Instructions

1. The first step may as well be getting to know your body and your sleeping hours along with your sleeping habits.
   
   Everyone who wakes up early definitely needs to know how many hours they are getting.
   
   Bad habits prevent people from waking up or getting lack of sleep. This is bad since it makes you tired, harder to wake up, and you won't feel like doing anything, especially waking up to begin with.

2. The next thing to do is planning. Since you know what your habits are and your hours, arrange your day to fit your needs!
   
   An example is if you have a habit of going to sleep late such as 11PM at night, chances are you will not wake up or in my case, feel extremely drowsy. Eliminating your bad sleeping habits will greatly help you and do a lot for your health.
   
   As said before, plan out when to sleep, when you need to wake up, and how many hours are you getting in-between that time frame.

3. Once you plan these things out, it is time to set them to good use. Follow your schedule plan for a week or more until you get the hang of it. Our brain, believe it or not, has its own inner clock system. Have you ever woke up like minutes, or even on the dot, before your alarm clock will set off? This is our brain setting its own alarm that signals the body to wake up.
   
   It is really interesting, therefore we need to make it so that our brains will get use to waking up at a given time which is what the week is for.
   
   Side note: Sleeping pills are sometimes good ways to go to sleep if you find yourself have difficulty. They aren't the best way but that's what they were made for.

4. Now that we got the inner clock on its course, it's time for Tips and Tricks!

5. This one works really well. It only works if you are pretty awake but not fully awake. It happens but even though we wake up from our sleep, it isn't impossible to fall back asleep! This is one of the worse things that could happen. That is why this trick is helpful.
   
   When you wake up, look straight up. As you look up, stretch your arms and legs and every muscle you can. I like gently twisting my hips and making cracking noises. (Sorry to those who think that is disgusting)
   
   Now the important thing is to get up and OPEN your lights. At this point it doesn't matter if you get back to your bed.

6. Stretching helps loosen your muscle and tension up. This makes you more relax and calm. It helps in waking up.
   
   Now the lights is to prevent you from falling back asleep. Most people think it's hard to sleep with lights on, like when sun shines upon your face and you wake up.
   
   You can lay in bed and relax for awhile but remember not to long since you might be late.

7. WARM showers vs COLD showers.
   
   Warm showers are to help you relax and having water hitting your face is a great way to start the day. Cold showers, ehh, it does help in waking you up real fast. This is because you feel the cold water which will make you uncomfortable.
   
   Cold showers will wake you up faster than warm showers in most cases.

8. When you were young, did you ever have your mom/dad or a sibling wake you up when you sleep? Now that your older, this is why people use alarm clocks. It is to help you know when to wake up. Alarm clocks are like last resort things. If you miss the alarm, you're screwed.
   
   That is why waking habits and inner clock system is more effective than what an alarm clock will do. Its more helpful in the long run.
