However, a good morning routine can improve your overall health, energy levels and performance productivity throughout the day. Increased productivity can in turn, mean you have more time on your hands!

Don't Press Snooze

Waking up early is a great way to start, you can focus on things you enjoy to do, like exercising or spending some time with loved ones. This helps set a positive frame for the rest of the day.

You may be thinking sleep is essential for a good performance, which it is, but so is routine! Ensure you sleep and rise at the same time each day, as this regulates your body’s internal clock. An inconsistent sleep-wake cycle can cause “irritability, drowsiness, mood swings, concentration and memory problems, headaches, and a decline in cognitive skills.”
