Sleep and recovery: start with regular timing
Sleep deserves a place alongside exercise and meals. A first change can be a more predictable bedtime and wake-up time.
Habits
A morning routine without a 5 a.m. alarm
A good morning does not have to start before sunrise. A useful routine is one you can maintain without cutting needed sleep.
Put it into practice
Prepare clothes and tasks the evening before. Leave a few minutes for breakfast, gentle movement or a short walk according to your schedule.
Things to keep in mind
Choose one habit rather than ten. If every morning is rushed, reconsider preparation and timing instead of calling it a lack of willpower.
Your next step
- Prepare the evening before
- Choose one habit
- Protect sleep time
