Are you this guy in the morning?

I know many people who struggle getting up in the morning. I think it largely has to do with how you go to bed – this waking up tired thing. Couple of fool proof remedies which work for me are:

1. Cup of rooibos about 30min before bedtime. settles my tummy. no sugar, no milk. Rooibos + applejuice.

2. Stop work at least 2 hours before bedtime. Nothing kills my sleep more than a mind still working while I`m sleeping. 2 hours seems to do the trick for me.

3. Stretch, or rub your fascia with a Myofacial ball. I will go into the ball tomorrow, but stretching the line which runs from your foot, through your back into your spine, makes for better sleep.

4. Have a bedtime routine. Brush teeth, wash face, whatever it takes to teach your body that its now going to sleep. Do it. Teach your subconsicous to respond to these triggers to trigger good, healthy sleep.

5. Urban Angel tells me I need to sleep in 2 hour batches, so either 6 or 8 hours. Ask her why. Its something she preaches. I am merely the student.

Give those a shot, so you dont look like this kid in the morning. It is not puuuurdy.
