With the first alarm clock: techniques to help you wake up quickly
It’s time to stop putting off waking up for five more minutes.
How we wake up determines how our day goes. In the cold winter, when it gets light late enough, it’s not easy to get yourself up from a warm bed. If we do manage to get up, it can be difficult to wake up fully, to be awake and active. The reasons for this condition may be chronic sleep deprivation, increased nervous excitability, fatigue or blood pressure. Here are some practical tips that will help to wake up quickly and cheer up.
Get up at the first ring of the alarm clock
When you wake up with the first ring of your alarm clock, don’t turn it off to sleep for “five more minutes.” If you do, your body may go into an even deeper phase of sleep and it’s much harder to get up afterward than if you did it right away. In addition, there is a high probability that you will be sleepy and tired all day long.
Turn on the lights
Darkness triggers the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Therefore, to help your body wake up faster, turn on bright lights, do not gather in semi-darkness.
Drink water
Perhaps the most useful tip. Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach, you will not only start all the important metabolic processes of the body, but also help it to wake up and wake up properly. And if you add a slice of lemon to the water, energize it.
About the benefits of such a habit, see the video “Championship”.
Charge
A very small set of exercises will only take five minutes of your time, but can bring your body and muscles to life. Start with stretching, do a twist, then you can squat and do the Jumping Jack exercise. The activity will get more oxygen to your brain and you’ll feel a boost of energy.
Wash your face with cold water
Give yourself a jolt by washing your face with cold, almost ice cold water. The sudden change in temperature will definitely help you feel good. Such washes are also good for your skin – it prevents aging and helps to maintain tone.
Take a contrast shower
A method that is sure to work. Start with a temperature that is comfortable for your body, gradually increasing the difference between hot and cold water. Five minutes will be enough to finally wake up and be ready for a new productive day.
