how to be a morning person + feel more awake

recently ella done a morning routine, so i thought i would do a post on tips on becoming more of a morning person!

personally i never used to be morning person but the past few months i have been trying really hard to become one as it just makes me feel so much better when i wake up earlier. i am always way more productive if i get up earlier and i feel more refreshed!

♡ routine
a routine is definitely the key to being a morning person, getting up at the same time every day makes a massive difference when converting to a morning person. i wake up at 7am every school day (but set my alarm for 6.45) then 9am on weekends!

♡ no long lies
this relates to the first point, as much as you want stay in bed or have a long lie it won't help and in fact make it harder to be a morning person.

♡ go to sleep earlier + turn off electronics before bed
a pretty obvious one but go to bed earlier, so you are getting a decent amount of sleep. its really hard for me to turn off electronics for like 2 hours before bed but i am managing to turn them off half an hour - 45 mins before bed while i read.

♡ put your alarm at the other end of your room where you can't reach it
i have started doing this and it definitely works! i have always been the person who hits snooze a million times so if this is you definitely try this hack x

♡ leave an incentive to get out of bed
have your favourite tv show recorded downstairs or your favourite breakfast to look forward to if you get out of bed

♡ have something planned
if you have something planned you have to get out of bed, even if it's just meeting a friend for costa!

♡ get some exercise first thing
every morning i do some physio which makes me feel so good and ready for the day

♡ set your alarm earlier than you have to wake up
i do this a lot, if you hit snooze all the time this is another one for you! this avoids you being late for anything, i do this everyday for school!

♡ have a shower to wake you up
this is one of the best ways to wake you up, having a shower! i wouldn't have a hot shower nor a cold shower just somewhere in between to wake you up yet not make you all cold!

♡ have a glass of cold water with lemon (optional)
i always have a glass of cold water every morning with my breakfast which really wakes me up. lemon is also meant to be even more refreshing, but personally i'm not a fan of lemons

♡ get dressed/ready straight away
instead of lying about in your pj's get dressed straight away and it will make you feel more awake x

hope this post was helpful xx - em <3
