Re-organize your bed time schedule after long vacation

After a long vacation and crazy summer, obviously your bed time schedule is in horrible mess. Because waking up early means a horrific torture, you feel like zombie and your head is full of wet sand, especially when schools/universities are back. Are you tired of those restless night? Do you want to effectively wake up early and become more of a morning person?

To leave your bad habits under the bed, follow these simple steps.

1- start a nighttime routine 
like: showering, drinking warm milk, listening to classical music, or doing relaxing exercises such as yoga, and if you’re reading, make sure to read without any bright lights.

2- Sleeping enough will help you wake up earlier :

·8 to 9 hours of sleep for women

·7 to 9 hours of sleep for men.

3- Sleep with the curtains half-open: 
You know how we just said light keeps you awake? The natural sunlight will be perceived by your body, even when you're asleep.

4- Put your alarm clock away from your bed
When it's out of reach, you're forced to get out of bed. Putting it next to your bed is just a temptation to hit the snooze button and fall back to sleep.

5- Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks at night 
It will keep your body awake and ultimately cause insomnia. Limit your daily consumption to less than 500 mg per day.

6- Go to bed right when you start feeling tired 
The best time to go to bed is when you can't stop yawning and feel the need to just close your eyes and lay your head down.

7 Subtract 8 hours from the time you wake up
Determine how long it actually takes you to fall asleep.
