I Need Help To Wake Up In The Morning

Published: Last Updated: Sep 18, 2024

 As Aussies, we love a good sleep-in. But when the alarm goes off in the morning, it can be difficult to pull ourselves out of bed and start our day with energy and focus. Fortunately, there are some simple sleep solutions that can help you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Let's explore some of these techniques for getting out of bed in the morning feeling your best.
waking up in the morning

Block Out Curtains

One of the most effective ways to get out of bed feeling rested is to block out sunlight from entering your bedroom. Sunlight is one of the main culprits behind early morning wake-up calls. Investing in some block out curtains will ensure that you don’t get disturbed by those pesky rays in the early hours. Plus, having dark curtains can work wonders for keeping your bedroom at a comfortable temperature throughout the night – essential for sound sleep!


Blue Light Glasses

If you’re not sleeping as well as you should be, blue light glasses might just be your saving grace! Blue light emitted from screens (like smartphones, laptops or TVs) can interfere with our body’s natural production of melatonin – a hormone that helps us fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. Wearing blue light glasses while you’re working or watching TV will reduce exposure to this type of blue light and help you get more restful sleep.


Set an Alarm For Bedtime

It might sound silly but setting an alarm for when it’s time to go to bed can actually be really helpful if you’re having trouble getting up in the mornings. Having a regular bedtime routine will help keep your body clock in check and make it easier for you to wake up at a consistent time each morning – even on weekends! Try setting an alarm for yourself 20 minutes before it’s time for lights out so that you have enough time to wind down from your day without feeling rushed.

Keep a Consistent Schedule

The most important thing you can do is keep a consistent sleep/wake cycle. It might sound simple, but having an established routine that you stick to every day helps your body adjust and will make it easier for you to wake up feeling alert and refreshed each morning. Try going to bed at the same time each night and setting an alarm for when it’s time to wake up in the morning. Even on weekends, try not to deviate too far from this routine—you may want those extra hours of sleep on Sunday morning, but if you don’t stay consistent with your sleep schedule, your body won’t adjust as easily during the weekdays.


Be Gentle With Yourself

Finally, remember that it takes time for our bodies to adjust so don’t beat yourself up if it takes longer than expected - be gentle with yourself throughout this process. You may find that taking some deep breaths before getting out of bed helps set a calming tone for the rest of your day ahead. Additionally, try avoiding reaching immediately for your phone or other devices once you're awake - give yourself a few moments alone with just your thoughts before starting your daily routine..

Getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult but there are steps we can take towards getting better sleep at night and waking up feeling refreshed each day. Keeping a consistent sleeping schedule is key here - even on weekends - as well as investing in blackout curtains and blue light glasses for better quality shut-eye during both day and night time hours respectively. Don't forget about being gentle with yourself throughout this process - taking deep breaths when needed - as there's nothing wrong with taking things slow! With these tips in mind, you should have a better start to your day.
