- Formulate the goal of early recovery. You probably do not want to wake up early, unless you know exactly what it's for. Think about what you will do in these extra 2-3 hours of time: work, sports, intellectual development, household duties, etc. Try to include at that time those cases, which you constantly forget or who simply do not have enough time, although in fact they are very important. The easiest way to formulate the goal of recovery is for individual entrepreneurs or people working exclusively for themselves, as they have the opportunity to work even harder and at the same time to spend much less energy, which, accordingly, promises great earnings and a prospect for development. Try to choose a goal not only that which is useful, but which is still desirable, in which case the ascent will be more cheerful.
- Learn where you spend most of your day. Often, we spend all our time in a very irrational way: we watch TV, movies or TV shows for a long time( that they already get bored), we communicate with friends( despite the time), we do those kinds of work( at home or at the enterprise) that are easier, andnot those that are more important. The time log will help to change the situation, it can be a usual notebook or notebook, in which we will record all the cases that we perform during the day. And you do not need to fix at the end of the day( you can forget a lot), but directly in the process. At the end of the week, you will most likely be shocked at the results - you learn that you spend most of the day on stupid and unnecessary things. And already on the first morning of the next week, when the brain activity is at its maximum, you will not be engaged in unnecessary affairs, since a pure consciousness will not allow you to waste your time.
- Be consistent and patient. It is worth to reconcile with the fact that it's hard to get used to getting up early - it's unlikely to happen, especially if you are used to sleeping before lunch. In the new regime of the day should be poured gradually. For example, if you are used to getting up at 10:00, then putting the alarm at 5:00, you are unlikely to wake up, and if you do this, all day you will walk broken, tired and not completely asleep. Instead, we recommend starting to wake up every day 5-10 minutes earlier than usual. Yes, maybe in that case you will not be able to learn how to get up early, but the acquired habit will be useful, and you really can wake up early without an alarm clock yourself. Such patience is necessary not only for habituation, but also for the adoption of new living conditions by the body.
- Create ideal conditions for lifting. Sometimes we get in a lot of things( or rather, it does not contribute to early wakefulness).Firstly, it is the temperature in the apartment, it should not be too high( the heat will be annoying), but not too low, otherwise you will not want to get out from under a warm blanket. In the winter, try to have warm clothes next to the bed to quickly wrap around them, after waking up. Secondly, in the kitchen, you should always have your favorite tea or coffee, along with a delicious( cooked beforehand) breakfast. Third, prepare everything you need for work or for the activities that you will take. That is, make a plan of tasks for the morning and for the day as a whole( in advance in the evening), prepare the necessary documents on the table, as well as the clothes that you will wear. If you go in for sports, then you will need to prepare the necessary equipment, clothes and a plan of physical exercises.
- Previously lie down and spend the day actively. It's easy to wake up early - you need to sleep earlier, but getting yourself to go to bed early is also very difficult, because, as a rule, at this time we find for ourselves a thousand interesting activities, from which we can not tear ourselves away, although they can anddo not carry any value in yourself. To fix the situation is quite simple, during the day you should work not only with your head, but also physically tired: doing exercises, walking more often and not being lazy to perform tasks that require physical effort. In that case, at the end of the day you will be simply tired, and you will want to sleep exclusively.
- The secret in the alarm clock. You can act simpler - just every day set alarms for the time that you need to wake up. However, if the alarm clock is to stand directly beside the bed, you can turn it off easily and continue to examine your dreams. It's quite easy to fix the situation - by placing the alarm clock in a place where it would be difficult for you to turn it off quickly. For example, on the closet in the far corner, under the bed or in the bedside table, closing it on the key( and the key to ask to hide someone from the "home").In general, the essence of this method is that every morning you will be awakened by an alarm clock, which is difficult to turn off immediately, and until you get to it - then have time to wake up.
