When you’re looking to create a positive change in your life, the first step may involve adjusting your schedule. This usually means becoming a morning person. While it would be great to suddenly decide that we’re going to be early risers, this doesn’t always come naturally to everyone. In fact, according to The Sleep Foundation, whether or not someone is a morning person depends on their personal circadian rhythm. But that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. With a little discipline and some tips from an expert, you can learn how to become a morning person.
Starting your day earlier doesn’t only help you feel better and like you have your life together. Dr. Abhinav Singh MD, FAASM – a member of The Sleep Foundation, Medical Director of the Indiana Sleep Center, and author of “Sleep to Heal” – explains that becoming a morning person can have a wide array of health benefits, including suggestions of better mental and physical health, as well as increased productivity.
While there’s no fixed timeline for this transformation, Dr. Singh says that you might be able to see the benefits of starting your days earlier within a few weeks of setting the habit. Here are a few ways to train yourself to become a morning person.
