Ok it may sound obvious and it’s easier said than done, but sticking to a routine and getting a good night’s sleep does wonders.

Adults should aim to get between seven and nine hours of sleep every night and if you go to bed just an hour or two earlier, you’re more likely to wake up earlier than you normally would.

Another episode on Netflix or a quick scroll through Instagram is easy to do just before we doze off, but try to turn off all your devices at least an hour before bed. The artificial light will keep you up and delay your body’s internal clock, so try cosying up with a good book instead.

If you’re a slow mover in the mornings, try and get all the essential prep done the night before so there’s little to do once your alarm clock goes off.

Whether that means preparing your breakfast (more on that in a bit), laying out tomorrow’s outfit or packing your bag for that morning gym class, use that evening to get prepared so you can feel a lot less stressed the next day.

A lot of the time we dread the mornings because it means you have a dull day full of meetings, drop-offs and/or appointments ahead. But this doesn’t have to be the case.

Plan something for the next morning that will make you want to get out of bed rather than stay hidden under the covers. This could be a new yoga class before work or even something as simple as a coffee date with a friend, whatever works best for you.

Along with nails scratching down a chalkboard, the alarm clock on a miserable morning is one of the worst sounds in the world.

Place your phone or clock on the other side of your bedroom so that you’re forced to get out of bed to turn it off. If you can turn on a light or open the curtains to brighten up your room while you’re up, you’re less likely to get back into bed and make yourself late.

It’s the most important meal of the day, but it turns out not many of us are eating our breakfast.

Research has found that Gen Xers are more likely to skip breakfast or have a coffee instead whereas millenials will eat their brekky more towards lunchtime.
