The quality of every morning of your life is crucially reliant on the quality of the previous night. You will not wake up feeling refreshed and rested if you go to sleep at four in the morning. You will struggle to wake up early if you do not plan to wake up early the previous night. You must think ahead and prepare to wake up early, meaning that you must begin your night routine significantly sooner than you usually do. For example, if you normally begin to brush your teeth around 10:30 PM, try brushing at 10 PM, you do not need to commit to doing this every single day, see how you go.
A crucial aspect of repairing your sleep schedule is understanding the relationship your morning has with your nights. In other words, if you spend effort on improving the quality of your night routine, then you will see improvements in the quality of your mornings. You will wake up easier and more refreshed. Below are a few things you can start doing to improve the quality of your night.
Buy a fan to cool your room.
Make sure your mattress is in great condition.
Try listening to rain sounds on Spotify to help you drift away.
A quick 15-second stretch before you climb into bed.
Scrolling & Bedtime
Most of us have a scrolling issue when we are in bed. I personally think that there is nothing wrong with it as long as the phone is out of my hand after a certain point. If you feel the same way but have trouble putting your phone down, or you lose track of time (happened to me many times) try this: Go to bed earlier with the intention of scrolling on your phone. So now your sleeping routine will not suffer because you are scrolling past your bedtime. After all, you have planned for the eventuality that is scrolling.
The main takeaway from this week's entry is that you need to begin linking the quality of your mornings to the quality of your evenings; it is all one big circle. Look after your nights so that you can look after your mornings and as a result, improve your life.
