Tip #1. To Wake Up Early, Go To Bed Early

Added: 6/1/2007 3:20:12 PM

Taking on the goal to wake up early while you keep going to bed after midnight is the way to failure. Not only you become frustrated soon, but it may seriously damage your health. Remember, your body needs time to rest! Going to bed early can be a problem in the beginning, but after you actually start waking up early, then falling asleep in the evening will become much easier. How often you can't fall asleep in the evening on a day when you woke up really late? Many people who have trouble waking up have solved their wake up problems with this simple technique.

The studies also indicated that how much you sleep before midnight is twice as important as the number of hours you sleep after midnight - one more reason to go to bed early.

Take this first step to self-improvement! Keep reading this blog for more tips for waking up and getting out of bed.

Remember that old nursery song?

Go to bed early -- wake up with joy;
Go to bed late -- cross girl or boy.
Go to bed early -- ready for play;
Go to bed late -- moping all day.
Go to bed early -- no pains or ills;
Go to bed late -- doctors and pills.
Go to bed early -- grow very tall.
Go to bed late -- stay very small

I think that is what we called "discipline". I can't understand people hanging out late at night then the next morning complaining how bad is their sleep was...duh!

See, my problem is I love the nighttime. It's so much more exciting than the day. There's so many good T.V. shows and I'm relaxed in my home and I'm not doing anything too stressful. So I enjoy the night much more than the day so that is the root of my problem.

I hate waking up early it is one of my least favorite things to do in the whole world but only when I have to go to work.

For me going to bed early is THE most important factor in sleeping well and waking up early. Whenever I do both, the whole day seems longer, more lively, more energetic.

Why is it so important to wake up early? I am a musician and am playing until midnight or 1 am 4 or 5 nights a week. After playing a four hour gig, it's not really possible to just get home and fall asleep instantly. How is it possible for me to wake up "early"? Do you really have to wake up early to be productive (I really want to be more productive)? Does everyone who is productive never go out to concerts, the opera, or other experiences that take place after their productive bedtimes?

I love getting up early -- but some days I am just dragging. On those days when the alarm goes off, I take a quick shot of an energy drink while I'm still in bed (I like the baby 2 oz ones in the morning). Then, even if I snooze a bit, I'm wide awake in five to 10 minutes. Power to the people who can pop out of bed through sheer willpower -- but try this trick if you need a bit of help!

Hmm. I find it really hard to go to bed early, I mean I can go to bed early and I usually try. When you have someone to sleep with like your girlfriend it makes sleeping more comfortable and easier.

Company can be a big factor in getting or wanting to go to sleep earlier, at least for me it is.

As my grand parent says:

"go to bed early and you wake up early"

Well sometimes, i go to bed earlier and i wake at 7H00AM and if i go to bed at 2H00AM i wake up at 7H00 as well.

I must have an bioalarm inside of me, dont you think ...

Is there some way to stop it?

I'm on day 5 of a theoretical 30 day trial to become an early riser. I'm following pavlina's advice and going to bed when tired (typically between 10 and 10:30), and waking up @ 5.

The latest I've slept in so far is 5:30, and I'm feeling great about the extra time in the morning.

To wake up early, all you need to do is go to sleep early. Easier said than done..

You need 8 hours of sleep per night. If you can work that out, you can set a schedule of your own, but the most important thing that you must remember is that a missed night is recovered in 3 slept nights.

This works great but now I have been waking up everyday at 3:00 am. I have been trying to go to be a little later but I swear every morning at 3 I wake up. And then add another 1/2 hour to fall back asleep. I can't win!
