Tricks for Getting Out of Bed in the Morning

Light is the only thing thats done it for me, ever. In high school I made myself get up and turn on a light, which was permission to go back and lie on the bed for another 15 minutes. Without light, I've never been able to get up.

The funny part is I sometimes forget this for extended periods of time and suffer awfully trying to get up in the morning.

Skin has light receptors that help the body changing states. It helped me a lot to find out this.

Light works for me too. It's also the reason why I often oversleep in hotels with heavy light-proof drapes.

I have "Wake-up Light" made by Philips, which slowly turns light on at the morning to simulate sun raising. It helps me too.

PS. But it badly designed because it power adapter produces some low noise during night, which I can hear by one ear. It display is too bright and it built-in speaker is too cheap. :-(
