After the new school year begins, some mothers struggle with waking up early and feel morning fatigue and exhaustion before starting any activity, while wanting to continue sleeping. However, the necessity of taking care of their children requires them to wake up. To wake up actively and avoid feeling sluggish and tired, there are 5 steps to help you start your day energetically according to the Sleep Foundation website.

One step that increases fatigue is stopping the alarm and pressing the snooze button to try sleeping a few more minutes repeatedly, which leads to the body feeling uncomfortable. A research study indicated that getting restful sleep after stopping the alarm depends on sleeping a full cycle lasting from one hour to an hour and a half. Therefore, relying on waking up immediately after the alarm helps combat tiredness or exhaustion afterwards.

Keeping a glass of water beside your bed and drinking it after waking up relieves dehydration and combats its effects that make you feel sleepy and want to continue sleeping.

Opening the window after waking up and enjoying fresh air and sunlight helps you feel comfortable and active, increasing levels of focus and attention.

Allocating some time in the morning to stretch and practice simple yoga exercises improves brain functions, activates muscles, and creates a feeling of energy and vitality.

Writing down daily and morning tasks after waking up has benefits including clarifying feelings and thoughts, organizing the day, reducing stress, feeling calm and focused, and reinforcing mindfulness throughout the day.
