How to Wake Up in a Good Mood

Many people feel that waking up this way is "normal" for them. Maybe they say that "they are not a morning person."

While this may be true being aware of the negativity is the first step to reversing it.
#
2

Next is the determination to make this change. Without the desire, it will not happen.

Making the change is well worth every effort. Your day will start out calmer and happier for you and for everyone around you. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for others.
#

Getting to bed at a reasonable and consistent time will train your body when to become sleepy and to wake up. An average adult requires 7 hours of rest each night.

Set your sleep schedule and keep it. Your body will be happier and you will wake up more rested after the adjustment period.
#
4

Avoid eating anything 3 hours before bed. Your digestive system can make your sleep very disturbed.

Also, avoid caffeinated beverages after lunch time. Opt for juices, water and decaffeinated teas or coffee.

Eat spicy or heavy foods at breakfast or lunchtime. Dinner should be something that is lite and healthy.
#
5

Keep the curtains open in your bedroom so that the morning sunshine can brighten the room. Waking up to natural light is healthy and will do wonders for your mood.
#
6

Avoid using the snooze button on your alarm clock. Set it for the time that you want to get up and then get up when it goes off. The sleep you get in ten minute increments is shallow and disruptive. This will definitely put you in a bad mood (and possibly those around you as well).

You may be groggy for the first 10 minutes until you hit the shower but that may happen no matter when you get up. That's ok. It will pass.
#
7

Keep the temperature in the bedroom tepid i.e. 68 to 71 degrees should work for both the men and women in your home. Chilly enough to need a cover but warm enough to wake up to. Extreme heat or cold will disturb your slumber.
#
8

Keep a sleep journal. Analyzing you personal sleep patterns is the best way to make adjustments where necessary.

I am not sure how far these things apply as I for one have never been able to follow any of them specially getting that ever evasive 7 hrs. sleep a day for last many years...but still never had any problem with my mood... always cheerful, positive and ready to rock... I think its most of ones mindset, what you look forward to and whether you have been delving on how your day should be the night before, in turn stressing your mind. IMO and experience if one can go to bed without inventories, he would get up just as good as he should be.

but not this "5

"Keep the curtains open in your bedroom so that the morning sunshine can brighten the room. Waking up to natural light is healthy and will do wonders for you" cos if I get up for the morning sunshine it means I've missed Fajr! that's never a good thing for me and will put me in a lousy mood.
