To be a early bird

 Get up before dawn is a good habit that will help your health, wealth and wisdom .- & mdash ; Aristotle

triphosgene early, up late three panic .-- Chinese proverb

the habit of getting up early is born or develop it? on me, it is clear is to develop the day after tomorrow. In my 20 years of age, I rarely go to bed before midnight, almost always sleep late, I usually slept until the evening to get up every day.

but later period of time success and I can not continue to ignore the close link between early, especially in me to see this. In my early days of those rare, I realized that my productivity not only in the morning, and is very high all day. and in doing so I felt very good, I decided to develop the good habit of getting up early, then immediately transferred to the 5:00 alarm clock ... ... ...

... ... .. The next morning, In almost noon when I get up.

Hmmm ... ... ...

I had tried many times, basically every time waking up at that time. I began to wonder My body is not carrying the early gene. Every time my alarm goes off, my first reaction always want to turn it off and then go back to sleep. I kept this habit a few years, but eventually I came found several articles on sleep research, they make me realize that I had this issue wrong. as long as I can get these studies the method is applied to my own body, I can get up early to develop a lasting habits.

difficult to use the wrong strategy you develop the habit of getting up early, but the correct use of these strategies are relatively much easier.

most common wrong strategy is: do you think If you want to get up early, you better go early to bed. so you would calculate your sleep now generally a few hours a day, and then calculated on the basis of need to back the new move for several hours. For example, now you from midnight (night 12) slept 8 am, and you predict if you sleep at 10 pm, then the next day you can wake up at 6:00. sounds very reasonable, but it will usually fail.

sleep mode current on the two main schools. One school of thought that you should go to bed on time every day, and get up in time. just like in these two moments have a alarm clock - you trying to fall asleep every night the same time. It looks as if adapted to the rhythm of modern society, we need to have an accurate schedule table, and to ensure adequate rest every day.

another school think you should be based on the needs of the body, go to rest when tired, sleep in till noon to get up. This approach is rooted in biology said that our bodies know how much sleep we need, so we should obey their commands. < br>
through the test,UGG boots cheap, I found two for me is not the best sleep mode. If you value your productivity, then they are wrong, the following is the reason I say this:

fixed if your sleep, then sometimes you may not be trapped going to sleep. If you need to spend more than 5 minutes to be able to sleep,UGG boots clearance, then it means you are not sleepy. You lie awake waste of time in bed, but can not sleep. Another problem is that every day you think you need the same amount of sleep time, this is a wrong assumption. your sleep time should be based on a different day, different circumstances. (translation by: I think there will be a problem, for example, every day you say you need 8 hours of sleep enough, but you sometimes wake up the morning will advance, but this time you tell yourself: In sleep a bar. According to the body's need to sleep, your sleep is likely to be more than you actually need to sleep - in most cases will exceed the number, for example, would exceed 10-15 hours per week (which is equivalent to a full awake one day). Many people in this way rest time each night to rest more than 8 hours, this is usually too much. And, if every morning you get up at different times, then every day you difficult to predict the time to get up. because sometimes we lose the rhythm of life (Translator: For example, the weekend of college students, usually go to sleep until after 3 o'clock, and 12 are basically normal sleep, which would disrupt the pace of life), you may find that your sleep becomes erratic.

get the best solution is to combine the two. method is very simple, many people get up early in the consciously or unconsciously, Using this method, though this, for me it was a huge psychological breakthrough. for solutions is the time when I felt sleepy and went to bed (only when I feel sleepy) and then fixed in a day time (seven days a week) to set the alarm, rang to get up immediately. so I'm always in the same time every day (I set a 5 am) to get up, but the time I go to bed every night different.

really sleepy when I will when I go to bed. I sleep the way the test is: If I can not read a book uninterrupted one or two pages, I will prepare to go to sleep was. In most cases when I go to bed, I will fall asleep in three minutes. I lie down comfortably, and then immediately fell asleep. Sometimes I will 21:30 to go to bed, and there when I will have to go to sleep until 12 o'clock midnight, the usual situation is that I am 10 pm to 11 points to go to bed. If I have been sleepy, I would have been so busy I can not open my eyes before going to sleep. In this period of time, reading is a good choice, because when I was sleepy, and when it can not be read, it is usually obvious, I will immediately go to bed.

when my alarm clock every morning ring, I will turn it off, a long lazy stretch waist, then sat up. I do not want anything at this time, because I know, I rely on the longer in bed, I went on the possibility of sleep greater. So when the alarm rang, and I will not allow me to think of the benefits go to sleep. Even if I wanted to go to sleep, I usually will get up immediately.

adhering to this model After some time, I found that my sleep patterns gradually become a rhythm. If I sleep the night before the time is not sufficient, the next night I would naturally go to bed early to get enough sleep. and if my energy is strong, do not feel tired at all, I would sleep less. My body learned when to wake me up, because it knows that I usually get up every day at that time.

this do a very good effect, I mean less time to sleep every night for 90 minutes, but I feel more relaxed, I think this is mainly because of the time I'm basically in bed in sleep.

I learned that such a situation, people who sleep are those clearly do not have to go to bed sleepy people. If you're not sleepy, and you find yourself unable to fall asleep immediately, then immediately, making you keep a clear mind period of time. has been to wait until your body begins to secrete hormones, your mind started to become fuzzy, you go to sleep. If you can when you go to bed sleepy, at a fixed time every morning, your insomnia will be died of self-healing. The first night you may have to stay late, but you will fall asleep immediately after going to bed. You may be a few hours sleep a night since the early in the day when the (relatively early) was tired, but after a busy day, you will want to go to bed earlier the next night. After a while, you will be able to develop every night probably go to bed at a certain time, and quickly go to sleep habits.

