Many successful people are used to getting up early. For example, Apple Corp CEO Tim Cook begins to process mail at 4:30 every morning, and Starbucks founder Howard Schulz gets up at 5:30 every day to read newspapers and drink coffee. Early rising can not only help you gain more time, but also help you improve the efficiency in thinking and working in the morning. But for the average people, getting up early is a tough challenge. There are five ways to help you get up early in an article published in the monthly magazine Manager:

First, try to figure out why you want to get up early. Do you want to exercise to make your body healthier, or do you want to have the time when you couldn’t be disturbed in the morning and do what you want to do, such as reading, writing, or meditating?. "When you exactly know why you want to get up early, it will be your motivation, and it will encourage you to get up and achieve your goals," says Chris Winfield, a well-known time management consultant in America.

Second, develop good habits before going to bed and prepare for sleep. When it comes to getting up early, many people will say they have no willpower, but people who rise early do not rise early by willpower, but develop early-to-rise habits. Gretchen Rubin, a happy life practitioners, said: "Habits keep us from problems of making decisions, and make changes easier to be implemented." In fact, we needn’t get up early deliberately,instead, the stable bedtime can gradually stabilize the time to get up.

Third, take 15 minutes as the basis, gradually go to bed and get up early. For example, you are used to sleeping at twelve in the evening and getting up at seven. You can try to go to bed early at eleven forty-five and get up at six forty-five.

Fourth, don't rely on the alarm's "later warning" button. People may think it's a happy thing to sleep a few minutes after the alarm goes off, but in fact, doing so will only make us more tired because it disrupts the sleep cycle and affects sleep quality. More importantly, lingering in bed delays the start of the day. When it becomes a reflex action, our subconscious will lack of self-discipline. It's recommended to put the alarm clock or cell phone away from the bed and have to get up before turning it off.

Fifth, choose your favourite morning activities in the morning,as it will help you to insist on getting up early easily.The article suggests that the first arrangement you should make after getting up is choose a thing you like doing, and what you choose will make you full of motivation when you think of it. Only in this way will you look forward to the beginning of the day.

5個(gè)幫助你早起的方法

許多成功人士都習(xí)慣早起，比如蘋果公司CEO蒂姆·庫(kù)克每天早晨4點(diǎn)半就開始處理郵件，星巴克創(chuàng)始人霍華德·舒爾茨每天5點(diǎn)半就會(huì)起床看報(bào)紙喝咖啡。早起不僅能爭(zhēng)取到更多的時(shí)間，清晨時(shí)人們的思考和工作效率也會(huì)比較高。但對(duì)普通人來說，早起是一場(chǎng)艱難的挑戰(zhàn)?！督?jīng)理人》月刊的一篇文章整理出5個(gè)幫助你早起的方法：

第一，要想清楚自己究竟為什么要早起。是想起來運(yùn)動(dòng)，讓身體更健康，還是想在早上空出一段不被打擾的時(shí)間，做自己想做的事，比如閱讀、寫作或冥想。美國(guó)知名時(shí)間管理顧問克里斯·溫菲爾德說，當(dāng)你確切了解自己想要早起的原因后，它將成為你的動(dòng)力，會(huì)在內(nèi)心深處鼓勵(lì)你起床達(dá)成目標(biāo)。

第二，養(yǎng)成睡前好習(xí)慣，為入睡做好準(zhǔn)備。說到早起，很多人會(huì)說自己沒有意志力，但早起的人們并非靠著意志力早起，而是培養(yǎng)早起的習(xí)慣。幸福生活實(shí)踐家格雷琴·魯賓說：“習(xí)慣讓我們免于做決策的困擾，使得改變更容易被實(shí)現(xiàn)?！逼鋵?shí)不用刻意早起，穩(wěn)定就寢時(shí)間，自然能逐漸穩(wěn)定起床時(shí)間。

第三，以15分鐘為基準(zhǔn)，逐漸提早就寢和起床時(shí)間。比如，你習(xí)慣晚上十二點(diǎn)睡、七點(diǎn)起床，可以試著提早到十一點(diǎn)四十五睡、六點(diǎn)四十五起床。

第四，不要依賴鬧鐘的“稍后提醒”按鈕。人們可能會(huì)覺得，在鬧鐘響起后再多睡幾分鐘是件幸福的事，但事實(shí)上，這么做只會(huì)讓我們更累，因?yàn)樗茐牧怂哐h(huán)、影響了睡眠品質(zhì)。更重要的是，賴床延遲了一天的開始，成為反射動(dòng)作后，會(huì)使我們的潛意識(shí)缺乏自律性。文章建議，把鬧鐘或手機(jī)放在離床邊遠(yuǎn)一點(diǎn)的地方，非得起床后才能把它關(guān)掉。

第五，選擇你喜歡的晨間活動(dòng)，這樣會(huì)比較容易堅(jiān)持早起。文章建議，早起后選擇一件你喜歡做、能讓你一想到就充滿動(dòng)力的事，成為每天的第一個(gè)安排，這樣能讓你對(duì)每天的開始都充滿期待。
