You’re not a morning person. How can you become one?

Adjusting one's bedtime is key to becoming a morning person (if that's what you want to work towards). Because if you sleep earlier, you tend to wake up earlier. And everyone knows we feel most awake and fresh right after you wake up. Another important thing to note is to plan your day the night before. ??♀? If you want to go for a run, lay your running gear out the night before. ?? If you want to start the day with some journalling. Get your journal and pen out the night before. There's just a higher possibility of you doing it if you plan the night before.

To transform into a morning person, recalibrate your bedtime gradually. Aim for a consistent sleep schedule, ensuring you get sufficient rest.

While at it, it is important to first ask yourself if a morning person is something you want to be, that is, what are your motivations.

I am a night owl. However, on days that I have early morning, I definitely will adjust my bedtime. I eat my dinner early and start winding up early too - no screen time unless necessary. This has to be a gradual and intentional shift in your routine by waking up a little earlier each day.

I’m definitely proof you can go from being a night owl to an early bird. A good evening routine can be vital the to a successful productive & purposeful morning. In my experience, that’s going from someone who got out of bed at 7.45 to getting out of bed now at 5.45 with no snooze button, it’s a simple case of getting up that little bit earlier each week using some of the tools below. With time, I naturally want to go to bed earlier because I get up so early however it certainly didn’t start out that way.

Trouver une motivation solide pour sortir du lit. Que ce soit un objectif à atteindre, un projet passionnant, une activité physique ou un moment de méditation, il est important de définir ce qui vous pousse à démarrer la journée. Planifiez à l'avance et notez vos intentions pour le lendemain. Gardez cette note bien en vue pour vous rappeler pourquoi il vaut mieux résister à la tentation de sommeiller davantage. Cette préparation mentale est la clé pour transformer vos matinées et embrasser pleinement votre journée dès le premier rayon de soleil.

To become a morning person, devise a structured morning routine. Set an early wake-up time and stick to it consistently.

Prioritize consistency and perseverance to cultivate this habit.

I would say plan the night ahead. Have a clear outline of what you need to do from the time you wake up. And don't snooze the alarm. Get up and make the bed. This discourages you from going back.

I am an accountability coach & believe me there is no way I would get up at 5.45am without a class booked. I commit to this class 4 mornings, it starts at 6.15 & after I go for a walk. One of my fundamental habits is moving with joy & I ensue I have done this by 7.45 most mornings. If a class isn’t your thing, then arrange a walk with a friend or maybe a call. Use something to inspire you each morning. An early morning is what you make it & it’s as early as is convenient for you.

I totally agree with this because some mornings I do not get out of bed because I know my body needs the rest. You have to listen to your body with regards sleep and as a women we especially need to listen at a variety of times during our monthly phases. Pay particular attention during your luteal phase usually from day 16 on of our cycle (everyone is different) we do have less energy. We need to take care of ourselves. That starts with giving out mind & body a break.

Becoming a morning person starts with mindset: embrace the quiet, productive hours. Gradually adjust sleep schedule, ensuring 7-9 hours nightly. Create a morning routine with activities you enjoy. Set goals for the day to motivate waking up. Optimize environment for waking up refreshed. Embrace the benefits: heightened productivity, tranquility, and a head start on the day.

Honestly, I never thought I would go from becoming a committed night out to a sprightly earlybird, but I did and you can to. It really is about - listening to your own body - doing what is right for you - starting slow - finding something that holds you accountable - being purposeful with your morning so assigning tasks, self-care, joy for you Within the 2 hours for me every morning, I attend my class, I go for my walk and I have breakfast with my two children. This is the purpose of my morning and I am able to start my day at 8:30 knowing that I’ve already moved my body & spent quality time with the kids. I feel good about the rest of the day.

To be honest, I've never been much of a morning person, and I often find my focus peaks at night. However, I've come to realize that waking up early allows me enough time to tackle personal tasks that often get sidelined amidst the hustle of the workday. Therefore, I've found it beneficial to prepare a journal in advance for the following day. This way, I can maximize productivity and ensure I make the most of both morning and night.

To transform into a morning person, start by adjusting your sleep schedule gradually, aiming for consistent bedtime and wake-up times. Create a calming bedtime routine and optimize your sleep environment. Prioritize morning activities you enjoy, such as exercise or a nutritious breakfast. Embrace natural light exposure upon waking to regulate your circadian rhythm.

[food for thought] Why should you strive to become a morning person? People are inherently different, some thriving in the early hours and others preferring the night. It's not a one-size-fits-all scenario. If the argument is that work traditionally begins between 6-9 am, let's remember that this notion dates back to the industrial era. The 18th century UK had “6-to-6” work time and the 19th century US introduced “9-to-5“ which went mainstream by Henry Ford in the 1920s. Seems a bit outdated, doesn't it? So instead of sticking to these historical norms and imposing rigid systems perhaps organisations should reconsider their structures to embrace and leverage diversity for increased productivity.
