If you’re looking for ways to become an early riser, you may be stuck in a cycle of late nights and lie-ins, perhaps missing half of the day or rushing around and being late for work in the morning. It won’t be an easy cycle to break, but it’s well worth doing for your health and well-being. Here are 7 ways to become an early riser that could help you to improve your life.

1. Get up Early… However Painful It is
If you’re looking for ways to become an early riser, breaking the bad routine is essential. You probably can’t break it by just going to bed earlier as you won’t be ready for sleep, so you’re going to have to bite the bullet and get up at the time you aspire to, even if you’ve not had enough sleep. You’ll be ready for bed at a reasonable time then, and can break the cycle.
2. Reward Yourself for Getting up
To start with, getting up early is going to be hard. So reward yourself for your effort with something you will enjoy. Perhaps a special breakfast you wouldn’t normally have, or just sitting and reading or listening to the radio before you head off to work.
3. Invite the Light in
If plenty of natural light can come into your bedroom in the morning, you’ll start to wake up naturally before your alarm (certainly in the summer at least). Ditch the blackout curtains unless they’re desperately needed to block artificial light out at night.
4. Have a Good Breakfast
Even if you manage to get up early, you may feel really groggy and not ready to face the day. Getting a good breakfast packed with protein is one of the best ways to become an early riser as it will get you going in the morning. You need a protein, fruit or vegetable and a wholegrain. Think scrambled eggs with mushrooms and tomatoes on wholegrain toast or natural yoghurt with muesli and fresh fruit.
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
5. Exercise in the Morning
Too many people make the mistake of exercising too soon before they go to sleep at night. It will be impossible for you to wind down for sleep when your heart rate and body temperature have been raised and you’re pumped full of adrenaline. Plus, if you exercise first thing, you’ll get a huge energy boost ready for the day ahead.

6. Create the Right Atmosphere for Sleep in the Evening
You can’t become an early riser if you don’t get enough sleep, and our ability to sleep at night is being affected by staring at screens all evening. Turn off the television, turn off bright lights and go for a dimmer lamp and pick up a book instead.
7. Set Aside an Hour for Winding down before Sleep
It’s well worth setting aside a full hour for you to wind down and relax. Make sure the television is off an hour before you want to go to bed. Take a bath, listen to some gentle music and perhaps meditate or try some relaxation techniques. Don’t eat anything, drink anything caffeinated or sugary or do any exercise.
Are you an early riser or a night owl? Do you have any tips for getting up early that may be helpful to others?

Fabulousness: I have a tip,watch Danisnotonfire How To Get Out Of Bed...u will thank me later
Eliska: I use an app I bought off the app store called Sleep Cycle alarm clock. It has literally saved my life. It is able to tell what sleep phase you're in (deep sleep, light sleep) and it will wake you up between a 30 minute window ending at your set alarm depending on what phase you're in, so it'll make sure you won't wake up in the middle of a deep sleep. It also has really calming alarm music, and it has made my mornings so much better and stress-free. Plus, I don't feel completely and utterly tired during the day anymore !
Linnea: My tip is to make a sandwich before you go to bed and put it in the fridge. It will not only save you some time but also if you don't have the appetite in the morning you can just bring that sandwich to work
Shelly: As a major night owl and an up all night sleep all day kinda gal; I needed this. Going to give it a whirl tonight.
Jill: I needed this advice desperately! My sleep schedule is HORRIBLE, and I work two jobs, one is day shift, the other is evenings, and it's so hard to wake up early for the day job when I can't go to sleep at night.
Vonnieshaw: Nice hot shower and a stress relieving body cream will help... Good luck
Maddy: I hate waking up late !! This might help
