6 Steps to Becoming a Morning Person:

  1. Identify your “Why” – what is the purpose and intention you have for waking up early?
  2. Calculate your hours of sleep, and ensure you’re getting enough!
  3. Keep your bedtime and wake-up time as consistent as possible – ideally within a 1-hour window.
  4. Wake yourself up gradually with a light alarm clock, which mimics the sun.
  5. Keep your regular alarm clock outside of your room to avoid hitting snooze.
  6. Leave yourself a glass of water next to your alarm clock to drink as soon as you wake up, in addition to your running shoes, a book, the teapot or whatever you need to enjoy the first part of your morning!
