Summary: 1. Get as much light into your eyes for 5-10 min as early as possible (Outside Light > Light from Window > Artificial Light) 2. Exercise (no need for a full workout) in the morning helps get rid of the groggy morning feel and helps you sleep better the next night 3. Delay drinking caffeine 1-2 hours after waking up to prevent mid-day crash/slump 4. Drink a glass of water when you wake up (recouping the lost water overnight) 5. Cold showers help you wake up easier (Tip: Start with warm water, then turn it to cold for the last 30sec for a similar effect)

“winning back your weekend” is a great way to motivate yourself to start weekends on the right path with these habits. i think doing these on weekend mornings will allow me to rest and have fun later in the day with a better mood rather than feeling lazy/guilty

I do everything except exercise and cold showers. My job is very physical already so I've gotta save my energy. Lol And the cold air in the morning already makes it hard to get out of bed. I’ve discovered that a steamy shower in the morning really gets my blood moving and I feel so more awake and warm. It’s like a hot cup of coffee or tea but for my whole body. The problem is just working up the motivation to get out of bed. 😅

[@emmakate2376]

When I was in a mental hospital for 3 months we all followed a routine and would get ready and walk outside and get sunlight and go to school or were we eat and we did it every day at the same time getting up and going to bed at the same time after a few weeks i’d get so tired before 7:30- 8:00 pm and id have to go to bed and let me tell you i’ve never been like that in my life ive always had problems with sleeping and waking up early i never had that much energy through the day i’d never thought i could just wake up at 6 am with out an alarm or going back to bed it was the best 3 months of sleep i’ve ever gotten and i’d give a lot of it to the strict and simple routine and sunlight

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

So happy for you 💪

[@JohntheNobleSavage]

Thank you. I get up at 4:00 a.m. I take an ice cold shower but I drink coffee immediately! I go to bed at 8:00 p.m. after taking a couple of melatonin @7:00 p.m. Since I live in Florida we get plenty of light I'll start going out now the minute the sun comes up! You have taught a chronically old man a lot of good stuff! Just remember kiddies the older you get the more you will find that trying to stay alive becomes increasingly important!

[@Sofia-wx7mf]

Notes for me water - sunligh - exercise 1. Drink water when you first wake up 2. Get some kind of light expousour withing 1 hour of waking up 3. Short exercise to get rid of the rest of Adenasine (sleepy feeling) 4. INCREASE BODY TEMPERATURE with cold showers or a sweater (omg cold showers make sence now) 1/12/23

When I work in a warehouse during winter season I wake up at 3:45 am and finish work when it's dark. I get no sunlight 5 days a week. Most people in workforce that work at least 10 hours barely see any sun during the week half a year. It is a serious issue and one of the causes of suicide and depression.

[@Salma_Siala]

What I do is getting out of bed quickly as soon as I wake up. Because the more you stay in it the lazier you'll get. I jump off bed, wash my face and start doing anything I like but not on my phone, I'm not allowed to use my phone until I'm fully awake. The early hours of the day are the most important, they'll affect the rest of the day, because of all the thoughts we get from just using social media, or even replying to a friend's text, we will keep thinking about it, and it will drain our energy. But if we start with something really important to us we will be happy and satisfied, and it'll give us energy for the rest of the day.

[@mickeynotmouse]

As a 30 year old guy who was been watching videos exactly like this on and off since he was 15, none of this shit works. I'm sorry to say sometimes your daily activities are unsustainable and you gotta listen to your body and get some more sleep. Sometimes you can do that, and sometimes life just sucks and you can't. Here's a trick that has worked for me when I'm paralized in the mornings though: try to feel every part of your body slowly from your toes and go up to your head (not with your hands, just be aware of what is touching them or how they feel), at the same time as you hear what you hear and see what you see (birds outside, water, the wall in front of you) and take a huge breath. That will usually get you moving for like a minute, and sometimes that's enough. Take it one day at a time, or even better one moment at a time. Don't think about "I have my whole week ahead". You don't have to do your whole week right now. You just have to get in the shower. And if its gonna be nice and warm it's gonna be way easier to get in there lmao

[@aaron5734]

I just saw this video, but I have been doing this routine for a couple months now. Monday-Friday I wake up, drink a lot of water, go outside to soak in the sun. then i either run or lift weights. After I shower, then I have my coffee and a little food (usually overnight oats). Literally I have energy all day! it’s amazing if you force yourself to do it

I work from home (starting around 9am) and for the last 3 weeks I've been trying to do some exercise before that (either going to the gym or running), it was a complete failure, I tend to do what you showed here, wake up, grab my phone in the dark and when I realise I spent 40 minutes scrolling twitter and it's too late to do anything, definitely going to implement this steps, working from home can turn you into a sedentary person without you noticing it.

The finishing your warm shower with gradually cooler water trick also makes your hair shinier! At least for me. I open up all the blinds/curtains as soon as I'm up. I often am not ready for the light but I know the light will help. And it does.

[@73cidalia]

Unfortunately, in places like Northern USA and Canada, in the long winter months, it’s still very dark at 7 am, so opening blinds isn’t going to help. That’s where artificial light comes in. 💡

This is a wonderful breakdown This is absolutely justify why i can force myself to wake up early and do my stuff for few days but then i just crashes and wake up late but my body feels so right But i think we need more information about how the body manage adenosine, like just delaying drinking caffeine is not the solution if we knew how it circles to be ATP again i think that's the key

Ur vid does not give me much information i need, but it actually make me curious and do i search myself. Now i figure out my own routine, about to start rn. Appreciate it. let's me share a bit. i have early pratice, the sun is not even up yet, and yes its everyday. 1. wake up 5, laying around 5min, 2. making bed 3. water 4. restroom 5. snack, a quick bar (should take before having coffeeine), energy drinking to boost. (i aware of side effect and already have solution, ill do further research) 6. packing up and run =)) (30mins total) hope it work for me.

[@boycottmainstream]

[@christiancoder454]

Could you do some research of waking up easier with chronic pain?

[@DTLamia]

Something that has helped me is having a very light alarm (like just vibrations) that slowly get me out of my sleep, without the hard cut a loud alarm has, 10min before my actual loud alarm. It helpes me not feeling groggy or getting scared by the alarm.

I get up every day around 6am to 7am after years of being a nightowl and normally waking up noon to 3pm for a few decades. How? I moved from US to Japan so the time I normally wake up in the afternoon is morning in Japan, it worked perfectly. Same for my nightowl mom, in Japan, she's an early bird. Sometimes we just have a certain inner timing and need to move to the right time zone. ALSO what helped was my hubby I am bewitched by is an early bird and I wanted to be near him every waking hour.
