Getting up before the sunrise, rudely jarred into consciousness by the klaxon of your hideous alarm clock can be a difficult way to start your day. If you’re an early riser, than its no problem. But if you’re a busy parent, husband, wife, worker or any other human who has many obligations and yet, still
finds time to take medical assistant training in pursuit of a better career, then you’re likely to find these six morning hacks useful.
Find the best alarm clock. The regular screeching, electronic alarm clocks are a recipe for rude awakening and lead to all-day grumpiness. Instead, try an unconventional alarm, like a light alarm, or even the old standby, the clock radio – tuned to a classical or otherwise soothing type of radio station. Listening to peaceful music as you wake up slowly is better than pounding away on the snooze button
Open those shades! Sunlight is the best disinfectant. It is also a good way to get your morning energy levels up. The sun’s rays depress the manufacture of melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy. Letting the sun shine in on you helps you to wake up faster and more thoroughly than waking up in darkness.
Hydration Situation. Downing a glass of room temperature water as soon as you open your eyes rehydrates the body after many hours of immobility. This helps revitalize your body and also helps you avoid snoozing by making you have to use the bathroom.
Catch a Breath of Fresh Air. As long as it isn’t ten below, stick your head out the window or pop out on to the deck to fill your lungs with fresh oxygen. 10 breaths is all it takes to jump start your body with better mental clarity and vigor. Weather permitting you might even entertain a short bit of physical activity outside the front door. Go grab the newspaper or walk the dog around the block. It will do your body, mind and attitude good (even if it is difficult to get started from a cold stop).
Prepare a healthy breakfast the night Before. We’re not all morning people and it takes many of us all the energy we have to get from the bedroom to the kitchen where we reflexively grab for sugary drinks and pastry. Do yourself a favor and skip the blood-sugar spiking breakfast. Instead, cut up some fresh fruit and/or measure out your cereal the night before so you can sit right down to a healthy option first thing.
Or, if you’re a super nocturne, you might consider a different schooling option besides medical assistant training. With medical billing online classes, you can set your own schedule and avoid the early morning wake up altogether. The choice is yours with the
Allen School of Health Sciences as your source for career training in the healthcare field.
