You should definitely not do this when waking up!

1. Not making your bed.

Making your bed every morning starts a chain of good habits trough the day that will increase your performance.

2.Wow! Lots of emails.

Checking your mailbox when you wake up can lead you to an endless loop of requests and make you stay longer in bed. Avoid checking new emails at morning.

3. Curling up is so comfy!

Curling up or doing any other kind of wide stretching while still in bed builds up your comfidence for ypur day.

4. That damned alarm!

Waking up by the sound of an alarm makes our body get into a danger situation mode which causes our heart rate to go up. Try to get used to an automatic routine, being able to wake up without an alarm.

5. No snooze.

If you can't get an automatized routine and really need an alarm to wake you, avoid hitting the snooze as it'll make you feel worse instead of more energetic and refreshed.

6. Coffee yes, but later.

Coffee should be drank after 9:30 since that's what fits people the most. Drinking it for breakfast when you get out of bed slow downs your production of cortisol which leads to less energy.

7. Turn on those lights!

Getting prepared and dressed in the dark might trick your mind into thinking that's still night, which might make you feel groggy.

So now you know. From now on try to avoid these habits that I'm sure you have, at least, one of them. It'll help you improve your days a lot!
