How To Be A Morning Person
I haven't always been a morning person. I used to give people the stink eye when they woke me up before I wanted to. I'm sure we all do this at ten though. I one day had enough with not getting up early enough to be fully awake before school and not fall asleep at the breakfast table. So I did what all people do. Look for solutions on YouTube. I came across a few answers and I will give you the Jess approved mark on the ones that worked for me.
Waking up during a lighter sleep period-
Even though you might think sleep is nothing more than just closing your eyes and dosing off, there are patterns your body follows. Stage one to two is a light sleep period. Stage three to four are deep sleep periods. Fifth stage is REM- Rapid eye movement or dream stage. you go through a few of these cycles

Alarms:
If you have a song you cant help but dance to lately, this would be a perfect alarm. I have found that a good song is a great way to wake up. If a song is too much maybe try an alarm that slowly gets louder. This will slowly wake you up and probably make you a little happier.
Distant Alarm:
Putting your arm on the other side of the room. Yes, I said it, The other side of the room. That way you will have to get up and go turn it off. This is a bit more effective. I've never had to use it but i'm sure it will work.
Treat Yourself:
This is my way to happiness. Every time I feel like not getting up I tell myself that I get coffee. I always wake up and make coffee while I drink a glass of water. If a coffee isn't your style a good morning tea or Granola would be a good wake up call as well.
Wake up Earlier:
This is actually one that I found out myself. I always wake my siblings up at 5:40, but it used to be at 5:20. I went a week on the new schedule and found I didn't like the waking up later than usual part, so I pushed my wake time to 5. I know, I sound crazy, but I love it. I seem to be a little happier and productive when I've had a few hours to wake up. Another part to this is you feel on cloud nine when you can push that sleep button for a little more sleep and not be late!
Relaxation:
Start your morning off with a prayer or reading your Bible. This I have found kicks your brain into gear. You could also start off with a quick run or some yoga. I love when I get a little me time and do what I love early in the morning so nobody can mess with me. I also recommend listening to a podcast in the morning. I also like this a lot while drinking my coffee. I recommend the podcast Stuff You Missed In History Class I love history. no better way to start the day.
If All Else Fails-
If all else fails you could set multiple alarms five minutes apart, that way you can never get rid of the noise. My sister did this to me once as a prank, Its definitely works.
