If you’re one of those individuals who are in the habit of hitting the snooze button each morning, my challenge for you going forward is to stop doing this. If the first thing you do every morning when your alarm goes off is hit the snooze button and going back to sleep, then it’s time to give yourself a wake up call. By hitting the snooze button rather than shutting the alarm off, you have made the choice to start your day with your first loss rather than your first victory.
Whether you realize it or not, when you set the alarm the night before, you are actually setting a goal. When you hit the snooze button, you are telling yourself that your first goal of the day was not important. This is not a good way to start the day.
True success is all about developing good, positive habits Now, I’m not a sleep expert, however, when you hit the snooze button, you are interrupting your REM(dream) sleep. Hitting snooze has you running the risk of you re-entering a different sleep phase and waking up groggy instead of ready to take on the day.
We’ve all heard the expression “You snooze, you lose.” If you want to have a successful life, it’s important to start the day off positively. Waking up on time is essential in having a successful day. How you begin your day is critical. If you’re hitting the snooze button, the problem is you start your day off rushed, in a bad mood, and mad at yourself for not waking up on time. Snoozing is just procrastination. Snoozing is a complete waste of time.
Time is precious. Snoozing just 10 minutes a day, even if it’s only five days a week, adds up to 2600 minutes, or 43 hours, a year. I hope this puts everything into perspective for you. Just imagine what you can do with an extra 43 hours a year. It’s time to change this bad habit. The first step is to give yourself a solid reason to stop.
If you want to change your life and your morning routine, you need to know your purpose for doing so. This is all about setting positive goals for yourself and understanding that you must stop procrastinating in order to achieve them. Going forward, make it difficult to hit the snooze button. Put your alarm somewhere far enough away that you have to get out of bed to turn it off. Now that you’re standing up and awake, make the commitment to take on this new day and this new opportunity with gratitude.
Get into the habit of having a good sleep routine. For me, six hours of sleep is about what I need to have the energy for a productive day. I set a goal to be sleeping by 10:30ish PM and, on average, I am waking up at 5:00 AM before the alarm goes off.
As you get into this new positive routine, you will soon develop a new philosophy and a new way of life. Your motto becomes,
“No alarm clock needed, my passion wakes me up!”
Begin today by setting some exciting goals and get passionate about your life. Make every second count. No more procrastinating! No more snoozing! Wake up, jump up and go take on the day!
