Many of us have had the desire to wake up ready for the day. But it always ends up with us hitting the snooze button, or waking up wishing we could have one more hour of sleep.

When this is persistent, it can impact how us and our day by:

Keeping us in a tired state

Unfocused

More likely to be unproductive

This is often the experience of many, but there's good news: it can be changed.

I have done my research. I have found some tips that are recommend by experts to help you feel well rested in the morning.

How your sleep environment is important factor in how your feel when you wake up. These are some tips to optimize your sleep environment.

Use a sleep mask or blackout curtains. Excessive light messes with your circadian rhythms, which contributes to your sleep. (Sleepfoundation)

Using a sleep mask or blackout curtains can ensure that you achieve the best rest.

Set your room between 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. If your room is too hot or too cold, it will keep you up. The right temperature would be around 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit based off of most research.

Minimize noise. It's best to keep the noise minimum before going to sleep. If it is not possible to control outside noises, then consider using a fan, a white noise machine, or earplugs.

This is a very common concept that is often overlooked but plays a very crucial role in sleep. Often we go to bed inconsistently, which causes us to wake up groggy in the morning.

Some may go to sleep at 10pm, for example and then next day 12pm. In doing that, it throws your sleep-wake cycle off.

It's recommended to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. So, creating a routine you can be consistent with, can help you achieve that amount of sleep. It also maintains your sleep and wake up schedule.

Here are some other tips that can help with a consistent sleep schedule:

No screens one hour before bed. Devices keeps us on longer and delaying sleep.

Relax thirty minutes before bed. Doing relaxing things allow you to fall asleep faster. "Focus on trying to relax instead of trying to fall asleep." (Sleepfoundation)

What you do in the day affects how you sleep at night. It is important to focus on activities that promote good sleeping habits like:

Exercising for at least 20 minutes. Regular physical activity can promote better sleep. Experts suggest that rigorous exercise should not happened before bed. This is because the body may take longer to calm down. (Mayoclinic)

Watch what you eat and drink. Don't eat till your full and don't go to bed hungry. You may encounter irritation, and it will keep you up.

Keeping naps at 20 minutes. Sleeping too long in the day or closer to your bedtime prevents you from going to sleep at your normal time.

Waking up in the morning and not feeling well rested is a common problem. But it can change with minor or major changes to our daily lives.

But it is also important to note that minor or major changes. For example going to sleep and waking up at the same time, may not always work.

If the changes are not working for you, it's best to see medical expert.
