Tip #2: Go to Bed and Get Up at the Same Time Every Day

It’s a good habit that you must acquire – not just to help you wake up early easier, but also to fall asleep faster. This pairs well with going to bed early.

First, you get more effective sleep for the same period of time if you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

Second, it’s better for your health – your body will handle it more easily if you keep the same circadian rhythm. The human body gets used to your sleeping pattern, and any significant change to this pattern usually results in stress – you cannot fall asleep for a long time, or you have a really hard time getting out of bed.

Finally, once your body gets used to the schedule you’ve selected, it will become much easier for you to get up. You will not even need an alarm clock, and the drowsiness will fade away much faster. Understanding how sleep cycles work helps explain why consistency is so powerful. Admit it, all of us have dreamed of being a superhuman who can wake up at the right time without an alarm clock. And while I still use an alarm clock as a backup, now most of the time I get up just a few minutes before it goes off. Isn’t that great?
