How can I wake up feeling great and not tired, is there a trick to this?

Answer 1

Make sure you get enough of sleep, 7-9 hours depending on you age.

Answer 2

I have found from my experience alot of what contributes to a good nights rest is in the bed you sleep in. Is it comfortable? Do you wake up achey? You may actually want to look into a new mattress. I know Tempurpedic beds (they are pricey, but so worth it) leave you waking well rested and NOT achey. Do you think you get enough rest at night? Do you fall asleep with a lot on your mind? If that's the case a good idea is to make your bedroom more of a sanctuary. Try drinking some chamomile tea, and reading a book before drifting off to la la land. Get your mind off anything that's troubling you is what I'm saying. Also, excercise plays a key role in this. Try to maintain a routine 3-4 times a week, it will help circulate your blood, which is good for your heart and head. Then the sleep you want should come naturally...

Answer 3

Something very important to consider is the possibility that you have what is called sleep apnea. Thats where the soft tissue of your throat presses down on your windpipe during sleep. So in essence hundreds of times a night you quit breathing and then are partial awakened by your brain to sputter and move to start breathing again. You dont remember doing this as it occurs on the sub concious level ie: sleep. My older brother had this condition for about ten years and it did'nt matter how many hours of sleep he tried to get he was always tired and irritable. There are devices and surgery that can eliminate this problem. But I would go to a good doctor at a sleep clinic 1st so that they can monitor you while you sleep and then you'll know exactly what the problem might be. Good luck to you

Answer 4

If you're sleeping a full 8 hours but still wake up tired, you might have sleep apnea; ie you stop breathing periodically throughout your sleep cycle. This causes distress to your body since you aren't sleeping fully as your body 'wakes up' in order to resume breathing.
Alternatively, snorers also suffer from waking up tired, as their body does not receive sufficient amounts of oxygen with each breath.
In either case, one should consult their doctors for a professional opinion.

Answer 5

The depth of sleep is more important than the length of sleep. You will get deep sleep if you are healthy and have been physically exhausted. So do some exercise and sleep by 10PM. Your mind should be free from stress. You should be OK.

If it does not help then you need to go to a doctor who can diagnose the problem. There are many reasons why people do not get refreshed after a night's sleep. They are called sleep disorders.

Answer 6

Go to bed early and at a particular time.Your body watch will like it.Take bath or at least wash your feet before going to bed.Live a simple life.Do some prayer before going to sleep.Remember all the good things you possess and Thank God for his mercies.Think about a good deed you performed during day and also things you should not have done and resolve to correct yourself in future. Do not drink in excess to prevent hang over.Be Positive. Meditate.
Walk for about an hour in open.

Answer 7

Go to your doctor and explain to him you are not feeling like you have slept even after a full nights rest. He will most likely send you to a sleep clinic for one night too find out if you have sleep apnea. If you do then he can prescribe a machine that prevents this from happening. Believe me the machine works. I myself use it and i wake up feeling good every time i use it. I hope this helped.

Answer 8

It is not the duration but the quality of sleep that matters. You can get a compact disc brought out by the Bihar School of Yoga, Ganga darshan, Munger, Bihar, India that gives instructions on Yoga Nidra or the oriental science of Yogic Sleep. You may like to visit their website www.yogamag.net and www.yogavision.net . Believe me, it will change your life.

Answer 9

Drink a glass of warm water with hint of real lemon juice the night before - You will wake up refreshed in the morning!

Answer 10

Dont oversleep...have a routine where you get to bed around the same time every night and make sure your iron levels are not low...get up...go for a run then shower....betcha you'l feel on top of the world all day. Watch your diet too..too many carbs can keep you feeling sluggish.

Answer 11

for starters, get enough sleep. then, when you wake up, get up immediatly. laying around or dozing back off will make you groggy.

a recent study shows that getting a small amount of caffeine (sp) right before going to bed will make you more alert in the morning. sometimes i drink a quarter cup of coffee before bed and personally, this seems to work, but it might be all in my head.

another thing that helps is to exercise regularly.