So get up early if you want to be a person (or just want more control over your sleep patterns), then try to do it: only when you are too sleepy and can not continue to do so only to sleep in every morning to get up with a fixed time.

President Address:


(original author: last Monday's article obviously caused a lot of people resonate with, and the article received a lot of back links (reverse link with a total of 213 replies, and later of the comments turned off, or else will be more:)), more than any one on this site I wrote the article ............)

(Translation: Since the last article a great response, so decided to write an article on more details about what the side of things)

First, Translation is not it;) a combination of the original sentence by the word meaning (Translator Add: too excited and) sleeping in later and not feel sleepy at bedtime. college, I often play cards all night with the quarters of the students, we often go out after dawn to eat breakfast. If I do the work , hanging out with friends or do other very exciting activities, I can easily 睡觉 later than usual.

but I did not mean . I mentioned in this test, go to bed when it is exhausted.

I mean In fact, you just feel sleepy. But to make your mind releasing hormone, you need to create certain conditions to make it happen. This means that you make yourself slow down the pace down before sleep, I find that reading is the best way to let you sleep a slow pace before. Some people say that reading in bed is a bad habit ....... but I never read in bed without any problem, because when I was too sleepy and can not read on, I can put the book down, and then immediately fall asleep. but if you prefer, you can sit in a chair reading a book.

Another test you can use is, ask yourself, will go to sleep.

Once you set a fixed time wake up, you may need to determine through several practice time range you right to sleep. At first you may see change relatively large, late night sleep, sleep early the other night. But eventually you will get a feeling you can feel when you go to bed immediately fell asleep, and the next day you're still full of energy.

to prevent you sleep too late, give yourself a latest designated bedtime, even if this time you do not, sleepy, in any case you have to go to bed at that time. I know I need at least 6.5 every night hours of sleep time, but if you encounter an emergency situation, then I can sleep 5 hours the next day is also very good, provided that I do not do it every night. I now sleep a maximum of 7.5 hours . In the time I started to wake up every morning before I sleep every night, often 8-9 hours, so if sometimes it is really tired, and even slept for 10 hours.

If you drink coffee during the day, then if this may upset your sleep cycle. because the article at first you do not rely on drugs assuming sober, if you are addicted to coffee, then please get rid of your coffee addiction. If your brain to rely on the words of chemicals , do not expect your sleep will come at the right time.

previous article aims to explain how to develop good habits early. So the suggestion is put on how to make a habit of. Once the habits, and it can subconsciously work. you can do stimulating activities, such as working or playing video games, you will know when you need to go to sleep, even if it is night time and in the past different. I said, talked about the sleep test is very important to develop this habit, but in habit, the precise signal (in this case you should be able to feel the coming of sleep) will replace it works.

If you really need from time to time so you can sleep in later. If I had to go to sleep until 3 am, I do not intend to get up at 5 am the next day, but the next day I will return to the original time to get up.

I recommend you get up every day for a month at the same time, in order to develop the habit of getting up early. But after that, you will because the conditions at that time reflected wake up every day and you will be hard to sleep again. I decided to play in the later Saturday morning, so I did not set the alarm, but I automatically wake up at 4:58 on time. Then I tried to sleep again, but I'm awake, I totally can not sleep again. Oh, all right. Once this habit is formed, then you want to get up is not hard to point out. It's like you know when you go to bed sleepy as you will.

If you have children, you must try to adapt to it. I have two children, a 5-year-old, the other is only 1 year old. something they wake me from the middle of the night - my daughter has a habit She likes to bed in the this is the case, I give advice to you is when you sleep and sleep. want the baby to comply with affected after waking up, then it seems to blame your lack of self-control. If you have enough self-control, then, in any case you can immediately jump from the covers of. At first the motivation and effective, but may only last a few motivated days. laws like muscles, the more often you train it, the more you can rely on it. Everyone has some rules of its own (you can control your breathing it?), but not everyone is interested in to develop it. There are many ways to develop the law - you may have a law on how to build the six series of articles (I will post after six of the classic part of the translated, would like to learn more about how to feed into law, you can catch shrimp or other subscription tools to subscribe to my blog:)). Basically it comes down to some small challenges to overcome and defeat them, and gradually develop a habit, which seems to be lifting weights practice the same. When you self-control has been strong, as in a certain time to get up this challenge will ultimately become so easy. But if your self-control decline, then it seems to be an almost insurmountable obstacle to the same.

Why get up early?

the main reason I have to say is that you can have more time to do more interesting than sleep (Translator: I think it is meaning point of a half ago, I've done the exercise,UGG boots, a shower, eat breakfast, I have in my desk ready to work. I can squeeze a lot of time every day to do some productive work, and I usually completed before 5 pm the day of the work (that includes private hours of free time to caring for your family to participate in leisure activities, host a show, reading, writing diaries and so on. The most important thing is, I am still full of energy during this time. taking the time to do all those things important to me makes me feel very balanced, relaxed and optimistic.

think you can spare the time to do. Even if a spare 30 minutes a day is enough for your daily physical exercise,cheap UGG boots, reading, maintaining a blog, meditation, cooking healthy meals, learning a musical instrument and so on. Xiaocheng more product, even a very short period of time a day after a year's accumulation will also become great day out for 30 minutes extra a year is 182.5 hours. This is comparable to much longer working hours a month (working 40 hours per week). If you can save 60 minutes a day, then you can save the time of the year will be doubled, if you can Save 90 minutes a day, then it becomes a three-fold. For me, every day I can probably save 90 minutes. That means I work every ten years, equivalent to the work of eleven other people . I could use the time to the year before the energy to do the things I do not have time to do this is wonderful!:)
