Step 1: Associate Your Waking Up With Good Feelings

That is the best thing you can do for yourself if you need to kick start your day on time. You probably hate the sound of your alarm once it starts every morning, most times, you want to sleep more to continue with your lovely dreams. More often than not you will be tapping the snooze button out of venomous spite so as to continue sleeping. You might even hate the sound or the tone of the alarm. Why can’t you try to make use of one of the many applications on your phone which play your favorite songs in place of the alarm? When you are jamming half-consciously to your favorite groove, starting your day on time will not be an issue.

Step 2: You Need to Get Moving ASAP

The first step above works faster and better when attached with brighter incentives to leave your bed’s safe haven. For the starters, place your alarm across the room, this will force you to walk. And since you are already out of bed, throw on your pants for modesty and peek out your front door so as to enjoy the soft rays of fresh morning sunlight. Try much as possible to indulge in the therapeutic chirpings of local songbirds. After all, this is the main reason you are changing your routine. This will surely work for you.

Step 3: You Need to Plan Ahead To Stay Out of Bed

Going through these two steps above, your head-grabbing grogginess should have loosened its grip on you after all of this motion. Use this opportunity to make your bed look undesirable else you will crawl back into it. Many are of the opinion of making your bed immediately, but one thing is certain, flopping over the covers is still too much of a threat. You need to know the method that works for you.

Step 4: Reward Yourself by Sleeping Early

This is the main thing, it is the clincher. You will really find it hard to carry out the steps above if you sleep very late. Try as much as possible to get the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep. In order to rise with the rooster, you need to hit the hay with the cows. Do everything possible to quit staying up late. If you can discipline yourself for two to three weeks of 11 p.m. head-on-pillow, and 7 a.m. head-off-pillow at least, you can mend your broken sleep schedule. Though you might fail sometimes but you just need to keep trying it.

And finally for this piece,
