We all struggle with low energy in the morning. We always -or most of the time – wake up tired. Even more tired of the night before. After few researches and few changes in my daily habits, I found what works for me.
These changes have really helped me to have more energy in the morning, even having slept few that the average 8 hours.
HOW TO HAVE ENERGY IN THE MORNING
Dehydration
Dehydration is the first reason why we wake up
in the morning feeling week and tired. If our body is well hydrated through the
night we are going to be very energized. So, before going to bed, drink a big
glass of water (room temperature) and
you are going to notice a big difference -other than drinking maximum 2 l of water per day. I also have to say that drinking
more, let me got rid of under eyes circles.

Stop eating Junk food
Don’t get me wrong,I’m not saying that you have to avoid them for all
your entire life –Even though sometimes I really need to eat a big McDonald’s
hamburger, It is like a soul therapy- but you absolutely have to avoid them at
dinner time if the next morning you have the alarm set very early or you have an important day where you have to stay focused and energized. Instead, prefer light meals such as meat + veggies or if you are vegetarian, legumes + veggie
and a bit of carbs (they are not our enemies, you have to eat them but in small
portions).
Look at your sleep cycle.
Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
super energized even if your alarm is in 2 hours? You completed your sleeping
cycle and you body wakes up all by itself. In those cases it is better to stop
sleeping and being in bed because your body is telling you that you had enough
sleep.
It is proved that our sleeping cycle is made up
of three phases.
NREM , REM and then NREM again. All these stages all together last more or
less 3 hours, that is why it is better to sleep at cycles of three ours. It means,
it is better to sleep 6 hours than 8
(because you slept and completed 2 cycles of sleep).

Lets move.
Other than helping you with weight control,
practicing sports or doing workouts really help us sleeping better during
night. But I suggest you to workout in the morning because if you workout right
before or after dinner, your body produces adrenaline, that won’t let us fall
asleep very soon.
Avoid electronic devices.
Even using electronic devices before going to
sleep won’t help you fall asleep very soon. The best would be to avoid them for
1 hour before going to sleep. I personally find very useful to take a bath or
reading a book or focusing on my nigh time beauty routine in this our instead. It
really helps me a lot.
These are my tips, what are yours?
