I found though that immediately turning on music, either something loud or the Preston & Steve show on WMMR, helps get my brain (and body!) moving. I lay in bed for a little bit, just listening to whatever I've put on, and plan my day out in my head. It's less of a tease than hitting snooze and gives you time to situate your mind before stumbling into the shower and running out the door. Great article, Mike!!

I have incorporated many of those things into my life as well. I also make sure to have a few moments of quiet time or meditation - not to plan my day or rework an argument in my mind, but to simply not think, just sit, just listen, just be calm. It does wonders. I have also read not to do exercise within 30 minutes of getting up because your body literally isn't prepared for it - muscles and tendons have to warm up, brain and body have to feel connected, etc. Light exercise or stretching after that is awesome, totally makes you feel alive and good in your skin. Don't read or watch tv while you eat breakfast. Just enjoy and be grateful for the food - multi-tasking just adds tension to your meal and doesn't help digestion. Another thing I have chosen to step off of is the freeway - I'd rather not be stressed from the morning rush hour, and just go through town. It adds a few minutes but nothing significant enough to make you late, and you don't arrive at work frazzled. I love morning - it's quiet, the light is cool, you hear birds chirping. I used to be a total night owl, too, but now that it's reversed, all these tips make getting up much easier and personally energizing. Thanks again, Mike. Great article, Mike!

I have another one! If your like me and have the luxury of a late morning start, eat a banana and get outside for a little exercise. This doesn't have to be anything major, a walk or easy bike ride will do. Eat a banana before you go and you'll have more energy throughout the day as well as an easier time falling asleep at night, meaning more quality sleep time once you do pass out! Oh!
