Start Your Day in 33 Different Ways Mornings are underrated. I consider them fundamental for the whole diurnal experience. What you do in the very first moments of your morning will fundamentally and inexorably shape your entire day. Most of the time you spend your mornings by routinely performing some habits, on auto pilot. Hence, your days will routinely unfold towards you, the same way day after day, on auto pilot. Consciously inserting your intentions in these very first moments will have a huge effect. Here are at least 33 ways in which you can transform your days by only spending 5 minutes every morning. 1. I love the morning stillness and the unspoken promise of something ready to start. 2. And do nothing. 3. Point your mind to something you’re really grateful for and stay there. 4. Regardless of the current season. 5. You’re going to spot it pretty easily if you put your mind to it. 6. Write an answer to an old question, do part of a small chore, move an object out of somebody’s way. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Let go. 12.

How Many Hours of Sleep Do You Really Need? I took a class taught by the Penn PI cited in this article, Dr. David Dinges, called "Human Chronobiology and Sleep". I also worked part-time for a company for which he was a consultant while I was a student. One thing he emphasized in his class that really stood out for me is the inverse relationship between exposure to light (especially short-wave/blue light around 470nm) and melatonin production. EDIT: If anyone's interested, here's the syllabus for the course I mentioned: [www.sas.upenn.edu] How to Become an Early Riser It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom. – Aristotle Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high correlation between success and rising early, even in my own life. … and the next morning, I got up just before noon. Hmmm… I tried again many more times, each time not getting very far with it. It’s hard to become an early riser using the wrong strategy. The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It seems there are two main schools of thought about sleep patterns. The second school says you should listen to your body’s needs and go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. Through trial and error, I found out for myself that both of these schools are suboptimal sleep patterns. If you sleep set hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough.

Easy way to reset your sleep cycle: Stop eating Not eating for 12-16 hours can help people quickly reset their sleep-wake cycle, according to a new study from the Harvard Medical School. This discovery can drastically improve a person's ability to cope with jet lag or adjust to working late shifts. Scientists have long known that our circadian rhythm is regulated by our exposure to light. Now they have found a second "food clock" that takes over when we are hungry. This mechanism probably evolved to make sure starving mammals don't go to sleep when they should be foraging for food. The lead researcher Clifford Saper explains: The neat thing about this second clock is that it can override the main clock ... and you should just flip into that new time zone in one day. It usually takes people a week to fully adjust to a new time zone or sleeping schedule. How does it work? Simply stop eating during the 12-16 hour period before you want to be awake. Why does this work? "For a small mammal, finding food on a daily basis is a critical mission.

Sleepyti.me Calculates the Best Time to Go to Sleep So You Wake Up Refreshed There is no medical/scientific evidence to support the claims that this app will help. First of all, the "90-minute sleep cycle" idea is just that, an idea. Saying that people experience regular, 90-minute cycles is like saying all people have exactly 1.7 children since that is the national average, when, in fact, NOBODY has exactly 1.7 children. Also, sleep stages very by cycle dramatically, so waking up after 4.5 hours is very different from waking up after 7.5 hours. Finally, there is very little evidence to support the claim that waking up at the "end of a cycle" is any different than any other point in the cycle, especially if its a later cycle that consists mostly of REM and Stage 2 sleep. This is the second sleep-related article in the past couple of weeks on this site that has featured inaccurate, misleading information.

How to be a morning person, and have more time for yourself! Do you hate getting up in the morning? Does the sound of your alarm clock set you in panic, dry sweats, and almost bring you to tears each morning? Do you hate people that are happy and chipper early in the morning? Do you need to have at least two cups of coffee before you can even acknowledge the day each morning? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, this ‘ible is for you. Please note, I’m not a doctor, I never played one on TV, I didn’t even stay in a Holiday Inn last night, so please use this only as a guide and seek professional help for any problems or issues you may have. With that said, I have been in the US Army for over 20 years and been deployed all over. Over time, I’ve learned plenty of tricks for dealing with early mornings. So here goes…

Publications Slaves To New Media 04/13 Can't go on vacation (or even to a movie or ball game) without checking email or logging into social media? When was the last time you spent a solid uninterrupted hour just reading a dead-tree book or magazine? A growing number of folks log into social media when they watch TV (some say in an attempt to save shows looking like they might not be renewed). A University of Chicago study found that most people say Facebook, Twitter and email are harder to resist than cigarettes and alcohol. You know this is true, because you have to practically beat your kids to stop them from texting during meals (or any other time, for that matter.) Out where I live, drivers are running over and killing pedestrians because they can't resist the urge to answer the phone or send a text while behind the wheel. As advertisers, in this new media world order, we need to rethink our traditional concepts of impressions and engagement, since we are now only getting snippets of audiences' attention. Hmmmmmm.
