Pinterest Series: Wake Up

I actually just took ideas from a few different pins that said they knew the secrets to waking up.
I work and I go to school, so I'm always waking up early. I wanted to find out what I could do to keep myself awake in class.
Here are my notes:

Face cleanser - woke me up for during and a few minutes after to get ready, but as soon as I got in the car and on my way , I was tired again.
Day 2 - face cleanser did not wake me up, wasn't even really feeling the tingling

All they do is get me all wet

Open blinds so sun wakes me up - I woke up before my alarm went off. The sun did wake me up, but I wasn't mad that it did because it was actually nice waking up to sun. It is a Friday so I did stay in bed a little more though because I had nowhere to go. So should probably try it again
Day 2-It woke me up an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off, maybe I should try slanting the blinds, so its not full force
Day 3 - slanted blinds still woke up an hour early, once again stayed in bed because I had nowhere to go, need to do this on a week day
After multiple days I do wake a little early, but I'm able to go back to sleep

Pick a time and wake up at that time every day - it's Friday but still had alarm set for 8
Saturday woke at 8
Sunday woke at 8 but did not get out of bed
I pretty much wake up the same time everyday, except for a few days at 7. I don't feel any different.

Glass of water - nope

Light jogging - helped a bit, made me feel a bit more awake

Cold shower - start with warm and start getting colder - taking a shower can wake me a little bit, but cold shower wasn't any more special

Protein for breakfast - is delicious. It did help actually having a meal instead of grabbing a little breakfast bar.

The Results:
Light jogging and exercising helps wake my body up. I'd like to wake up and actually do an exercise routine, but am way to lazy in the morning. Protein for breakfast helped wake my mind up.

5 Things

1. Open your curtains or blinds before you go to bed and wake up with the sun the next morning.
2. Find a space that's quiet and you can make your own. Make it a special study space or a place to relax.
3. Make hot chocolate and make it extra chocolatey. Then add some mini marshmallows.
4. Cut your bangs. If they're always getting in your eyes or just for a fresh new look.
5. Feeling stressed or upset? Go for a run or jog. It will surprise you how fast you can run a mile when you're upset, but then leave you feeling great after.
