Many people who consider themselves "night owls" find it unbearably difficult to get up early in the morning.

Waking up early has a negative impact on their performance, social life and overall well-being.

In this article, we'll look at scientific recommendations that will help you adjust your biological clock and make waking up easier, even if you're not a morning person.

Use light at the right time

You've probably come across the recommendation that you shouldn't bring your smartphone into the bedroom, since the light from the gadget (as well as from other devices) can disrupt your sweet sleep.

Indeed, light can be called the main way of regulating human circadian rhythms.

Therefore, try not to spend your evenings in front of the TV, laptop monitor or with the lights on – it will be difficult for you to fall asleep.

Wake up and fall asleep correctly

It's best to get out of the cozy lair of blankets and pillows immediately after you wake up - don't allow yourself to lie around in bed in the morning.

Try not to lie around in bed during the day, and when you go to bed at night, go straight into a dark room and try to fall asleep, rather than indulging in a book or surfing the internet before bed.

Stick to a working routine

Check out these sleep hygiene tips: We bet you already know some of them.

For example, you probably know that the bedroom should be dark, quiet and cozy. Try to keep the temperature in the sleeping room around 16-20 degrees.

Get into good habits and try to stick to them, because routine is the key to success.
