What wakes you up in the morning?

I'm surprised no one mentioned the best energy giver in the world: fresh fruit.

I'm not talking about what our LPs say. No pill is as effective as fresh fruit.

Try eating more fresh food instead of burgers and fries. Instead of a chocolate bar, go for a nice piece of fruit. You will notice a considerable energy pump in only 10 minutes. It will last for hours, and it will result in you needing less sleep also.

If your body doesn't get enough nutrition through food, it will try to replenish itself with sleep. That's why you can't wake up properly. Needless to say that you can't avoid food by sleeping longer.

This is the single most effective way you can wake up your body. You will also need less sleep because your body gets what it needs. Our bodies weren't made to consume artificial additives; these do appear like an easy solution but they will never replace natural food.

Just give it a try and you'll see what I mean.
 


A+++.... that and 2 chicks at the same time.

1. I hate being tired, so I get at least 7 hours of sleep.
2. I don't look at it as a burden to get up early in the morning, I enjoy it.

The morning is my favorite part of the day, so I really don't have any problems getting up. Also, my productivity is much better at 5am than it is at 5pm.

I used to be a late sleeper 3-4 years ago. One thing that helped me was I tried to gradually change the time I went to bed. I would aim for 10 minutes earlier every night, and after awhile I had no problem getting to bed at 9:30 or 10pm, and waking up with enough energy to last me through the day.

Also, if at all possible try to wake up to the sunlight. Have some blinds on your window that allows the sun to creep in as it rises. Waking up to the sunlight can give you a nice burst of energy in the morning. When you wake up in pitch darkness your body doesn't really want to get up because it still thinks it is night out.

Drink about 6 glasses of water an hour before you go to bed.

You'll definitely get up eventually.

the funny thing is, the hydration helps you sleep better and the urge to pee comes on gradually which wakes you up gradually which makes it easier to actually get out of bed.

Also, find out how much sleep you actually NEED and get that much. I used to be constantly groggy on 8-9 hours. I switched down in 10 minute intervals until I found out that 6.5 is actually optimal for me.

You might just be getting too much sleep.

I assure you it isn't that I get too much sleep haha. During the week I'll go on a string of 3 hours of sleep per night Mon-Fri. I try to get 6-7 hours a night, but the amount of shit I have to do just doesn't allow me to do that. It also takes me 2 hours to get going in the morning. If I need to be somewhere at 7:30, I need to wake up at 5:30 else I'll be late as fuck.
