HOW TO WAKE UP EARLY

Prioritise sleep: Do not push your sleep away by making excuses that you have a deadline. Make it a point to sleep at the hour your assigned for sleeping and waking up accordingly at a particular time.

Break the cycle: If you sleep late, you wake up late and this cycle will continue forever. Break the cycle by forcing yourself to sleep at a particular time and then waking up early the next morning.

Have patience: Don’t worry if you fail once. The trick is to keep trying. Your body will take a few days before to get used to a new sleep pattern. You may not be able to get up on the first day but by the end of the week, you will notice your body is adapting to this new cycle.

Avoid afternoon naps: Unless recommended by a doctor, do not take naps in the afternoon as this will mean you will not be sleepy at night and tend to sleep late and wake-up late. Keep yourself engaged in other activities such as a hobby or work to prevent taking your nap.

Create the right environment: Choose something that will be a very calming experience and one that you can repeat every night. Over time, your body will get used to this ritual and will know when it is time to shut down and go to sleep.

Have something to look forward to: Schedule your week so that you have something to look forward to in the morning, even if that something is calling a friend to catch up, or trying out a new place for lunch. This will give you the motivation to wake up early in the morning.
