What are the Dos and Don'ts to wake up early without feeling too tired?

Question

I'm a 14 years Indonesian old junior high student, that means I must wake up early in the morning exactly at 5:30 am, get prepared for school and catch the bus at quarter past six. Well, if you're from Europe or USA, you'll probably be surprised at the time i woke up because schools in Indonesia starts early, usually 7 am. When I woke up, i felt tired and unpassionate to go to school. I need some advice to woke up early without feeling tired.

Answer 1

Do go to bed at around 9-10 pm. get plenty of sleep.
Do have a warmed glass of milk to help you fall asleep.
Do have a warm bath before bed.
Do wind down slowly, no stimulation before sleep

Don't eat before bed
Don't drink coffee or any soda pop before bed.

thats about all I can think of.

Answer 2

Ahh a good question you have and an answer I have for you, but first a few questions.

1) Do you drink any sodas (w/ or w/out caffiene) in excess?
-If you do, then you should stop. Even one or two a week is a bad thing. For instance, the soft drinks without caffiene in them can give you a sort of sugar high, regardless of what a label might tell you. It is even worse with soft drinks WITH caffiene in them. Try drinking more water, and even maybe juices, such as apple, orange and cranberry. All are good for the body and you will feel more rested. However, do not drink these in excess either, the water, yes, but not the juices.

Energy drinks are especially bad because they put you on a sort of sugar high as well. Once you are off that high then you feel like you are dragging. Basic point I am trying to make is stay away from soft drinks, energy drinks and some sports drinks.

Answer 3

Everyone everywhere feels unpassionate aand tired to get up in the morning and go anywhere. Most rural US kids get up at 5 am for school because the bus picks them up between 6-7 am, and it takes them that long to get ready.

Getting more than 8 hours of sleep a night can cause you to feel more tired durring the day. Waking up in the dark can make it harder for your body to switch on for the day, so turn your bedroom light on as soon as you're awake. Dont lay back down on your bed once you're up, and turn on the TV or radio to stimulate your brain and signal that its time to function. Eat a good breakfast, but not a heavy one, a fully belly will make you sleepy.

Doing some quick morning exercises, some sit ups and push ups, as soon as you roll out of bed, can also help you wake up and feel more energized.

Answer 4

well I am not surprised.. I also used to get up very early and still do on occasion the longest I sleep til in 6am but like tonight I start work at 4 am and work though until 3am next day so I know how you feel.. the best thing to do it wake up 10 minutes earlier and have a shower and eat a good breakfast even if you don't feel hungry take some fruit with you to eat on your journey... and if you can get some earphones and listen to upbeat music on your way ..

but that's all I can suggest really.. unfortunately you get used to it and it just becomes second nature...

good luck and study hard

Answer 5

I'm in the US and I know lots of kids your age that have to catch the bus by 6:30AM so the time you need to get up does not surprise me at all.

You need to go to bed earlier and get 8-9 hours of sleep.
