We are creatures of habit. Having a defined time to wake up is good for our minds and bodies. Get to know how your days are scheduled and find the time that works for you. Of course life throws curves and we are unable to stick to our schedules sometimes, But most days, if we plan to,we can hack a defined time to wake up. Try this, You will thank you later.
Some of us are experts at snoozing. Try not to be over ambitious with your wake up time. That way you are convinced that when the alarm goes off, that’s your time to be up. Besides, snoozing gives such a temporary gratification, and guilt later. If you don’t need an alarm to wake up at a specific time, good for you!
