Whether you can’t stop hitting snooze, ignore the clock altogether or even throw things at it, most of us have had that classic morning experience of battling our alarm clocks. While it may seem like an impossible task, our brains and bodies can often be trained to wake up to just one alarm. And when that back and forth gets cut from your morning, you may find yourself feeling better throughout the day.
Starting off with a stressful morning isn’t the most relaxing way to kick off a good day, anyway. One of the first and most essential steps to waking up to your first alarm is to prepare your mind and body for a good night’s sleep the night before. An abundance of variables can impact the quality of your sleep and how you feel in the morning. Some of the most well-known and important tips include limiting screen time hours before bed, keeping your bedroom free from noise and light, making sure your bed and bedding are comfortable, avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bedtime and steering clear of melatonin aids, as they can sometimes leave you groggy in the morning.
It’s also important to properly wind down before bedtime. This can include doing some simple yoga poses, reading on the couch or sipping herbal tea. And don’t lie down in bed to relax or scroll on your phone throughout the day; try to only use it for sleep or intimacy. This mix of strategies and habits can help you get enough high-quality sleep, making waking up to just one alarm feel less like a chore or challenge.
