The temptation to hit the snooze button gets more and more at this time of year. After all, we all want more time to stay in bed. Allowing yourself to hit snooze (or setting multiple alarms) is a very bad idea because it gets your brain used to the fact that your alarm doesn’t really mean you have to get up, but rather that it’s time to go back to sleep again before the next alarm Repeatedly pressing snooze disrupts the quality of your sleep too, as it ruins the quality of your sleep through the consistent interruptions and awakenings Put the alarm clock slightly away from your bed so that you need to get out of bed to switch it off A sunrise alarm helps gently reset your body’s natural rhythm To make waking up easier, try adding some small, enjoyable routines to your morning – such as sipping a warm lemon tea or stepping outside for a few minutes to breathe in fresh air It not only gives you all the amazing benefits of mindfulness but it also regulates your cortisol release, allowing your nervous system time to wake up gently which will help mitigate morning grogginess
