How does one become a "morning person?"

Oh yes. And you won't like it. It's just waking up earlier. I'm normally up a good two hours before I need to be anywhere, not to get ready, because if I don't, I will snap at people. And yet, people are convinced I am a morning person.

It's pretty much the only way I know of. You just set your alarm clock, and your phone's alarm to wake you up earlier.

I take Nature Made Super B-Complex it has Vitamin C in it as well. I didn't think it would do much for me but I haven't been drinking coffe lately, because of cafeine sensitivity. Well sure enough after taking this about 20 minutes later the fog had lifted from my head.
Hope this helps you and good luck with the rest of your classes and Graduation.

You just need to set your alarm clock much earlier and do not hit snooze! I get up at 5.30am every morning to take the dog for a walk, make the packed lunches, do the dishes/jobs that need doing before leaving for work. Once you decide on the time you need to get up it will soon become normal for you!

Maybe just start setting your alarm 15 mins earlier and work from that, then by August maybe you'll be ok

Or borrow some young children lol. My kids are always up early, so I have no choice!

I'm on maternity leave now, but when I was at work I had to be up at 6 anyway, get kids ready, drop one at breakfast club for 7:45, then another at nursery, then on to work. When I go back to work I'll be doing that with 3 kids. Coffee helps

Die.
Get reincarnated as a morning person.

Start setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier every 3 days and maintain at the time that would be ok, come august.
Also, try cutting down on evening TV and internet time and go to sleep a little earlier.i work shifts so i train myself from being midnight person to morning person and back every 15 days!Lol

Get to bed earlier
set your alarm for the time you want to wake up and don't press the snooze button!
I struggled with this too so I rolled out of bed when I couldn't open my eyes.

After about a week of practice you'll find yourself waking up before your alarm clock wakes you up :-)

if you can, try to wake up before anyone else in the house. the alone time will be good for you and you can be a ray of sunshine by the time everyone else wakes up.

I'm not sure there's any way to become a true "morning person," I think you have to be born that way.

Not true. It's called discipline which over time turns into habit which over time turns into "the natural state of affairs".

I'm actually a bit cross, I can rarely sleep past 6.30 regardless of how late last night was. On regular days I get up at 5am. 3 years ago I struggled to get up before 9 or 10am and would happily stay in bed until noon on the weekend.

I have to be at work by 6am which takes 30mins to get there so i have no choice but regardless to some of us it's natural, i've always been a morning person as far as i can remember and definately not a night owl as is my father and his father before him, my older brother and mother on the other hand are the complete opposite they stay up late and sleep in til the last possible minute

as life long sufferer of frequent ensomnia and only sleeping in 2hr blocks.
i'm awake by 7am at the very latest, usually 4:40am during the week (early work start time) and 6:30am on weekends, don't need an alarm clock my body wakes me up atleast 10mins before i have it set anyway and once i'm awake i'm awake, can still yawn and all but fully aware and no "morning fog" that affects so many people when they wake up.

Not always, sometimes i get that but not often

But if you really want to be conscious to do it and have energy maybe to exercise before work, the simple thing is goto bed early, giving yourself atleast 8hrs to atleast Personally i'm half asleep by 10:30pm on weekends, and during the week i'm in bed by 9pm.

even as a kid my internal clock would wake me up as soon as the sun came up, almost like i was on Rooster time lol.

as Awesome hinted at with discipline you retrain your body to do it. I just find i have the most energy first thing in the morning after fasting for 9+hrs and during the day it steadily drops off.

I was born that way. I can't help it. It was not my choice - but has been going on for 56 years. According to this - it's all good.

Totally agree you really need an alarm clock and to hit the sack earlier so you still get your recommended sleep it takes time as a person that could sleep most the day and stay up all night it was particularly hard to change I had to pull a couple of all nighters and all days to reset mine or slowly stay awake an hour longer each day to get back to normal time easiest for me was simply staying up till my desired bed time and getting some really good sleep..

you make yourself get up, after awhile you get used to it

My AVERAGE bedtime before kids was midnight, but after kids were born I needed to change my schedule. The biggest thing is going to bed earlier. If I go to bed earlier, then I get up earlier, get my exercise in, eat right, get more done, and am ready to go to bed earlier the next night. Figure out whatever your goal time is to get up early, then whatever time you went to bed last night, go to bed 30 min earlier each night until you reach your goal. Make sure that you allow 8 hrs of sleep so you will feel rested whenever you get up. Use a white noise machine like a fan to drown out little noises, keep your room slightly cool, cover your windows w/black out curtains (or foil) to make the room REALLY dark, & try not to eat or drink anything 3 hrs before bed so you'll sleep more soundly. A great NATURAL sleep supplement if you need something initially to help you is Nature Made's "Sleep," which can be found in most drug stores. Once you get up, make sure to get dressed right away, so you'll be less tempted to go back to bed, and try to exercise first thing. This former night owl now usually goes to bed around 9:15pm, and wakes up without an alarm clock before 5am. Everyone I've known who got into the habit of getting up earlier actually likes it better, and feels it's a much more productive day.

It takes practice. I was never a morning person, loved staying up late and sleeping in. Once I had kids that all went out the window and then once I started running I got up even earlier to be up before the kids. You just keep doing it until it becomes normal. Go to bed earlier. Set your coffee pot to have coffee ready for you when you wake up. There is something really magical about being awake and out when the sun comes up, I love it. Early morning is now my favorite part of the day.