- Ask someone to call you. If your alarm does not have a convincing enough signal, then instead of it you can use the capabilities of your mobile phone. Ask someone from your family to wake you up on the phone, and not just call, but call and talk with you. Telephone conversation quickly leads to the feelings of a sleepy person, especially if he is constantly asked about something and asked to tell something. On the Internet, even developed a similar service, where you could leave your phone number and date / time, which you need to get woken up. If you learn to wake up with friends, then try to call up and communicate by phone in the morning, thereby preventing each other from falling asleep, and in general, joint efforts will help you quickly join the new regime of the day.
- Ask your relatives to wake you up. If you do not live alone, then ask your relatives to wake you up on a regular basis. And do not just say the phrase: "Get up, sleepy!", Namely, sit down next to you and start talking with you, the effect is about the same as on the phone, but here the bigger problem is whether any of the relatives,which you live, get up so early, and even communicate with you.
- A radical way to wake up. "Computer geniuses" came up with an original way to awaken the younger generation - they install a program on the computer that at some point starts the computer and begins to completely format the entire hard drive. You can disable formatting only by entering a series of data, in continuous mode. The idea of the method is that almost every PC owner has a number of important files on the hard disk that can not be lost in any way, so you want - you do not want to, but you have to get out of bed, and the data input will finally drive the dream off.
- Do not eat before going to bed! Eating before going to bed promises a restless night, which is unlikely to get enough sleep, and in the morning you will feel "broken" and tired. If you have a desperate situation, try to eat only light food( fruits or vegetables), but not meat products, sweets or fatty foods.
- Sleep in the afternoon! In the first months of a regular early awakening, you will feel all day a little uncomfortable and will always sleep, to avoid it, try to allocate at least one hour for daytime sleep during the day. He will cheer up, and you will spend the evening in a good mood, and also will be full of energy.
- Create a morning ritual. For example, you get up, go to the bathroom, wash, drink, a glass of cold water and become a shower. If you take these steps daily, then eventually develop a habit, and even if you are still awake badly - you will automatically go to the bathroom, the kitchen, and then to the shower, which will become the final point of awakening. It is strongly advised not to linger long in bed, trying to force yourself to get up. You will not get anything done, and in general it is dangerous, because if you, therefore, wake up to an important event, and then accidentally fall asleep( trying to wake up), in the end there is a high probability that you will fall asleep.
- "Whip and Gingerbread". Invent for yourself a system of penalties and rewards, for example, for not fulfilling the regime, fine yourself for money( giving them to an orphanage), or to work( going to a grandmother to give a country garden to drip a garden).If you are on the contrary follow the regime, it is always "shikuyte" - rest more, buy yourself the desired things or communicate more with friends.
- Do not pick up your tablet before going to bed or watch TV. The big problem of modern people is that they are at bedtime - read news on the Internet, watch movies, TV shows or television programs. All of the above causes the brain to actively process the information received, that is, afterwards it can not calm down and fall asleep. If you can not fall asleep in silence or darkness - try to read books, but again, this should not be action-packed novels, choose something more calm. Reading is better than books, not a tablet or an e-book, since the screens will also emit light, which in turn irritates the retina of the eye. You can also put relaxing music so that it plays quietly and somewhere in the background, but be sure to turn it off when you feel that you are falling asleep, otherwise you will wake up in the morning, and your head will be as if cast-iron from night noise.
- Use folk methods to fall asleep. To sleep earlier and wake up earlier, folk medicine men advise drinking before going to bed warm milk, as well as eating a few tablespoons of honey. We would still advise to take a contrast shower, but the last stage of watering should be a warm stream of water. The shower will help you relieve the emotional tension, and you will fall asleep even better. At night we do not recommend drinking tea or coffee, but in the morning it is quite acceptable, unless you have problems( diseases) with the gastrointestinal tract( gastrointestinal tract).Wake up at the same time! When entering a new mode - remember that now you will have to choose a specific time range, which you will regularly get up on. If you constantly "jump" in the clock( wake up then at 5:00, then at 7:00, then at 9:00), in the end, do not teach yourself to get up early in the morning.
strength of will to difficult and painstaking tasks. Thirdly, the early rise improves the mood, thereby setting the tone for the whole day.
