As we wake up we all want to start our day with a great day. Less of drama and more of positivity. So, today in this article we will be sharing you some information like what actions you need to follow that will prevent us from starting the day well.

7 Actions That Prevent Us From Starting the Day Well.

1. Slaying and Snopping, Again and Again, the Alarm Alarm.

The alarm goes off, but you convince yourself that you actually still have a little time left. Then you hit the snooze button, roll over in bed, and go back to sleep. Some use the snooze function two or three times.

Even if the few minutes of extra sleep feels good to you, this type of sleep has a negative effect, making you feel even more tired when you finally get out of bed. This is because the sleep-wake cycle is interrupted. If you go back to sleep after the first alarm, the body begins a new sleep cycle and releases hormones that initiate a deep sleep phase.

The second alarm interrupts this process, which confuses the body. The result is that you feel sleepy and exhausted, and this feeling can last for several hours.

To avoid being tired all morning, you should avoid continuing to sleep when the alarm clock rings and get up right away.

2. Pick Up Your Phone and Start Checking.

Waking up in the morning and checking emails, WhatsApp or the news is not a good idea. The news mainly reports on catastrophes and controversies, and studies have shown that social media can worsen mood .

checking phone

Saving yourself “digital stress” in the morning is the best gift you can give yourself. To avoid the temptation to look at your phone, you can turn it off or put it in airplane mode, so you won’t be able to browse the web and you won’t receive any notifications.

3. ‘Roadrunner’ Complex.

In the morning, every extra minute in bed is precious, but you should still set your alarm a little earlier. The later you get up, the less time you will have to shower, eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready, and you will already be stressed in the morning.

So get up earlier, take some time for yourself. Sip a cup of tea quietly, meditate or do yoga before starting your daily tasks and routines.

4.Keep the House Like a Cave.

When it’s dark, the body releases the sleep hormone melatonin and we get tired. Light does the opposite, inhibiting the release of the hormone and waking you up.

Don’t leave blinds and curtains closed in the morning. Open them and take advantage of this light effect as soon as possible.

If the day is dark, a daylight lamp or a lighted alarm clock can help.

5. Coffee Now.

For many, a cup of coffee is part of waking up. However, you shouldn’t have your first coffee until a little later in the morning. The reason is that shortly after you wake up, the body produces more cortisol, the stimulating hormone, also known as the stress hormone.

At this point you don’t need an artificial stimulant like caffeine. If you drink it, you develop a tolerance to coffee, its effect is reduced. It is best to wait at least an hour after waking up before having your first coffee.

6. Too Much Sugar.

Breakfast should be as healthy as the rest of the meals of the day. However, many people allow themselves to eat breakfasts that are too simple or sweet (bread with cocoa cream, industrial pastries, refined bread with cold cuts, sweetened cereals, etc.), giving the body a ‘sugar rush’ that will have its rebound effect after a while. hours, feeling fatigue or lack of energy. 

Better options are oat muesli, nuts and vegetable milk, whole fruit, rye bread with avocado , etc.

7. Wash Your Mouth as Soon as You Want to Get Up.

To get rid of unpleasant mouth odor, many people brush their teeth as soon as they wake up. However, it is more important to brush your teeth after eating.

During breakfast, new food debris can accumulate on the teeth, so brushing your teeth before breakfast does not make sense. If you wake up with a bad taste, you can rinse your mouth with water or a natural mouthwash.

We hope that these ideas help you reflect on your own morning habits and see if you are falling into them without realizing it. We encourage you to try a change and see what happens… Tell us your experience!
