1. Do not hit snooze

The amount of sleep you receive you receive never feels like its enough, so you snooze as many times as possible to fit those extra minutes in. This could be very bad for your body. When you hit snooze, the desire to sleep increases because the sleep received in the snooze is low-quality so you will be hitting snooze repeatedly.

2. Drink water

Overnight the body gets very dehydrated due to sweating and not having water for a relatively long period of time. A glass of water every morning will replenish the body's hydration storage. Drinking water also helps boost the metabolism because the body relies on water to keep the digestive system running smoothly.

3. Eat breakfast

Your body gets necessary energy with food so it is not smart to start out the day without breakfast. In the morning, the body is able to convert more food into energy that can keep you energized for a long time. Studies have shown that skipping breakfast can cause you to overeat later in the day leading to weight gain.

4. Exercise

Exercise is tiring and requires time but the benefits received are worth it. One advantage of exercising in the morning is that the metabolism is boosted allowing more calories to be burned for the rest of the day. Another advantage is you are more alert after exercising so focus and concentration improve.

5. Meditation

Meditation in the morning helps us think more effectively and efficiently which leads to a productive day. Another long-term benefit is that you are exercising your brain with meditation so concentration and memory improve.
