Rise and Shine. By Binks

How many of you have a hard time waking up in the morning no matter how well you slept? That’s me. I could sleep 4 hours or 9 hours and still feel completely out of it in the morning. I’d love to hear your techniques for waking up. Here are some I’ve tried:

Putting the coffee maker in my room so all I have to do is reach over and turn it on. I have the Ninja Coffee Bar and love it. Still haven’t figured out the milk situation as it seems silly to put a mini fridge in my bedroom. I like my coffee with milk.

I put an Amazon Echo in my bedroom and ask it to wake me up with the news in the morning. Sometimes I try new things like waking up to a podcast or heavy metal…nothing too soothing so I fall back asleep.

Refreshing facial spray to wake me up. Something with peppermint or tea tree oil. I keep it on my bedside table.

Gradually lighting alarm clocks. These do not work for me as my room is typically lit by the time I need to get up. That said, I haven’t tried them in the winter so maybe I’ll bust it back out.

Please, I beg of you, share your proven methods of waking yourself in the morning. I’m ready to try anything. Comment below. I’d love to hear about products you’ve used that you love. I’d also love methods you’ve tried that have helped you!
