A good day starts the moment you wake up. To have a good start, you must also have a good morning routine. Here are some tips that can help any girl aged 13 to 19.

Steps

  1. Have everything ready before you go to sleep. Rushing around in the morning trying to grab everything you need for the day will often result in you forgetting something. Pack your backpack, set out your clothes, and pack lunch the night before. Especially as a teenager, you may have an easier time going to bed a half hour later than waking up a half hour earlier to get this done.
  2. Go to sleep at a reasonable time. Make sure that you get at least 8 hours of sleep, so you have enough energy to get through the day. Don't spend hours on the computer or phone. If you have late TV shows that you just need to watch, tape it and hit the sack. Not only will you feel better, you'll get rid of those dark circles under your eyes. Keep all your electronics away from your bed, this may help you to get a more peaceful sleep.
  3. Always wake up at the same time. Yes, even on Saturdays and Sundays, because your body will have a good rhythm and know when to wake up. Your body needs time to naturally adjust to the time so that you will arise; thus if you wake up at the same time everyday, you won't feel tired. That's why you need at least 2 weeks in the summer to get used to waking up early for school.
  4. Understand that too much sleep is very desirable yet not very realistic. If you want more sleep go to bed earlier - and that means finish your homework earlier. More than 10 hours of sleep a day is likely not realistic.
    • Try not to reduce the amount of sleep you get suddenly! It will lead to more of a groggy feeling. Slowly cut down sleeping hours for a better effect.
  5. Use a good alarm clock. An alarm clock is key to waking up at the same time and establishing a healthy regime. Don't get an alarm clock that beeps like crazy and is bound to drive you insane in the morning. If your alarm clock irritates you in the morning, you will have a bad start to the day. Getting a radio alarm clock is usually the best solution. You’ll be awakened by the sound of your favorite station and you can feel free to listen to some tunes before making the decision to get out of bed. However, a regular alarm clock with an ordinary alarm will work just fine if you find yourself falling asleep rather than waking up to your favorite tunes. Place your alarm clock somewhere out of reach so you’ll have to get up to stop the alarm rather than rolling over and pressing the snooze button.
    • If you don't have a radio alarm clock, keep your iPod and a set of speakers ready for you to turn on and jam out while getting ready. But don't turn up the music too loud! It will damage your ears.
  6. Drink a glass of water. You haven't drank anything all night - start your day off good and hydrated. Some lemon in the water might be nice to help wake you up! You can keep some water right next to your bed to make this easier.
  7. Do some exercise the moment that you wake up. It wakes you up. Rub your palms against each other and place them on your eyes, back of your neck. This will help you to activate the pressure center and keep you energetic throughout the day. Try doing 10 jumping jacks or 20 sit-ups right after waking up, or some morning yoga or stretching - there are lots of videos on YouTube you could check out! It doesn't have to be long or involved, just something to get your body moving.
    • If you do choose to have a more involved, longer morning workout routine, remember to stretch!
  8. Refresh your skin. If you walk into the bathroom and find dark circles and tired eyes staring back at you, splash ice cold water on your face to wake yourself up. This is also a good time to wash your face, so you'll look even better during the day.
  9. Take a shower. A shower wakes you up and maintains good hygiene, so you can go to school looking and feeling great. If you don't have enough time or don't want to take a shower in the morning, it's best to splash your face with ice cold water to wake yourself up. You can also take a shower at night and wash up in the morning for great hygiene.
  10. Brush and floss your teeth. Brushing your teeth prevents cavities and bad breath. Flossing your teeth can always keep your teeth strong and healthy. Use a mint toothpaste for a fresh-feeling mouth, and rinse afterwards. Brush your teeth every morning, either before or after eating breakfast. A clean mouth can help you feel more awake and alert, too!
  11. Eat a healthy breakfast. Breakfast is the main source of energy for the whole day and the most important meal of the day. While not everyone requires the same amount of food first thing in the morning, eating some amount of a nutritious breakfast is essential for a healthy, balanced diet. Studies show that eating breakfast prepares you for the day ahead both mentally and physically. Eating breakfast first thing in the morning helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, which control appetite and energy. Skipping breakfast can lead to tiredness, fainting spells, lack of concentration and poor performance at school, college, university or work. It also means that you are more likely to snack on unhealthy foods such as chips or cookies before lunch. If you're unable to make and eat breakfast in the morning make sure you have a nutritious, energy bar on the way to school, or prepare something the night before that you can eat on the way. Some healthy and easy breakfast examples are:
    • Try a piece of fruit, two eggs (your favorite style) and a tall glass of water.
    • A slice of toast with peanut butter, a banana, and a tall glass of milk.
    • Oatmeal with fruit.
  12. Make your own plan, and figure out your own timing. You may find that doing these steps in a different order makes it easier for you to wake up, or that you need to add your own steps. Maybe you don't feel like you've exited dreamland until you've had a chance to see the sun and walk the dog. Do you need to set your alarm 10 extra minutes early to deal with unforeseen events? Or do you need an extra half hour to put on makeup after you shower? Maybe journalling or meditating before you get out of bed is important to you! Figure out when you need to set your alarm and how much time you need for each step for your own success in the morning.

Tips

  • Make sure you apply deodorant before you get dressed.
  • If you tend to hit the "snooze" button on the alarm, put it somewhere else so you have to get up to get it. If you use a phone alarm, there are apps you can get such as Kiwake that force you to get out of bed or complete a mental task before they can be turned off to verify that you're awake.
  • If you struggle to stay on task, plan what you are going to do at different times. For example, set your alarm for when you have to have finished your breakfast and then when you have to start your next task. An example would be to eat breakfast at 7:15 and do your hair at 7:45.
  • If you have extra time, read a book you enjoy. Don’t focus too much, just enjoy it. This is like a warm up for school, yet can be relaxing.

Warnings

  • Don't drink caffeine before you sleep. During your sleep, the caffeine stimulates your brain, and it may cause you to have a "bad" dream.
  • Don't vary your times in waking up. A healthy pattern makes it easier to follow.
