How to make you get up easier?

Fool Your Internal Clock

Setting your alarm back a full hour is jarring to your system, so take baby steps. Every two days, set the alarm for just 10 minutes earlier.And don't stress out about shifting back the time you go to sleep.You'll naturally adjust to an earlier bedtime after a few days.

Sip All Your Coffee by 10 A.M.

Get your caffeine fix right when you roll out of bed. It'll take effect within half an hour and stay in your body through out the afternoon, when people who wake up early are typically most exhausted.You can have all you want, but just make sure you switch to decaf or some other non caffeine drink by 10.That way, it'll all be out of your system by bedtime.

Go to the Gym After Work

Sleep experts used to believe that a morning workout was a great way to wake up the body. But actually, the ideal time is right after work.Three to five hours after exercising, your temperature starts to drop.That tells your brain that it's time for sleep.If you work out in the morning, your brain gets that sleep signal midday and throws off your rhythm.

如何让早上起床变得更轻松?
1.忽悠你的生物钟

直接将你的闹表往前拨一个小时,这种方式对你的身体来说太激进了点,所以不妨慢慢来。每隔两天,将你的闹表往前调个10分钟。就算你的睡眠时间回调了也不要担心。过不了几天,你晚上就会自然早睡了。

2.早上10点前将你的咖啡喝光

早上一起床就喝下咖啡的话,它会在半小时内生效,并在你体内一直持续整个下午,而这时正是那些早起的人们最容易疲劳的时候。接下来你可以想喝啥喝啥,但是要记住,一定在10点左右换成脱咖啡因咖啡或者其他没有咖啡因的饮品。这样咖啡因的作用在你晚上睡觉前就会消失了。

3.下班后去健身房

睡眠专家曾经坚信上午健身对唤醒身体机能很有好处。但实际上,最理想的健身时间是下班后。因为运动之后的3到5小时,你的体温开始下降,而这将提示你的大脑,是该睡觉的时候了。如果你早上运动的话,你的大脑会在大白天就接到睡眠信号,从而大大减缓你的节奏。
