Tip #8. Ask Someone Who Wakes Up Early To Wake You Up

Added: 6/13/2007 6:44:16 AM

If you are lucky to have friends or relatives who wake up earlier - 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 the fact someone give you a wake up call (alarm clock can do it as well). The main thing is that you feel as you have to get up because someone has made an effort to help you and you need to respond. You want to meet their expectations. You don't want that person to think they wasted their time on you and think you're looser. It's like you automatically give them a promise and you have to stand by your words. That is, you have one more solid reason to get up early in the morning.

There are wake up call services available, too, if you fail to find early rising buddies.

I think the person doing this should also come with a jug of ice cold water just in case you refuse to wake up. If this person is someone like your friend, unless you really have the will you might just pull back the covers and go for round two of sleep.

This actually works. I always remind my mom to wake me up at 4am since she always wake up at 3am to cook for my breakfast. But sometimes, mornings are always a drag.

Nice idea... why not involve someone who is already up early? Thus, you include them in your program of getting up early.
