You hit the snooze button and, ultimately, only drag yourself out of bed because there\u2019s somewhere you must be or someone you must answer to.&nbsp;No one invites you to gives talks on how to wake up with energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>what you\u2019re doing when you hit the snooze button is resisting your life<\/strong>, your day, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/control-your-thoughts\/\">creating the life you want<\/a>. By starting your day with resistance, you perpetuate a negative cycle:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You wake up discouraged and depressed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You spend your day feeling the same way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You go to sleep again feeling anxious and depressed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cycle repeats itself the next day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change this, like many famous and successful early risers, such as Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Tony Robbins, Howard Schultz, Albert Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin. You can change your life by establishing the conscious intent to wake up each morning with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/true-desires\/\">genuine desire<\/a> to do so. You can learn how to wake up with energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-sleep-is-really-enough\"><strong>How Much Sleep Is Really Enough?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts say the amount of sleep needed varies by individual. How much you need depends on such factors as your age, health, and how much exercise you get. While you may function well on five hours of sleep, someone else may need more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some research suggests that getting too much sleep can actually be as detrimental as too little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one study, sleeping more than nine hours a night was associated with illness and mortality. A greater amount of sleep was also associated with depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all answer, the advice that follows stems from Elrod\u2019s experience, study, and experimentation with sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-wake-up-with-energy\"><strong>How to Wake Up With Energy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How tired you feel when you wake up may have less to do with how much sleep you got than with how much sleep you <em>believe<\/em> you need. <strong>What you tell yourself when you go to bed significantly affects how you feel when you wake up<\/strong>. For example, if you believe you need eight hours, but will be getting only six on a given night, you\u2019ll probably tell yourself that you\u2019re going to feel tired in the morning\u2014and you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accepting-responsibility\/\">Taking responsibility<\/a> for every aspect of your life includes using the power of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/science\/psychology\/the-mind-body-connection\/\">mind-body connection<\/a> to wake up feeling good regardless of the amount of sleep you get. Elrod experimented with different amounts of sleep while telling himself he would feel either exhausted or energized. When he told himself he\u2019d feel exhausted on four, five, or six hours of sleep, he felt exhausted on each of those amounts. The converse was true when he told himself he\u2019d feel energized, using the affirmation: \u201cI believe I create my experience of reality, and I choose to create the reality of waking up tomorrow feeling energized\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real secret to waking up feeling energized and excited is to make each morning feel like Christmas morning felt as a kid. Now, that&#8217;s how to wake up with energy! The Miracle Morning wake-up routine creates this experience by giving you purpose and excitement around developing into the person capable of creating the life of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-increasing-your-wake-up-motivation\"><strong>Increasing Your Wake-Up Motivation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On a scale of 1 to10, most people\u2019s motivation level for waking up starts at a 1 or a 2. However, you can make waking up easier by gradually increasing your \u201cwake-up motivation level\u201d with a series of simple \u201csnooze-proof\u201d steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> <strong>Establish your intentions before going to sleep<\/strong>: Your first thought when you wake usually is the last thought you had before falling asleep. For example, if you fall asleep excited about going on vacation the next day, you wake up excited about vacation. Before falling asleep, use affirmation to establish a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-have-a-positive-mindset\/\">positive mindset<\/a> and expectation for the next morning, such as: \u201cNo matter how overwhelmed I am right now or how long it takes to fall asleep, I will spring out of bed with energy tomorrow at 5 a.m. to create the life I want and deserve. I <em>know<\/em> how to wake up with energy, and I <em>will<\/em> do it in the morning.\u201d You can find a more detailed bedtime affirmation on the Miracle Morning website. Download Elrod\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miraclemorning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8m71di6m7s1h2f46m4p9.pdf\">four bedtime affirmations here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> <strong>Move your alarm clock across the room<\/strong>: Move your alarm clock as far from your bed as possible, so you have to get up and move when it goes off. Movement requires energy, which helps you wake up. Further, getting up counters the temptation to simply reach for the snooze button and go back to sleep. Getting up to turn off your alarm clock will raise your motivation level a notch or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> <strong>Brush your teeth<\/strong>: To keep moving, go to the bathroom sink and splash some water on your face and brush your teeth. This will raise your wake-up motivation level a bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> <strong>Drink a full glass of water<\/strong>: After six to eight hours without water overnight, you\u2019ll be dehydrated\u2014dehydration causes fatigue (when people feel tired, they\u2019re often dehydrated), so rehydration should restore energy. Fill up your glass the night before, so it\u2019s ready. Drink it as quickly as feels comfortable. This will boost your wake-up motivation level to at least a 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5)<\/strong> <strong>Get dressed in your workout clothes<\/strong>. Get dressed so you\u2019re ready to leave your bedroom and start your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-miracle-morning-routine\/\">Miracle Morning routine<\/a>. While some people prefer to shower first, Elrod recommends saving your shower as a reward for completing the routine. Now, your motivation level should be a 6 or better. These five steps take only about five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-wake-up-tips\"><strong>Additional Wake-Up Tips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people have found these additional steps to be helpful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set a timer for your bedroom lights<\/strong>. You may want to set your lights to come on as your alarm goes off. Turning lights off tells your mind and body to go to sleep, while turning lights on tells you to wake up. If you don\u2019t use a timer, be sure to turn on your bedroom lights when you get up to turn off your alarm in the morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set a timer for a bedroom heater.<\/strong> Consider using a heater in your bedroom, timed to turn on about fifteen minutes before your wake up time. When your room is warm, you\u2019ll be less tempted to stay in bed to avoid the cold.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do whatever works for you. The key is to have a simple, step-by-step strategy to get you started every morning. Now you can have confidence that you know how to wake up with energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you wonder how to wake up with energy each morning?
