To some, there is nothing worse than having to wake up each and every morning and hoping straight into the water. They would much rather sleep until noon and then begin the day in the afternoon. Yep, this sounds about right. Unfortunately, it just has to be done. Here are ways to help!

Pack your things. If you have to rise early, it is best to prepare your things the night before. This way everything will be ready for you to just grab and leave! Because everything will be ready, you will save time AKA sleep longer.

Prep breakfast. In order to save more time in the early mornings, make sure to have your breakfast prepared and ready. You will thank yourself later when you can sleep longer and not dirty 5 things for breakfast each day.

Hydrate. By drinking 16oz of water immediately upon waking, it’s a surefire way to you rev up your metabolism. Not only that but it also re-hydrates you after fasting and helps flush out any toxins.
Log Off. Before hitting the sheets the night before an early day, refrain from using devices such as cell phone, tablet, or even watching TV. Electrical activity increase resulting in our neurons to race, making it more difficult to fall asleep. Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow.
