How To Wake Up In The Morning: 5 Easy Tips To Wake Up Better Everyday

1. Stop Snoozing

The single most important factor that will help you wake up in the morning is to just get straight out of bed.

It feels like the hardest thing in the world to do when you feel tired…

But once you’re up and out of bed your body will start to wake up and you’ll realize it wasn’t so bad after all!

If you want to force yourself to get out of bed then the simplest way is to move your alarm clock to the other side of the room so you’ve no choice but to get out of bed to stop it when it sounds.

2. Hydrate Your Body With Water

Hydrating your body is one of the healthiest ways to wake yourself up in the morning.

But instead of reaching for a cup of coffee (which can interfere with your cortisol levels), start your day with a large glass of water!

That doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your coffee after…

But drinking water first thing in the morning increases your alertness, boosts your metabolism, and fuels your brain! 

3. Eat Right For You

There are big debates among health experts about whether or not you should eat breakfast.

And I’m no health expert so I won’t weigh in on the argument.

But, there are good arguments for both eating breakfast and for fasting in the morning.

So what’s best?

The answer is simple… the best option is what feels right for you and your body…

If you find yourself not having energy as a result of skipping breakfast then try eating a healthy breakfast that fuels you for the morning.

However, if you already eat breakfast and feel groggy after, then try changing the type of breakfast you eat or even give a small morning fast a try.

4. Stretch Your Body

You don’t have to do a full-on morning workout but simply getting your body moving will increase your energy levels almost immediately.

Try some simple stretches, go for a short brisk walk, or if you have time, give yoga a try!

5. Shower Power

A nice hot bath or shower can help you feel sleepy before bed but what about using the shower as a way to help you wake up in the morning?

Well, there’s actually a right way to shower and a wrong way to shower when you want to feel more energized in the morning.

The trick is to switch the water temperature to cold for about 30 seconds towards the end of your shower for a boost of alertness that lasts all morning!
