A Healthy Way To Wake Up in The Morning
81Welcome to this hub. I never stop to give useful information for us. Health is important for us, regardless of our age. Start from kids, teenager, adult and for older person we have to concern our health no matter what. That's make me to continue to give useful information about healthy life, beside other hub about something unique even mysterious topic. This hub still related with sleeping . I think you all have to read my last hub about "The Benefit Of Sleeping For Health". It talks about how the important sleep for our health and how to reach good quality of sleeping. I just continuing about what do we do after sleeping. When we talk about the activity after sleeping, the best answer is wake up. Only wake Up, I don't think so. We need something different and I believe these all totally give us benefit for our healthy.
This hub talks about a healthy way to wake up in the morning. What do you do after wake up? We often meet various activities after wake up. Like: drink a cup of coffee or tea, watching television, reading newspaper, brushing our teeth, even take a bath directly after wake up. Are these activities gave us something benefit for our healthy? The answer is depends on our attitude in the morning after wake up. When we have good schedule in sleeping, even got good quality of sleeping. That is 7 until 8 hours. When you start sleeping at ten o'clock at night and you wake up at six o'clock in the morning. And then.....what next? I'll explain more detail about various activities we can do in the morning after wake up and these all absolutely give us something benefit for our health. Are you curious? Please continue reading.....
It sounded good when we get double benefit. The first benefit is during the sleeping and the second benefit is after wake up. Wow, we may never thought about this before. From simple activity, only sleep and the activity after wake up it give big contribution for our health. I hope we more care about this a little and pay attention for our daily activities like sleeping and wake up. So, how do we get healthy life only for waking up. Please check some information below.
Doing stretches
To remind again, before going to bed to reach good quality of sleep, better doing stretches for the muscle and joints. But we also need some light exercise after wake up, by doing stretches slowly. Such as doing yoga or rotating movement of the body into right and left. This movement will help the body to collect energy, and keep your mind stay focused. Floating feeling in the head that often occur due to waking up too early will disappear soon.
Moving
Once you are able to get out of bed, do some movement for blood circulation. By doing the crunch (lying down with knees bent and lifted the head, neck and shoulder), push-up, jumping a light, this is also quite helpful. But for older age can take a walk around the bed. The important key is moving your body.
Avoid too much caffeine
I know most of us can avoid drink a cup or a glass of coffee after waking up. This was like a tradition or a little ceremony after waking up. Most of us believe that caffeine can make us awake all day. But consume them excessively (more than two cups in the morning) can make you weak at midday. One cup is enough to make your energy levels more stable. Better to reduce a little than give bad effect for our body. Or you can choose a cup of tea to replace coffee. Green tea is the best for us. But I can't push all of you to change your hobby from coffee to tea, but it nice to try.
Drink water
When sleeping, your body uses water storage and because of that you will lost your fluids when you wake up. To get health during wake up try to drink a glass of water. Better drink a few glasses of water. Rehydration in your body with a few glasses of water will not only refresh the body, but also help stimulate your nervous system and digestive tract. Drink water before your body is filled with anything, like foods. I heard many testimonials from the people who doing this habit. And they felt better than before, I mean for their healthy.
Create a regular schedule
Our body liked consistency. Following sleep and wake up schedule with the same pattern every day will make the body more easily woken in the morning. You will feel more energized throughout the day. Like I said above, we can set the time, when do we sleep and when do we wake up. We can set the alarm o'clock to waking up us in the morning. For example for eight hours of sleeping, we can set the clock from ten o'clock at night until six o'clock in the morning.
Select the alarm with soft music
I thought anyone wouldn't love to wake up because of loudly alarm sound. It could increase the risk of heart attack. Because the loudly sound can make the people with the heart problem can worsen this condition. Or we can use mobile phone as an alarm o'clock. Select the ringtone on the phone which can play soft music. So, you can wake up slowly. If necessary, place the phone a little far so you have to get up to turn it off.
Take a bath immediately
Did you know that the most difficult thing when you wake up in the morning was take a bath? But here's the key. Immediately take a bath with cold water to wake up your nervous system and help you realize. After the bath, no more feeling lazy because your mind and your body was already "up".
Having Breakfast
After the "fasted" all night, your body needs energy to move. Breakfast every morning (although only a piece of bread with jam or fruit) will make you feel more prepared to deal with activity early. Although it looks simple, but don't underestimate the magic of breakfast. I think we know about that. Like an engine of the car, it needed fuel to make the car run well. The fuel of our body is breakfast.
Dim light
Turn off the computer or TV an hour before you sleep. Bright light can distract your attention, so the brain is more difficult to rest. By building more comfortable atmosphere of sleep, you can sleep more soundly, and the body can adjust to waking up early.
Take a deep breath
For some people, wake up in the morning could be the most anxious moments. Shadow of what must be faced in the office, or how to solve problems with a partner, will soon come to our mind. So, as soon as you wake up, take a time to breathe deeply to calm the body and mind. Start the day with a calm and relax, so that all activities in accordance with your good mood. I have simple tips. If your bedroom facing a garden or trees, try to open the window immediately after wake up and take a deep breath. Try to feel the fresh air into your nose and it distributed throughout the body. And let's say "Thanks God for giving me this oxygen". I believe this affirmation will work for us....amen.

