Tip #11. Have important things planned for the morning

If you want to wake up early then make sure you have something important planned for the morning â€" something that you really want to do first thing as you wake up and which is more important than taking an extra hour of sleep.

Tip #10. Do not eat before going to bed

Don't eat too much right before bedtime. You may have light snack 2 hours before sleep time, but not later. This advice has simple explanation. Your organism stays awake digesting the food, so even if you fall asleep part of your body is not "sleeping" and overall you still have less effective sleep which is not restful...

Tip #9. Create a reward system for yourself

Excellent trick that works very well not only for waking up but whenever you want to do something you don't like or keep procrastinating on is putting a reward ahead of you...

Tip #8. Ask someone who wakes up early to wake you up

If you are lucky to have friends or relatives who wake up early - ask them to wake you up. You may ask friend to call your number (just have your phone close so you don't wake up all the house or your neighbours). Or you may ask a friend who is jogging in the morning by your house to knock your door. The secret of this trick is actually not in the fact someone wakes you up (alarm clock can do it as well)...

Tip #7. Sleep with fresh air

One of the tricks to wake up early is to have more effective sleep for the same amount of time. Freshen the air in your room before you go to sleep (or just sleep with windows open if outside temperature is OK), and you will have more relaxed and more deep sleep...

Tip #6. Take a nap in the afternoon

If you struggle to wake up early, chances are your body doesn't get enough sleep. Try to take a nap for 20-30 minutes at day time. It helps reduce stress and you will feel refreshed. Best time to take a nap is midday...

Tip #5. Let the music wake you up

This is an excellent trick that I use for a long time. Do you have your favorite song? Then all you will need is a music player with a built-in alarm clock. Set the player to play the song you selected and set the time of alarm...

Tip #4. It takes 3 weeks to make a habit

Some sources say it takes 21 day to make a habit, some say it's 24 days, some say it's 30. Doesn't really matter. What matters is that you do not need to commit yourself to waking up early on every day till the end of your life. It's kind of commitment which is extremely hard to give! What you do is you commit to wake up early for 3 weeks. That's all. You know that on 22nd day you may sleep for as long as you want. Guess what? After 3 weeks, you will not want to sleep any longer!

Tip #3. Give a promise to wake up early

Give a promise to someone that you will start waking up early. Works best with your family members, friends, etc. Once given, promise should be kept, or you lose respect with those people...

Tip #2. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day

It's a good habit you must acquire. First, you get more effective sleep for the same period of time, if you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day...

Tip #1. To wake up early, go to bed early

As simple as it seems, this tip is hard to beat. Having enough sleep is important not only to wake up early, but to feel energized on the next day, be productive and focused...

Tip #0. Forget Tubag Bohol...

[slackware]

[hazel]

[..yadz..]

[lumine]

since i'm now a full time mom, waking up early or late depends upon my lil boss.

there was one time, he was awake at 1:30 a.m. so what i did, we went downstairs and prepared my rice and inon-on na salmon, and my 8-month lil boss enjoyed eating, too.

Welcome to the real world. All of us have a hard time waking up early in the morning. Some have a harder time than others. It takes discipline and self control to wake yourself up.

As one grows older, the earlier one wakes up in the morning.

I have no trouble waking up early (not that I am still a minor -- as mike believed --) but because I can't get to sleep at night.

                                                                                Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old.                     
                                                                                Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.

I got another tip!

how about placing a mouse trap on top of your alarm clock to prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button?

[lumine]

  , haze!

[..yadz..]

or you can put the alarm clock a few feet away from the bed para dili jud ma hit ang snooze...hehehe! ingon ana man gud ko... once ma hit ang snooze button, katulog jud balik., dili na hinoon maka mata., mao ipalayo nalang...hahaha!

DRINK A LOT OF MILK BEFORE BEDTIME.

Aha, I'll drink two pitchers of water before going to bed... in that way, sharo'g dili makamata aron mangihi?

[..yadz..]

dili na sad ka katulog ana GEC kay oras-oras mangihi..hehehe! worst makatulog ka ig mata nimo basa na bed kay naka ihi na diay..hahaha!

our alarm is radio, so music wakes me up every morning, pero matulog man gihapon ko balik

Sayo momata pero dugay tulog.

This is not applicable for me......i am assigned to work 2nd and 3rd shifting (nighttime), my day started at about 2:00 p.m where i took my pamahaw,paniudto ug panihapon with a cup of coffee.  Only Tubag Bohol makes me awake most of the time.

[smiffytheninja]

I need at least 8-10 alarms to wake me up from 5:00am-6:30am... regardless if I get 8 or more hours of sleep the night before. 

[ms da binsi]

Smiff, you are still a baby, and babies sleep more, right???

[smiffytheninja]

Technically, I'm not  But I am supposed to get more sleep... Unfortunately I don't most of the time. haha

[ms da binsi]

it gets dark early C2 and i dont want to miss the sun by waking up too late...

i woke up lately and i can only enjoy the sunshine for few hours then boom dark nah!!!

When it starts to snow then you can see me here 24 hours...

[Bambi]

If I have the chance not to wake up the whole day......I will do it!  But sad to say, no work - no pay, no money - no home.

I started always my day quite late for I used to go to bed early in the morning....i must have to review my ancestry, I doubt I have

Dracula's blue blood.
