When you're warm and cozy in bed and your alarm goes off, your first instinct is to hit snooze. When you snooze your alarm and drift back to sleep, you're resetting your sleep cycle. The next time your alarm sounds, you'll be groggier because you're interrupting a new sleep cycle. This is called "sleep inertia." Get into the habit of waking up the first time your alarm sounds. You'll be more alert and motivated to get going with your day.  Keep your curtains partially open. When light fills your bedroom in the morning, waking up is easier. Light in the morning tells your body to naturally awaken. It will help you get into a lighter stage of sleep, so when your alarm sounds, it's easier to get out of bed. Set your alarm for 10 or 15 minutes earlier. You can ease into your morning more calmly as opposed to rushing around. Sit up slowly in bed and do some stretches. Make an effort to go to bed around the same time each night, even on weekends or days off. Consistency is key to healthy sleep patterns. Your circadian rhythm stays in sync when you have the same bedtime routine each night. Have two or three ready-to-go outfits in your closet. For example, have your shirt, pants, and belt on one hanger, with matching shoes below. This takes the guesswork out of choosing an outfit for the morning. Sleep in your workout clothes. If you want to work out first thing in the morning, you'll have one less thing to do if you're already dressed to hit the gym. You're dehydrated when you wake up since you've fasted all night during sleep. Drink a glass of water or a small cup of juice with your breakfast. This wakes up the cells in your brain. It's an instant way to feel more alert and motivated. Drink caffeine moderately. A cup or two of coffee or tea helps you feel more alert. Avoid caffeine overload. Any more than three cups may make you feel jittery and distracted. It can actually decrease motivation because you're unable to focus. Not everyone benefits from a full workout first thing in the morning. If fitting in a workout means you'll cut into your seven to nine hours of sleep, then working out later in the day may be better for you. However, doing brief amounts physical activity in the morning will help you feel more awake and energized.  Move around to music while you're getting ready for the day. Listen to music and dance while brushing your teeth or making your coffee. Even two or three minutes of movement goes a long way. Take a brisk walk outside for five minutes. A quick walk gets your blood pumping and activates your brain. You'll be more motivated to start your day. Keep things organized so you remember all your essentials such grabbing your keys and feeding your dog. List the things you need to do before you leave the house in the morning on a dry erase board. Also keep a basket by the door and place the things you'll need for your day.  Put your keys, transportation passes, wallet, handbag, sunglasses and backpack in the basket. In the morning, you'll know exactly where all of your essential items are so you can grab and go. Write a checklist of things you must do before you leave the house on the white board. Scan the board each morning so you can leave the house knowing you've remembered everything. For example, list “feed cat, grab lunch, take coffee.”
