No matter how many hours of sleep you get the night before, you always seem to wake up cranky, groggy, and plain old lethargic. If you’re the opposite of a morning person and just can’t seem to get it together when you first wake up, these effective tips will help to perk up your morning.
- Set your alarm to your favorite song. Hearing the funky beat of your favorite song is much more welcoming than hearing the blare of the alarm clock. Most newer models of alarm clocks offer features that enable you to play a song, and if you use your smartphone as an alarm, it’s even easier. Choose a song that’s upbeat and inspiring!
- Make the most of your morning coffee. Sure, drinking coffee in the morning isn’t the most innovative idea, but drinking it correctly is a whole different concept. To get the best results from that first jolt of caffeine, be sure to drink your coffee or tea within 15 minutes of waking up. This will help you to perform tasks like showering or eating breakfast with a little more pep in your step.
- Exercise after you wake up. This one requires a bit more discipline, but exercising in the morning is one of the best ways to feel more energetic for the rest of the day. Wake up an hour earlier and get those endorphins flowing.
