When you set your alarm before going to bed at night, do you think about the early time you will wake up in the morning and the tiredness you will feel when you wake up? When we cannot keep up with the intensity and speed of our daily lives, we often cannot even make time for ourselves to sleep. Trying to relieve some of the tiredness by postponing waking up in the morning can be considered a solution. Is it really so? How can we break the cycleĀ of tirednessĀ and waking up late and wake up moreĀ energeticĀ ? Here are some helpful suggestions for waking up early!
Why is it important to wake up early?
Waking up early is one of the most important factors that support holistic health. Waking up with the sun or waking up before the sun is included in many teachings. However, it is also an action that has been proven to have healing effects by scientificĀ researchĀ . When our body gets used to going to bed early at night and waking up early in the morning, our sleep quality also improves.
Waking up early in the morning allows us to spend more time for ourselves, allowing us to create a healthy and productive routine. It allows us to take advantage of the silence of the early hours of the day, providing a suitable environment for increasing our focus, thinking and setting goals. The time we spend for ourselves in the morning helps us get out of the home and work cycle that we are stuck in, and encourages us to communicate with ourselves.
What is the connection between waking up early and creating a routine?
One of the most important factors in waking up early is having a routine. In the intensity of modern life, we can find ourselves turning into robots working to survive. At this point, creating a routine helps us establish our sleep patterns, sleep better and support our overall health. It is also supportedĀ by researchĀ that some lifestyle changes, even small ones, cause fewer chronic diseases .
Creating a routine is not something you can add to your life in one day, and you need to give yourself time. The harder it is for your body to adapt to a routine it is not used to, the less likely you are to stick to it. If your goal is to wake up early, you can start by getting yourself used to waking up 5 minutes earlier each day. Once your body and mind get used to the idea of āāwaking up early, it will be easier to plan your days. For example, you can set aside 1 hour for yourself before work to do the activities you want and prepare yourself for the day.
Don’t sleep late on weekends
Are you thinking about the days when you will not get out of bed to get rid of the tiredness brought on by the intensity you have experienced during the week and to regain your energy? Although it may seem very attractive and relaxing in your mind, sleeping too much on the weekends can disrupt the routine and natural rhythm you have created during the week. According to aĀ study,Ā waking up early on the weekends helps you sleep better and wake up energetic. By not having a weekend escape and sticking to a regular sleep schedule, you will not only improve your sleep schedule; you will also maintain the flexibility to make the most of your weekends.
