Waking up can be a challenge, especially if you don’t consider yourself a morning person — but, humans are creatures of habit, which means you can train your body to wake up earlier. From following a sleep schedule to turning off electronics before bedtime, here are some things you can try to improve your sleep and, consequently, make waking up a little bit easier.

Stick to a Sleep Schedule

You can train your body to fall asleep and wake up easier by following a regular sleep schedule. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every single day — even on the weekends. If you’re struggling to get out of bed when you want to wake up in the mornings, start by getting up a little later and push that time back by 15 minutes every week until you get to your ideal wake-up time. Just make sure you’re getting seven to nine hours of sleep each night.

Limit Electronics Before Bed

Exposure to blue light waves, which come from electronic screens on televisions, computers, tablets, and cell phones, can make it difficult for you to fall asleep and stay asleep. If you aren’t sleeping well and waking up refreshed, consider turning off all of your electronic devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Instead, do something relaxing, like journaling or reading. If you think you’ll be tempted to scroll instead of sleep, try charging your phone outside of the bedroom.

Try a New Alarm Clock

One way to force yourself out of bed in the morning is to keep your alarm clock on the other side of the room. This way, you won’t be tempted to press snooze over and over again. If that particular trick doesn’t work for you, a wake-up light alarm clock — also known as a sunrise alarm clock — might. Instead of waking you up with sound, this type of alarm clock uses light to ease you awake over the course of about 30 minutes. Some options, like the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light, have a backup alarm in case the light isn’t enough to rouse you.
