Well, the day for this weekend seems to be passed quite fast because the daylight in UK is short than the night because winter is coming. As for my 500 words English article, I just manage to complete few of it instead of writing it everyday for improvement. Guess this post was probably a confession again about what I did all the while. The English course seems to be just having a "okay" feeling partly because I can't concentrate much when I having the "ego" that my English is quite okay but the reality is not. For example, I still facing some difficulties answering whether it is Gerund, Infinite, Simple perfect tense and others more. As for the "London Underground Prosecution" issue, I have choose to settle it outside the court by paying £75 and it was a shameful event that happened into my life.
Honestly, it is quite scary to think about that event again because it is not only waste the money, but the fact that no body will pay for the "emotion/psychology" lost. For example, the "Underground" incident made me can't concentrate much in the English course, that means £80 might be wasted for a day, plus the £75 fine (total RM800) "burned" in a day which I had no idea how I can earn that kind of money in a day back in Malaysia. The only thing I can do now is treasure every single moment in the school instead of thinking some nonsense stuff such as "how come other international student from other country can keep skip the class without thought about the money that been spend" which related to "very rich" issues. In fact, I felt that if our Malaysian currency isn't that weak, I don't think I will ever make this kind of "ticket" mistake.
Anyway, life still goes on as said by my brother before and it is useless to think about how other's people will laugh at me for doing this kind of stuff. There is one thing that I felt quite true which is don't ever think about those "nonsense" stuff such as will I have gone into trouble with the ticket problem during the first day arrival in London because Law of Attraction might lead you to there. Beside, the "Stop Mastubation/Internet pornography" video seems to be quite meaningful as shown below.
I believe it is a "taboo" to talk about "masturbation" stuff especially for Asian people because we're not supposed to talk about it as it is something known as "dirty" and pervert. Frankly speaking, sometime I do read back the "prostitution" blog post that I wrote before and feel "butthurt" reading the blogger review.
Over time, I tried not to read those "pros blogger review" or watch any
Anyway, I seems to be getting more "out of topic" (离题) because this post suppose to be a guide for "How to Wake Up Early". Apparently, waking up early would bring a lot of advantage than disadvantage although it is hard to practice this kind of good habits. As for myself, I tried to wake up 4am early in the morning but ended up sleep back again. Furthermore, I failed to find the "motivation" to wake up when compared to last time. Below content is the ways to getting up early that I just adapted from Wikihow. (Actually if I want to maintain my blog to keep update everyday, I could just copy paste anything without being frustrated to write about the things that happen to me right?)
__________________________________________________
1) Pick your goal wake-up time. If you'd like to get good at being ready and raring to go by 6 AM, great! There's your goal. This will be the goal you're working toward every day of the week. You're going to do it gradually, though, as to avoid shocking your system. That's right, every day of the week, including weekends. Until you're completely reprogrammed, there won't be any sleeping in. But once you get it down, you won't need to!
2) Set your alarm clock 15 minutes earlier than normal. If you're normally sleeping till 9, going cold turkey and aiming for 6:30 just isn't going to happen. Well, it could happen once, but then you spend the entire day drinking coffee and regretting your life decisions. For the next day, set it for 8:45. The next day? 8:30. And even when you hit that glorious Saturday, chuck off 15 minutes until you hit your goal wake-up time. If mornings are a serious issue for you, stay at one level for two days. Monday and Tuesday can be spent at 8:00 and then on Wednesday bring it down to 7:45.
3) Give yourself enough time for a good night's rest. If you're used to sleeping from 12 to 9, you can't still go to bed at midnight and expect that 6 AM wake-up call to be all trumpets and roses. As you get up earlier and earlier, go to bed earlier and earlier. The goal isn't to need less sleep (sleep, after all, is wonderful), the goal is just to wake up earlier easier. Science tells us that if you get the recommended amount of sleep during the night, it's easier to do just that. You can also try conditioning your body to need less sleep if passing on those night hours is like giving up your first born child. It's the same idea, but with maintaining a set bedtime.
4) Get excited. In order to hop out of bed in the morning with gusto, you may need something to hop out of bed for. So find something to get excited about! If nothing comes to mind, use this experiment as something to do full-force. After all, the path to new, more productive habits is certainly something to be proud of.
What do you have going on in the next day that you can't wait to get up for? Its size does not indicate its efficacy, small things work just as well. Even getting excited for the morning's cup of joe works! Yum. Can you almost taste it?
5) Get ready for the benefits. Waking up early is linked to a bunch of different, positive things. Research says that early risers get better grades, are generally more proactive, can anticipate problems and plan better than their late-rising counterparts. Hope you can handle your own impending awesomeness. It's sort of a chicken before the egg thing. Early risers have more time for exercise, family, and more quiet time at the office (and an easier commute). Is sleep making their lives better or are their lives better because they sleep? Try it out for yourself!
Sleeping Better and Waking Easier
1) Start a nighttime routine. Our bodies need to program down, in a sense. The rush of the day has us into human-sized Energizer bunnies and we can't just go from 60 to 0 in a heartbeat. Your routine should be whatever appeals to you, but it should be daily (to serve as a cue to your body) and take at least 15 minutes.
The routine can consist of showering, drinking warm milk, listening to classical music, or doing relaxing exercises such as yoga or Pilates. If you read, make sure to read without any bright lights (more on that later). Designate your bedroom for sleeping only. Refrain from any strenuous activities right before, as this will inhibit comfortable sleep time.
