I used to hit the snooze button like it was my job. Mornings felt impossible, and I’d always feel groggy throughout the day. After trying a bunch of different hacks, I finally found a combo that actually works!

1. Obvious Move Your Alarm Across the Room – Seriously, put it far enough away that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. The motion helps wake up your body faster.
2. Light It Up – Set up an automatic sunrise alarm or a cheap smart bulb to gradually brighten your room 30 minutes before you wake up. Mimicking natural light signals your brain to start waking up before the alarm even goes off.
3. Drink Water Before Bed – I keep a glass of water next to me and drink a decent amount before sleeping. Sure, you might have to pee in the morning, but trust me, it’s a natural way to make yourself get up early.
4. 2-Minute Rule – When you wake up, tell yourself to just stand or sit up for 2 minutes. Most of the time, if you commit to those first two minutes, you’ll find it easier to push through and start the day.
