As temperatures drop in the morning, more and more people are snuggling deeper into their blankets instead of getting up. Sleeping in is perfectly fine on weekends, but on weekdays when we need to leave for school or work early, time is of the essence. To help you fight off lethargy, here are some tips to help you get up faster during the BER months.
1

Do not stay awake late at night by surfing or stalking people on social media, or going out with friends. Save these for Friday or the weekend. Sleeping late makes you extra-sluggish in the morning—and coupled with the cold weather, you don’t stand a chance!

Salivating over the latest tech gadget? Dreaming of that dream house you want to build for your family? Then get out of bed and start reaching for your goals. By reminding yourself WHY you have to go to the office motivates you in giving your all at work. Be positive, and keep your eye on the prize. You’ll find it easier to ditch the bed for your workplace.

3

The reason why we want to stay in bed when cold weather strikes is because of our warm sheets. So why not drink something warm to boost your temperature? A warm caffeine kick may also be the thing to jolt you into wakefulness so you’ll feel ready to face the day.

When inertia is pulling you down, some recommend setting your alarm 15 minutes in advance, and snooze it every 5 minutes for at least three times. This way, your body has time to adjust to fully waking up. With the constant ringing of your alarm, it will be more difficult for you to go back to sleep.

5

Taking a shower can get your blood circulation going, and help warms your body. If you find yourself nodding off in the shower, ditch the hot water and go for cold. Trust us; you’ll be awake in no time.
So the next time you’re experiencing separation anxiety with your warm bed, try these literally eye-opening suggestions. Here’s to more productive days with an early headstart in the mornings!
