Don't you like getting up in the morning? Do you wish you had a powerful plan that made you look, and most of all, feel good in the morning? Do you wish your parents would stop nagging you to wake up earlier? If you answered yes to the questions above, then you are in the right place. This article will show you how to do it.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Preparing at Night
Step 1. Go to bed at a reasonable time
Most studies say that teens need 9-10 hours of sleep. It really depends on you. There are some people who only need 7 hours of sleep but there are also those who need 11 hours of sleep.
Step 2. Set your alarm clock
Most people like radio alarm clocks. It's always a good idea to use a favorite song to wake yourself up in the morning.
Most people take almost an hour to get up, get dressed and have breakfast. If you shower in the morning, you should set aside at least 30 minutes to an hour to shower and dry your hair
Step 3. Prepare everything you need tomorrow
You will probably need different items to get through your day. Wallets, backpacks, homework, books, assignments: you name it. Make sure you have gathered all the items you need. Being organized is important here.
It can be helpful to make a list of things you need every day and a special note for rare things you need to remember (like class projects)
Part 2 of 3: Adding Time in the Morning
Step 1. Get up
Try to get up as soon as your alarm clock rings. This is a difficult thing, but you have to try.
Step 2. Use the bathroom first
Do everything you have to do in the bathroom before you get dressed. This will reduce clutter. Take a shower if you haven't showered the night before.
Step 3. Get dressed
Wrap your hair in a towel and let it start to dry then start dressing. Choose your best dress then wear it. If you have to share a bathroom with a lot of people, it might be a good idea to dress in your room so that other people can have a turn to use the bathroom.
- If you can, try to choose layers of clothing. Because this will make it easier for you to adjust the temperature throughout the day.
- If you need help choosing clothes, wikiHow can help.
Step 4. Do your make-up routine
After getting dressed, start dressing according to your routine. People will usually spend a lot of time on this, so it is important that you can reduce the time in dressing up. Use a product that doesn't take up time, such as a combination moisturizing cream and base cream. You should also think about the grooming activities you can eliminate. Things that look important but are actually not really needed like using a lot of makeup. To get ready, you can do things like:
- Brush your teeth.
- Take care of your skin.
- Styling hair.
- Make up your face (If you usually use makeup).
- Shave your face if you are a man or pluck your eyebrows if you are a woman.
Step 5. Trim your hair and if you use makeup, apply it after dressing
Some people prefer to apply makeup before getting dressed, as you might get your clothes dirty with makeup, but this shouldn't be a problem as long as you're careful. After all, you will smear your makeup when you dress.
Step 6. Breakfast
If you have time (and you should), have breakfast before you leave. Telling you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is just a cliché and completely wrong, but eating a healthy breakfast will wake you up and keep your mind clear and sharp throughout the day.
Eat something as simple as a cereal bar to save time
Step 7. Get out the door
You're ready to go. Try to leave a few minutes earlier than your required time. This will reduce your stress and keep you prepared in case things don't go according to plan.
One trick is to set the clock next to your front door 10 minutes ahead of time. This will help motivate you to get out the door
Part 3 of 3: Adjusting Your Routine
Step 1. Get up early
If you really want your mornings to go smoothly, one of the best things you can do is to get up early. It sounds terrible but it's not as bad as you might hear. You can even buy the time you need by just getting up 15 minutes early so you don't have to relive 1980s teen movies every morning. If you can get up early, you will probably have time to enjoy your breakfast or even some entertainment to help wake you up. Overall, you'll notice that getting up earlier will reduce the stress in your day.
- Move the alarm clock if you find it difficult not to press the snooze button. Set your alarm clock across from your room or use an alarm clock that is harder to turn off. Both will help you to get out of bed.
- Make time for exercise. If you can spare some time in the morning, it's a good idea to get some light exercise right when you wake up. Just a little bit of light activity can leave you more refreshed and ready than a cup of coffee and it won't give you that thumping feeling that caffeine does.
- Now, if you are sleep deprived, you may have to adjust for this by going to bed earlier. However, if you've been getting the recommended 8 or more hours of sleep, you may want to consider cutting back on your sleep. Did you know that too much sleep will also make you feel tired and dizzy all day long?
Step 2. Breakfast in the car
Eating breakfast in the car can save you time, especially if you spend a lot of time in traffic. You ask “but what about driving”? Make sure you bring easy-to-carry food and only eat at red lights or traffic jams. Choose healthy, protein-rich foods to start your day off well.
- You can try making apple and cheese quesadillas. Place the wheat tortillas on a plate and add the cheese and thinly sliced apples. Place another tortilla on top and microwave it for 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Slice up and your breakfast is ready to go.
- You can also make healthy smoothies. Combine low-fat milk, vanilla yogurt, apples and a little cabbage in a blender. Store in a carry-on glass and you're good to go. This is a healthy meal and you can make preparations for 2-3 days at a time.
Step 3. Try to take a shower at night
Taking a shower at night can save you time the next morning. This is especially true for people who share the bathroom in the house. You can reduce the fuss for the bathroom and can sleep a little longer if you so desire. You can also style your hair a little before bed, which means your hair is quite a bit restyled when you wake up in the morning.
You can also use dry shampoo both at night and in the morning if you want to give yourself more time. You still need to wash your hair at least once or twice a week, but dry shampoo can save you some time, especially on some particularly busy days
Step 4. Switch to waxing or stop shaving all at once
Shaving your legs and face takes a lot of time. You should consider not doing any of these things, especially when you are going through a very busy week or month. For men, keeping a neat beard is just as important as keeping a clean shaven face. For women, even wearing a skirt doesn't have to mean being free of leg hair. Just wear see-through tights or leggings (light colors are trending, after all.) You can keep yourself cool and save 15 minutes of your morning time.
Step 5. Do two things at once
Look for opportunities to do two things at once in your morning activity. For example, you can brush your teeth while waiting for the bath water to warm up. You can dress or make up a little while sitting in the bathroom. Use a little makeup while waiting for your straightener to heat up. Lots of opportunities to make the most of your time in your morning routine.
Tips

- If you really want to save your time, pick your outfit the night before. This will get you ready faster in the morning!
- Flush your face with cold water. This can help you open your eyes and be truly aware.

- If you don't buy lunch, prepare your lunch the night before. When you're done, put it in the fridge for tomorrow morning.
- Ask your sibling, papa or mama, or someone to wake you up if you don't wake up by a certain time. This will help you if you fall asleep and are not aware of the sound of your alarm clock.
- If you know that you're always having trouble getting up, no matter what, then set aside an extra half hour for you to wake up, then allow yourself to hit the snooze button a few times until you're fully awake.
- Flood your room with light in the morning. It will also help wake you up.
- Drink plenty of fluids the night before, so when your alarm clock rings, your body will know you're awake and need to go to the bathroom.
- Choose the right time to get ready so you will have enough time to sleep.