2) Dim the lights about an hour before you go to sleep. Dimming your lights an hour before you plan on sleeping will help suppress the hormone melatonin, which could lead to a better night's sleep. Try to turn off TV screens, laptop monitors and the like an hour before you want to go to sleep. The science behind it is that all these bright lights are messing with our body's internal clocks. When you're sitting in front of a computer, TV, and phone until 2 AM, your body has zero ideas as to what's going on; it could be 2 AM or 2 PM for all it knows. Turning off the lights lets your body realize, "Ahh, it's bedtime. Shutting down!"
3) Get a decent amount of shut-eye. It's a simple truth, but that doesn't mean it's any less important: sleeping enough will help you wake up earlier. Every individual varies when it comes to their needs; what're yours? It's easier to wake up early if you've have the recommended amount of sleep during the night. Plan on getting:
a) 7 to 9 hours of sleep for adults.
b) 9 to 10 hours of sleep for pregnant women.
c) 10 to 11 hours of sleep for children and the elderly.
4) Sleep with the curtains half-open. Sleeping with the curtains half-open could help your body to stop producing melatonin while simultaneously ramping up production of adrenaline. This could help your body be ready to embrace the day by the time your alarm clock goes off. You know how we just said light keeps you awake? Well, if you're asleep it awakens you. Crazy stuff, huh? The natural sunlight will be perceived by your body, even when you're asleep. Sunlight can also warm your bed, letting the temperature tell you to get up, too. If that's possible, consider placing your bed in the right position in your room to utilize this effect.
5) Try to fall back asleep if you wake up at night. Remain in bed to avoid awakening your body should you move around. However, if you're tossing and turning for over 20 minutes, get up. Do a relaxing activity (like reading or stretching) until you feel you can go back. Getting up in the middle of the night could be the symptom of a larger problem. Evaluate your habits and your environment. If you're doing everything right (you'll know by the end of this page), consider seeing a doctor. You may have a sleep condition that he/she can help with.
6) Adjust the temperature. Most doctors will tell you to keep the room somewhere between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 22°C). However, what's comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for another. If you have any trouble sleeping, consider messing with the temperature. You may find your sleeping woes to vanish at the click of a button. If you're not sleeping alone, utilize layers or the lack thereof. Try to find a common ground where you're both negotiating. Worst comes to worst, there's always heating blankets!
7) Put your alarm clock away from your bed. When it's out of reach, you're forced to get out of bed. Putting it next to your bed is just a temptation to hit the snooze button and fall back to sleep for 9 minutes. Not helpful at all. If your alarm clock is the painful MERP MERP MERP kind (did a twinge of disdain just flicker through your veins?) consider getting a new one. There are dozens out there that are way better. Some fly, some smell like bacon (okay, that one's still in the works), and some will smack you in the face. If yours is a day or two away from being ran over by your car, consider getting a better one.
8) Avoid snoozing your alarm clock. As soon as the alarm rings, get out of bed to start your morning. You will eventually awaken and feel better that you've persevered through morning drowsiness. Jump out of bed (as much as is feasible) and think about tackling your inevitably awesome day. Snoozing won't make you feel more rested. Scientists have found that you don't get the more restful, REM sleep while snoozing, making this guilty pleasure especially wasteful for your wakefulness. In fact, you'll just feel worse.
9) Wake up your senses. Once you've gotten out of bed, give yourself that much-deserved pick-me-up. It could be a cup of coffee or tea (that brewing smell will be sure to get you going), a cold glass of water, or a nice shower. Whatever it is, make sure it awakens one (or more) of your senses. When your body and mind are stimulated, you'll automatically wake up to take it in. Light and sound work, too, in addition to taste, smell, and touch. Throw open the curtains, turn on some music, and get your day off on the right foot. The better the morning, the better the afternoon and evening!
Ensuring Top-Quality Sleep
1) Exercise early enough in the day. Many doctors believe that getting in a moderately-intense cardiovascular workout during the afternoon helps people get to sleep at a reasonable time. So go to the gym, join a basketball team, or bust out the dusty treadmill you've been telling yourself you'd use. It'll help you get to sleep earlier. Try not to exercise later on at night. Exercising late at night raises your body's core temperature. Since sleep is thought to be brought on by a drop in the body's temperature, late-night exercise may be detrimental to an early night's sleep.
2) Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks at night. It will keep your body awake and ultimately cause insomnia. Limit your daily consumption to less than 500 mg per day. A grande brewed coffee from Starbucks has 330 mg of caffeine. Red Bull clocks in at a decent 80. Just for the record.
3) Get more sleep on days after you under-sleep. People need more sleep the next day when they fail to get enough sleep the previous day(s). So if you got only 5 or 6 hours of sleep on Monday (which you shouldn't, usually), be diligent about getting 10 to 11 hours of sleep on Tuesday to compensate for your deprivation. Otherwise, you could be feeding a vicious cycle of sleepiness every morning. Don't nap for long periods of time during the day to make up for it, however. The closer it gets to actual bedtime, the more devastating a nap can be. If you need to take a nap, try to make it before 3:00 PM, and limit it to under 45 minutes. That'll provide the most rest while still giving you a good chance of falling asleep quickly later at night.
4) Avoid eating large meals before bedtime. Not only does the rush of flavor wake you up, but once you do hit the sack, you may have a hard time staying there. Not only is it bad for your waistline, but it's bad for the next day's energy, too. Your digestion slows down when you sleep and eating a big meal beforehand makes you susceptible to heartburn (in addition to the trips to the bathroom). Going to bed in a near food coma makes it difficult to initially fall asleep, too. So it's best to just avoid it.

At last, I hope that I can follow the guide as mention above and the most important is stop being
Be Happy and have a nice weekend!
