"Early to bed early to rise, makes person healthy, wealthy and wise"
-Benjamin Franklin


We always here that waking up early makes you happier, healthier and wealthier. We try to wake up early but after two day, we’re back to our old habit. If you really want to wake up early, here are some tips that will help you waking up early with more energy and you’ll feel more alive.

  1.    Go to Bed Early

This one is obvious. You have to go to bed early to wake up early. You want to wake up fresh, active and energetic. And for that you have to get enough sleep. Human body needs 6-8 hours of sleep. If you sleep less than 6 hours, you will feel uneasy and not feel active and energetic. If you sleep more than 8 hours, you’ll feel lazy and lethargic. So I recommend having 7 hours of undisturbed and deep sleep. If you want to wake up at 5:30 AM, you should be in bed before 10:20 PM or 22:20. Human body takes average 15 minutes to sleep, so be 10 minutes early to sleep.

  2.    No Screen Before Bed Time

This is the biggest mistake people make. They use their devices like laptop, smartphones and watch TV right before sleeping. The blue rays coming out of those screen affects your sleep. Those rays make brain believe that it is still day and there is no need to sleep. Do not use laptops and smartphones at least 30 minutes before sleep. And if necessary use Night Mode or Blue Light Filter to minimize these harmful rays. Most devices now a days have this feature inbuilt, but if your phone do not have this feature, there are thousands good apps available on App Store and Play Store.

  3.    Use Alarm clock instead of Phone or Use Apps

Use real alarm clocks instead of your phone alarm. Phone alarms are easy to dismiss or snooze. But alarm clock is complex to dismiss and it sounds really loud. This will surely wake you up. If you still want to stick with your phone, that’s ok. Use third party apps. There are many apps available online that will help you. They give you task to complete in order to turn off the alarm. For example, they give you math problems to solve, shake your phone for 30 seconds or solve a quick puzzle. Those apps are so smart that they won’t allow turning down the volume. I’m sure this will kill your ‘More Sleep Monster’. And do not keep your alarm right beside the bed, no matter you use alarm clock or phone. When you keep it out of your reach, you will get out of your bed and walk to that. This will resist your urge to go to bed. And it will also stop you using your phone in bed. We’ve listed some good alarm clocks that will help you.


  4.    No Caffeine

Do not consume caffeine after 6 PM. Caffeine affects your sleep very badly. Do not take caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, green tea, energy drinks, sports drink or carbonated drinks after 6 PM.

  5.    Drink Water Immediately after Waking Up

Water wakes up your body immediately, especially chilled water. Have a glass of chilled water beside your alarm. After turning off your alarm, drink the water and you’ll instantly feel awaken and energetic.

  6.    Sleep in Right Temperature

Sleep in right temperature. Experiment with different temperatures and know what feels perfect for you. Many find little colder more comfortable and some find bit warmer. Find your comfortable temperature.

  7.    Have Firm Goal or Inspiration

This is very important. Why you want to wake up early? Have a goal that inspires you. If you have no goal or no planning what you will do after waking up, you are more likely to sleep again after waking up. Have some tasks. Prepare To-Do List before going to bed so that you know what you need to do after waking up. Click here if you don’t know how to prepare a To-Do List.
