How to Become a Morning Person for Someone Who Hates Mornings

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

Have you have met someone who’d been up since the crack of dawn and they were functioning? Did you wonder how that was possible? At first, they probably annoy you because they are so happy in the morning, but you secretly wish you could be them. Think about all the things they accomplished before noon. Mornings are rough if you like sleeping in, but they are not impossible. Everyone has a routine to help them get out of bed.

MULTIPLE ALARMS

If you set multiple alarms it will help annoy you out of bed. It’s a reminder you have things to do.

CAFFEINE

Coffee is your best friend in the morning! Do not neglect it because it will get you through your day! (Black tea will do, too.)

BALLER PLAYLIST

I promise if you blare a great soundtrack you will be in a better mood almost instantly. Spotify got us covered.

WORK OUT

Hit the gym in the morning! Getting your blood pumping will help wake you up. It doesn’t hurt to get your workout out of the way. Also, the empty gym is a plus!

SHOWER

As long as you stay awake in the shower, a cleanse can help your bleary eyes and bed head!

LAY CLOTHES OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE

Pick an outfit that you want to wear! Lay it out the night before so you don’t have to think about it. Don’t be ashamed if you’re hype about your grunge outfit– those can be the best outfits!

PLAN A BREAKFAST OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE

Before falling asleep picture that delicious breakfast you’re going to have. Start your day off right!

WORK IN VEG TIME BEFORE CLASS

Giving yourself time to lay low and wake up. Penciling this time in will let you be more focused in class.

MORE CAFFEINE

GO TO BED AT A DECENT TIME

Sleep is important! Young adults tend to need 7-9 hours so plan ahead! Keep in mind it will take a week of two for your body to adjust to the new bedtime.

 

MAKE IT A ROUTINE

The first two weeks of early mornings will be rough! Don’t give up. It will get better!

JUST DO IT

Sometimes you just need to push yourself to achieve your goal.

THIS COULD BE YOU!
