7 Mistakes That Make Getting Up Unnecessarily Difficult

Do you also try to catch up on missed sleep on the weekend? Unfortunately, that’s not a particularly suitable solution. Because this is how we mess up our daily rhythm and do not come to rest well.

Can you think that getting up  in the morning particularly difficult? Here are a few mistakes you can avoid to get out of bed better in the morning.

And if you still don’t feel rested after 8 hours, you might find the reason here.

1. No clear daily rhythm makes it difficult to get up

If you don’t have a clear circadian rhythm, you can have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning.

We should always keep in mind that we are biologically controlled by our internal clock. The body differentiates between phases of rest and activity.

• If we go to bed at different times each day, we break the natural rhythm.

• Drowsiness and exhaustion are the result. This is why you should make sure to go to bed at the same time each day.

2. Spend the weekend in bed

Even if it sounds tempting, you shouldn’t spend the whole weekend in bed.

If you sleep between 5 and 6 hours a night during the week and then spend twice as much time in bed on the weekend, it affects your body’s biorhythm.

• You disturb your sleep. This can lead to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity.
• To avoid this, set an alarm clock on the weekend too!

3. Press Snooze before getting up

There is no point in getting a few more minutes of sleep after the alarm has gone off. The only thing you can do is go back to deep sleep and you’ll feel even more tired afterward.

• Set the alarm clock for the exact time you really need to get up. In this way you also train your willpower.

4. Sleep with light

The retina of the eye is very sensitive to light. When light hits the eye, the production of the hormone melatonin is slowed down. Because this hormone regulates our sleep rhythm, it can lead to sleep disorders.

• Not only natural light, but also an LED lamp on the television or on the cell phone influence the eye. So it is best to turn off all devices in the bedroom completely.

5. Skip breakfast

A good breakfast helps your internal clock on the jumps and makes it easier to get up.

If you wait too long before your first meal in the morning, the levels of cortisol in the blood rise and cause stress in the body.

6. Sweets and carbohydrates

Avoid eating sweets or carbohydrates in the evening before bed. Because these types of foods are not only bad for your weight, but also for your sleep.

• Foods with a high glycemic index increase the levels of cortisol in the blood.

• The effect lasts for about 5 hours. That is why it is better to avoid pizza, cake or potatoes in the evening.

It’s best to replace these foods with yogurt or low-fat meat.

7. A messy bedroom

When your bedroom is cluttered, it constantly reminds you of everything you couldn’t get through that day.

The easy way to avoid this is to leave your bedroom tidy. Fresh linens and a made bed make it easier for you to relax.

Therefore, clean your bedroom regularly and keep it tidy. 

Avoiding these mistakes is easier than you think. Just try it out!

A good night’s sleep and a clear daily rhythm make getting up much easier for you. What are you waiting for? Revolutionize your day.
