Now that Spring Quarter has begun, it’s time to spring back into action! But we know it can be hard. After sleeping in late, it can be difficult to wake up for those 8 A.M. classes. But have no fear, Her Campus is here to offer you great advice on how to jumpstart your morning.
Here are the top five tips to help make your mornings brighter.
1) Breakfast is key
Starting off your morning with a nutritious breakfast is very important. In fact, this can be the motivation you need to actually get out of bed. Not to mention that a good breakfast will give you the energy that all college students desperately need.
2) Avoid the snooze button
The snooze button is making you start off with procrastination, which is not good.
3) Sleep Cycles
This online timer helps you time determine at what time you should be going to sleep or waking up so that you will not disturb your sleep cycle. When you disturb your sleep cycle, you wake up feeling unrested and groggy.
4) Caffeine
Coffee can really make a great difference in how you function and wake up in the mornings. If you follow the previous tips but it’s still not doing it for you, then caffeine might be the answer.
5) It’s okay to sometimes “cheat”
Sometimes you’re just too tired to function. Maybe you’ve been sick or you’re jet-lagged. In these cases, it’s okay to sleep in. You should always try to listen to your body and don’t be too strict on yourself.
