How To Adopt Proper Sleeping Habits?

By Rosana Horowitz

There are some people in the world who revere their morning routines. They seem to always wake up on the right side of the bed, full of boundless energy and enthusiasm. They start every new day with high optimistic expectations, thinking that the day would go exactly according to their plans. Now, these rare species of human beings are very few. Of course, every once in a while, you wake up feeling that everything in your life is exactly as it should be. You are at peace with the world, and the poignancy of the moment might make you teary eyed, but let us face it; it does not happen everyday (the tears might not be of joy after all - you have breakfast to prepare, get ready for work, chores to do, bills to pay, etc). Although the purpose of this article is not to get you down in the dumps and make you feel bad about your attitude towards life, it is human nature to procrastinate, grumble, drag the feet and put off the inevitable until the very last minute. Alas, I, as a concerned citizen, have decided to do something useful, and have outlined a morning ritual, which if followed, would benefit us all. Just follow my lead:

Early to bed and early to rise:

An adult needs at least eight hours of sleep to feel fresh and equipped to tackle the up-coming day. So, make sure that you get seven to eight hours of necessary good night sleep.

The primary point to be considered is to have sufficient sleep of about 8 hours. Having a sound sleep of about 8 hours is a healthy habit. It will help you in conducting the whole day activities in an efficient way.

Another best way to wake up early is to set an alarm on a clock with a snooze button on. The clock must not be placed too close to be easily switched off. It should be at a distance so that you can easily hear its sound but cannot turn it off to silence. Most of the people blame their alarm clocks for their late rousing. It is not the fault of the clock. All you need is to bring about attitudinal changes.

Stand up straight away:

Try to keep your curtains open while sleeping at night. In this way, you will see the rising sun in the morning and wake up. Moreover, you will also get to know that it is the perfect time to wake up by hearing the songs of the birds. If you use blinds on your room windows, just keep them open.

Moreover, it is also suggested to keep your room temperature normal. You must not keep your room warm, even in winters. It will also help you waking up early in the morning. - 29881