The Benefit of Sleeping For Health
Are you enough to sleep? How much time do you need for sleep? four hours, five hours, six hours or even seven hours. It depends on us, because we have different schedule of work. Sometimes we can predict when do we sleep? But I often meet the people who have regularly schedule for their sleep. When work over time, it can be sure we less in sleep, right! Maybe we sleep just for three hours or four hours. But do yo know that from sleep can restore the vitality of someone getting better.

Wonderfully written hub and great advice. Thank you.
Great advice Prasetio. I especially like the morning stretches you suggest! I'm grateful my morning routine doesn't include smoking a cigarette, but I have to admit I do enjoy my cup of coffee :)
I love this Hub! All of these tips are healthful, and sleep is one of the best things we can do for health. Did I say Great Hub? Thank you... :0)
Hi, prasetio, this is a great hub, I need every bit of information to get me moving out of bed in the morning! I do always drink water when i get up, but as you said, I need to turn off the computer at least an hour earlier because it does make your brain wide awake and it takes me ages to go to sleep, so I will definitely be using some of these ideas, great hub, rated up, and if it works for me I will think it is brilliant! lol cheers nell
Brother Prasetio you definite get all your buttons pushed here. Great advice. This is a great way to wake up You're right about the caffeine too. God bless!
I really like this article, some great tips here! I practice Chi Gung in the mornings and Reiki meditation at night.
Thanks for the tips

Thanks for those useful tips !
good tips....yes early morning has a power of inspiring
Great advice! I surely will follow! :)
I gotta try some of these tips.
Got any tips for when a full eight hours of sleep just is not possible?
Great hub, thanks for sharing.
Hello prosetio30 this is a wonderful helpful hub, I must start to turn my computer off one hour before bed, this is something that I need to an example for my grand children for they use computer before bed and have hard time going to bed. thank you for this insight. the coffee in the morning is right, one cup is more then enough for the day.
I always stretch before i even get out of bed, it gets my blood flowing. Voted this up my friend, great hub!
Hi Prasetio, very interesting Hub and I agree with what you say. I believe that a good nights sleep is a blessing. Thanks!
prasetio30 – Great advice. But taking a bath with cold water to wake up? Are you serious? But I’ll do the rest. Thank you for reminding me to take this habit up again.
I must begin to turn my computer off one hour before bed. I struggle with getting to sleep. So much inner dialogue going on in my mind. I usually fall asleep to the tv. No cold showers for me. brrrrr. But I understand your point. This is a good hub. Thank you. Rated up.
Great points, Prasetio - sleeping is so vital to our well-being and getting up and starting the day is just as important! Well done~!
Great hub Prasetio,
I wish I did half of this to wake up. I usually fly out of bed and grab a pop. There is always tomorrow right friend?
Thanks for the great hub.
Healing touch
Yes, rest is what makes everything else possible and enjoyable.. and waking in the proper frame of mind is very important!! Great post!
prasetio30 - now I have to tell you I take a long, hot shower in the mornings, and thoroughly recognise every thought that pops up in my mind. Many brilliant ideas come forward while standing in comfortable-hot rain.
Very practical tips to do before going to bed at night time and upon waking up in the morning. Sometimes we work our mind and bodies to the extreme that sleep becomes difficult to attain. Great ideas to maintain good health. Thanks!
I really like the idea of waking up to a 'soft' alarm. Our household has 3 alarms and they are all loud which really wakes us up in the morning...but we are all in bad moods. We will take your advice, thanks prasetio.
My father always taught us to do some stretches in the a.m. - it is something I just recently started doing again ans what a difference - it actually gives me quite a bit of energy - for the whole day! And then my grandmother taught me about water - and it's ability to detox - so I have warm water in the a.m. - so soothing.
Great hub with lots of pictures! Rated up!
prasetio, Thank you for this very helful information and just when we are about to begin our back to school morning wake up rituals. These tips are great and will help us to be healthy happy and wise learning much better. Rated UP and all that is good. Blessings dear friend! :)
Great tips on starting your day off right! I especially agree on the coffee part, too much and your done for by lunch time.
Great tips. So simple and so true. I always stretch and do some rotating movements when I am still in bed, and always drink a glass of hot water when I get up. Hot water is better than cold water for your dry stomach.
I just wish I'd have a more stable schedule and go to bed at the same time every night....
These are very useful information. I do most of those things, but I can't get myself to stretch or do some exercises after I wake up.
Having the same schedule every morning is important and this reduces stress and tiredness at the beginning of the day.
Now when I have a child and wake up at 6 every morning I am less tired, because I do it every day, no exceptions. That way my body is not going through stressful changes from weekend to working day and vice versa.
Wonderful tips on how to wake up fresh in the morning, and get energized. They all really do work. Having to get up to turn the alarm off is a great idea as it is so easy to hit the snooze button and go right back to sleep, LOL! I think we would all be 'nicer' people if we did these things in the morning before going to work, and even if you are spending your time at home. Voted/rated.
I cannot help thinking that the most healthy way to wake up in the morning is to be the person who looks forward to the day ahead. In other words, if you are fulfilled by what you are doing and what life is providing (day to day) then you will be less stressed, fitter and better prepared for everything thrown at you...
Thank you for the tips! I will definitely keep these in mind!
Great tips. One of your pictures remind me of another useful get-up-in-the-morning routine--sing in the shower. I always love that one. Rated useful.
great hub! I like it.
Prasetio, Great hub with wonderful suggestions. I don't sleep very well and wake up in pain, so I do some slow stretches and that helps immensely. Thanks for all the tips.
Great hub! The way you start your morning is so important to the tone of the rest of your day. I find a shower is most invigorating and centering for me.
Select a soothing alarm music. That one works well for me the most. Nothing is more jolting than a strong alarm sound which would only make the start of my day shocking. Great hub here, I enjoy reading the tips you've suggested.
Great advice, Prasetio...but taking bath with cold water immediately in the morning would make me feel bad all day long (and many others that I know). I like to be very tender to myself when I wake up.
Thank you for good tips.
May I add a simple prayer to be included in your daily routine. This too is important.
Wonderfully composed and presented!
You had a new feature hub. Congrat for my friend. I will try your wake up tips on next morning. Thanks and I hope see your next hubs.
great hub! I like it.
a healthy way to wake up in the morning: put on the pot of coffee and start reading your hubs!!!!

