You’re in the middle of a great dream, and then suddenly an annoying, loud sound comes from nowhere to wake you up. I hate the process of waking up–regardless of what time it is. Set an alarm you’re happy to wake up to.I’m only 25, so hopefully I have quite a few more years ahead of me, but there’s no reason to not start living each day to it’s fullest. But now, waking up and mornings are different for me- every time my alarm rings I focus on the fact that it’s a new day with new opportunities. It was easy for me to hit snooze because my morning mind was focused on returning back to my warm, welcoming bed. One of the most important steps for me was changing my mindset about waking up. 12 Tips to Stop Hitting Snooze and Wake Up Early I tried to link to the original sources I learned each tip from, where I could remember. The 12 step intervention plan I used is below. To do so, I had to combine all the tips and tricks that I’ve learned and read about through the years (trust me, I’ve done a lot of research on this). I’ll admit that I have days (and sometimes a week) where I “relapse” into hitting snooze, and if I told you that I love every minute of 6am, I’d be a liar–but, I have become an “early-riser.” For the past year, I’ve been waking up early by not hitting snooze. But if I can get up as soon as the alarm clock goes off the first time, then it doesn’t matter for what time I set the alarm.Īnd it’s worked. But what happens if I need to start waking up at 5am, or decide to get up at 8am? If I only learned to wake up exactly at 6am, hitting snooze or otherwise, then changing the wake up time is an added challenge. Right now the desired time is 6am–so I set my alarm for 6am and I’m good to go. Do I just start setting my alarm for 5am so I can hit snooze for an hour and wake up at 6am, or do I learn to stop hitting snooze and wake up on the first ring of the alarm? I realized I would rather be able to wake up for the time I set on my alarm.īy learning the discipline of waking up the first time the alarm rings, I can change when it is I want to wake up. My first decision when wanting to wake up early was around the snooze button. By applying a number of tips and tricks from various sources, and having a sense of humor about the morning hours, I was able to get up early and ween myself off the snooze button. Last year, I decided I had had enough of the snooze button. It seemed that every morning I would hit the snooze button 6 or 7 times, wasting an hour of productivity (or at least uninterrupted sleep).

One of my biggest challenges since graduating college has been learning how to sop hitting snooze and how to wake up early.
