3. Ditch the traditional alarm
A tip for the brave: consider retiring traditional alarms for something that will help regulate your circadian rhythms in the long run.
"The first step to creating a perfect morning routine is to ensure your wake-up eases you into the day," says Reiki master Jessie Quinn. "Ditch your phone alarm for a sunrise alarm clock. These types of alarms are created with your natural circadian rhythm in mind and use light to ease you into wake-up mode so that, by the time your alarm goes off, you are feeling ready to get up and take on the day. I love the Hatch Restore Sleep Sound Machine. At nighttime, it provides a reading light, guided meditation, and relaxing sleep sounds. In the morning, it wakes you up with warm glowing sunlight, even if it’s still dark out."
