If you don't like the way you spend the mornings,change it! This may be a contributing factor to you suffering to get out of the bed refreshed. The problem of waking up without getting up is very common. A good morning routine can help remedy that. It's important to have something to look forward to that makes you eager to get out of bed.

 

My usual morning routine is pretty simple, but it works wonders for me. After I get up, I have a tall glass of water and put on my gym clothes. Then I head for the gym, do my one hour workout, head back home, shower, and dress. After that I'll usually talk to my girlfriend, then I will make a decent breakfast for myself..

 

The thing is, I like going to the gym, so it serves as a good reason to get out of bed. I know that exercising will leave me feeling even more energized for the rest of the day when I am consulting on internet dating advice with clients.

 

Your morning ritual is a wonderful area of your life for experimentation. Some people like getting up and working on a home-based business for an hour or two. Others like to meditate first thing in the morning. In this particular area, the rule is to do whatever works for you. What works is what you enjoy, and what gets you energized for the rest of the day. If playing your favorite video game for an hour every morning might help motivate you to get out of bed early, try it for a few days and see how it goes.

 

If your morning routine ever becomes boring, change it. Any effective routine may eventually stop working for you. Do whatever is necessary to keep it interesting.

 

What about an evening routine? It's common advice that having a relaxing routine for winding down before bed will improve your sleep. For me it doesn't seem to make much difference. I can enjoy a lot of variety and activity in my evenings, and I still sleep just fine and wake up alert. A stable evening routine can help compensate for a stressful lifestyle, but otherwise I don't think it's that important. Feel free to experiment with an evening shutdown process to see what works best for you.