Thanks good tips..
This is a Very Important Topic, many people need to read this HubPage! It took me awhile to get into a normal sleeping routine, now I am able to wake up with more energy and not feel sluggish in the morning.
This is an Awesome HubPage!!
Great work and easy to follow!
Good tips, going to try them.
Good Evening, Prasetio. Well, now you got me thinking, I better get to bed here pretty soon. I know I do not get enough hours of sleep. Working on it. I know it is important.
I really like your suggestions, some of them I am already doing. Typically when I get up, I don't do the movement and stretching and I know it would help. I do walk usually four miles, but I know the stretching and movement would be helpful before I walk.
I like the idea of an alarm with soft music. Most of my alarms are quite jarring. I always thought it was good for my heart!! But maybe not! I'm getting better at the breakfast part as well. Altho, sometimes I like to get up and lounge around and shower after my four mile walk, but I guess I could take two showers AND I will start drinking water when I get up. I have been increasing my water intake during the day, but I didn't think about having a good glass or gulp when I first wake up.
THANKS FOR THE VERY INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL HUB
vERN
I can vouch for using alarm with soft music. My ever since my girlfriend sleeps over, we've switch to soft music alarms and I do feel a lot better waking up.
I really love this hub!!! Thank you for the helpful tips!!! Blessings!
Like to wake up in morning and doing some stretching. Thanks for the advice. Try also this site http://theqigongcourse.com/qigong-for-health.
Lovely hub with so much helpful information and beautiful photos. GBY.
I may be guilty with the coffee in the morning, but i still think your hub is great :) Those are really good advice that everyone of us should take.
I am not as healthy and wake up and have a smoke and coffee and feel not so good. The pictures on this hub are inspiring and maybe switching to green tea might help me. Can you buy green tea online at all?
How did you know these were two very interesting topics for me wow. Personally I have always had it tough in the mornings, since I'm just such a night owl all the time. Yet, when I do have good mornings they seem to make up for the bad ones since they do feel so great and are so rare. My life balance series, touches just a bit on this, but mostly on work and home life balancing. Thanks again, I would love to become more of a morning person again one day.
I guess you have almost everything there.. How about a song and a dance in the morning.. puts me in the mood for the day. I would prefer the healthy breakfast though, loads of fruit, protein and carbohydrates to supply all the energy that I need for the day. Wonderful hub Prasetio. Enjoyed it !!
it was so nice about this information
really its a nice hub for bringing awareness and importance of sleep and early wakeup
These are all wonderful suggestions. :)
These are great tips to follow Prasetio. When you think abut it, who wants to start their day with that alarm clock ringing. I agree with eating and a shower in the morning. Great job and voted up, useful, and awesome. Take care brother.
Great tips, and i'm doing some of it :)
Hi Prasetio30, this is a really great hub! Beautiful tips that motivate us to wake up feeling better =) I have a bad habit of needing caffeine in the morning, and English Breakfast tea works great for me!
Loved this hub :) Thoughtful of you to post this.

It looks like we are in agreement when it comes to morning activities. I drink water, not coffee. I do a forty minute workout about twenty minutes after waking and I normally get eight or more hours of sleep.
