Boost Your Day: Set Alarm 90 Minutes Before to Maximize Productivity

Are you struggling to get everything done in a day? Do you feel like time is slipping through your fingers faster than spaghetti on a fork? Well, fear no more friends, because the solution might be as easy as hitting the snooze button. Yes, you heard that right! By setting your alarm clock 90 minutes before your regular wake-up time, you can set yourself up for an epic productivity boost. Now let’s dive into why this works and how you can make it work for you.

Understanding Sleep Cycles

First things first- let’s talk about sleep cycles. Our bodies operate on a natural rhythm known as circadian rhythms. These rhythms dictate when we feel tired or awake throughout the day based on light exposure and other environmental factors. Within these rhythms are what are known as sleep cycles (AKA Circadian Cycle Stage 3) which typically last around 90 minutes each. During each cycle, our brain goes through different stages of sleep from light stage one to deep stage three where most dreaming occurs.

Using Sleep Cycles To Your Advantage

So here comes the tricky part – instead of trying to force ourselves out of bed at any given moment within these cycles, what if we worked with them instead? This means timing our wake-up calls or bedtime so that they don’t interfere with completing an entire cycle (also called “winning”). If you’re using math skills today (high-fives for those who skipped school but appreciate googling) then putting together why waking up 90 mins earlier makes sense should not elude you anymore.

By setting your alarm clock so that it goes off just after one complete cycle has ended (that’s around 7 hours’ worth) but still wakes us during another lighter state rather than deeper rem-based slumbering will leave us feeling well-rested and ready to take on the day.

The Benefits of Waking Up Earlier

Now that we understand the power of sleep cycles, let’s consider how waking up 90 minutes earlier than usual can benefit us. Here are a few perks:

More Time To Settle In Before Starting The Day

  • There’s nothing worse than feeling rushed as soon as you open your eyes. By giving yourself an extra hour and a half in the morning (which could also mean less time spent within that snooze button slumber),you’ll have more time to get into your daily routine at a slower pace ensuring fewer things falling through those crevices starting off smoothly.

Fewer Distractions In The Morning

  • With those 90 extra minutes in hand you will manage getting done with important tasks like drinking coffee, checking emails or catching up on social media without any additional distractions from outside the door… cats people..kids….coffee shop accidents……just sayin’.

Exercise Sessions Done And Dusted!

  • Whether it be cardio, strength training or yoga – working out for even just ten-fifteen minutes has shown great physiological and mental benefits if done regularly (I do it too!). It’s safe to say exercising in itself is super productive but completing any workouts before heading into work will leave you feeling energized throughout the entire day!

Improved Mental Clarity

-Once out of dreamland and fully alert our overall clarity starts taking form clearing brain fog quickly sorting what really needs attention today. Getting everything sorted mentally pre-day-break sounds like making Super Mario eat his mushrooms….POWER UP!

Moreover, implementing this habit helps set your internal clock to prompt tiredness around nightfall helping establishing a consistent sleeping pattern over time which again reinforces better daytime productivity.

How To Implement Your New Game Plan?

The idea here isn’t just about sacrificing hours upon hours sleeping by cutting them short due to this new-found trick. Instead, we need to work around cycles by adjusting sleep patterns one way or another in such a manner as to not let that productivity boost burst into flames from missing quality shut-eye.

Baby Steps

  • Maybe try moving bedtime thirty minutes earlier each week during your weekday – this will help you establish consistency feel well-rested and get accustomed gradually without having the effects of reduced nightly stay kickboxing their way forward in full splendor.

Stick To A Consistent Pattern (Like, ALWAYS)

  • Next up on our list is sticking with this newfound alarm-setting-no-snooze-buttoning routine daily no matter what. Becoming consistent over time will result to reinforce better sleeping regulation cleaning the slate for improved daytime activity and guaranteed energy levels throughout.

Final Thoughts

Achieving great productivity has nothing really do with continually packing your day with activities – but it does have everything to do with establishing healthy habits consisting like maintaining a morning routine which should always be included here. By practicing healthier habits including good sleeping routines sets us on track naturally fit our everyday commitments are sorted precisely through good rituals like these setting initial bases that last long term all starting off super-profitable mornings!

So rise and shine my friends🌅 ! It’s never too late (or early) start working smarter rather than harder … though maybe with an extra bit of caffeine intake may pressure some productivity points gained along the way…
