Become one with your internal clock. Your “circadian rhythm” regulates the release of hormones that tell you “when to sleep and when to wake up.” The simple way to reset: Get more sleep. People who get seven to nine hours a night “consistently wake up before their alarms.”
Visualize. When drifting off, think of the “exact time you’d like to wake up” and associate it with an important event, such as a job interview or medical appointment. If you add specificity to your wake-up time, you can “subconsciously trigger a surge of hormones.”
