Being a morning person really does pay off.

Studies have long shown that waking up early and getting your day started on a good note can make you more productive on a day-to-day basis. But many people find that much easier said than done. Well as it turns out there are some neurological reasons that can hold you back from waking up early and a few things that can help you change that.

Change your mindset.

There are a few things in your morning routine that you think may help you wake up and feel alert that is actually hurting you. Neuroscientist, Dr. Tara Swart, explains that there are 3 main things that contribute to becoming a morning person. If you start incorporating these into your routine should really feel the difference. The three areas to focus on are:

1. Staying hydrated
2. 7-9 hours of sleep
3. Exercise

When it comes to the first one, coffee doesn’t count!
