiculously soft sheets like SHEEX® Performance Bedding.
Luckily, the SHEEX® team is here to help with five tips for waking up early and getting a move on in the morning.
-
Set Your Circadian Rhythm
It’s not realistic to expect to get up with ease at 7 a.m. if you’re waking up three hours later every other day. One of the most effective ways to reduce the challenge of waking up early is to adjust your circadian rhythm, or your body’s internal clock. By consistently falling asleep and waking up at similar times, you’ll have a significantly easier time getting out of bed in the morning, and you may even begin to get up naturally before the loud blaring of your alarm clock rings throughout the room. However, there are always instances where you’ll need to get up earlier than usual, though planning for this the evening before can help. By going to sleep earlier to offset the early morning, you should be able to survive without ingesting massive amounts of coffee or caffeine.

Make It Harder To “Snooze”
One of the best tips for waking up early is to set your phone or alarm clock out of reach, forcing you to pry yourself out of bed in the morning when it goes off. If you can reach the snooze button without even lifting your head from the pillow, there’s a good chance you’ll be sleeping in for a little while longer. Though setting your alarm out of reach can be frustrating at first, it is a great exercise for conditioning yourself to get up right away in the mornings.

Let Sunlight Into Your Bedroom
By allowing sunlight to peer into your bedroom in the morning, waking up will be a much more gradual process as your body recognizes the light even during sleep. If it doesn’t compromise your privacy, leave a window open and let your body naturally accept that it’s time to wake up and start the day.

Maintain Your Sleep Schedule On Weekends
As lovely as it sounds to sleep in until noon on Saturday and Sunday, over-sleeping on the weekends can cause sleepiness the following weekdays and interrupt your circadian rhythm. Though you can still sleep in on the weekends, don’t overdo it or drastically alter your sleep schedule or you’re in for a rude awakening (literally) on Monday and Tuesday of the next week.
Though it won’t happen overnight, by using the tips for waking up early above, you should be able to find it easier to pry yourself out of bed in the mornings. If you find yourself tossing and turning throughout the night or having a hard time falling asleep, a set of new ultra-comfortable sheets from SHEEX® can make all the difference. Even if you’re the ultimate grouch when you wake up, with SHEEX® Performance Bedding, you may become a morning person before you know it!
