While it may be impossible for you to get eight hours of sleep every night, there are ways to provide yourself with extra energy in the mornings. Here are six ways experts say you can wake up refreshed in the morning, even if you sleep one hour less than usual:
1) Don’t eat or snack right before you go to bed. That turns on the digestive system and could keep you awake.
2) Make an effort to get no less than six hours of sleep and no more than eight hours every night. Either too little or too much sleep can make you feel tired in the
morning.
3) Don’t go to bed until you are exhausted. That will ensure that you get a deep, restful sleep. And as soon as you are wide awake in the morning, get out of bed.
4) After you get up, exercise for a few minutes to stimulate your body. A ten minute shower should then get rid of whatever weariness remains.
5) Eat a good breakfast, including a high-fiber cereal and fruit. A glass of fruit juice is also a good body energizer.
6) Take five-minute breaks while you’re at work. Divert your attention during these breaks and think of restful things that have nothing to do with work.
