Slash an Hour From Your Day
If you want to wake up earlier, trim down those evening obligations, says Dr. Marks.
Pile On the Protein
You know the saying: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”
Reward Yourself
Yes! You did it! You didn’t hit the snooze button! “Once up, take advantage of the extra time you’ve given yourself to build
in a few minutes of a ‘reward’,” says psychologist Patricia Adson, author of
A Princess and Her Garden.
Give Yourself a Pep Talk
“Remember, you don’t have to want to get up, you just have to do it,” says Adson.
Exercise When the Sun Comes Up
We're wired (via circadian rhythms/our
internal 24-hour clock) to have peak alertness around mid-morning, says
Dr. Marks.
“Early morning exercise can help boost the
morning energy surge, as you will have elevated body temperature and
elevated adrenalin
levels for several hours after you
exercise.”
Style Strands Before Bedtime
To cut down (um, erase) morning drying time, Ashley Stone of Beauty Entourage, a traveling salon, suggests washing hair the
night before and putting it into a loose braid.
...Or, Braid Hair in the Morning
A tell-tale sign that you are
not
a morning person? Your hair. But whether you’re already an early riser
or you’re still working on it, a braid can disguise
all levels of mane-mess—from a little
frizz to a bonafide bedhead, says Morgan Willhite, creative director at
Ouidad Salon
in New York City.
Revamp Your Makeup Routine
Keep your face polished and fresh.
Invite Light Indoors
“Bright light from a light box that is designed to emit light similar to sunlight is probably
the most powerful thing you can do to force your body awake in the mornings,” says Dr. Marks.
Turn Everything Off
Keep the radio and television volumes low in the evenings in order to create an atmosphere that lulls you into sleepy mode,
suggests Dr. Marks.
