How To Become An Early Riser

If you never seem to have enough time to do the things that you want to do, maybe you need to invent longer days. Often referred to as our internal clock, every living thing responds to circadian rhythms. A circadian rhythm is an approximately 24-hour long cycle that controls specific functions and systems in our bodies. The word circadian is a combination of the Latin words circa (around) and dies (day). Our bodies have over 100 circadian rhythms. Each one directs a different physiological function in our bodies ranging from regulating body temperature to regulating when we sleep and when we wake up. You develop sleep habits and those habits affect your natural circadian sleep rhythms or your internal clock. In order to change those habits you need to reset that internal clock. Now, this isn't as easy as pressing the alarm and the hour/minutes buttons on your bedside alarm clock, although I wish it were. You need to coax your body into developing new sleep habits. Those are big words for the simple fact that our bodies respond to cycles of light and dark. Periods of light tell our brain that it's time to be awake while darkness means bed time. Don't let light from outside enter your room, and don't try to fall asleep with the T.V. on. The darkness will trigger the release of chemicals as well as other changes in our body's natural rhythms that bring on sleep. Buy an inexpensive lamp timer and plug your bedside lamp into it. Your body will begin producing the chemicals that terminate the sleep period and begin the awake period, as it responds to the light from the lamp. Adjust your bed time until you can wake up at your new "awake" time without feeling groggy.    Related content: circadian rhythms: habit - in plants, a characteristic mode of growth.
