Don’t waste energy on feeling jealous. We found out the best tips, so, just have a read and start to implement some of these tips into your schedule.

Early Riser Tips
1. Start using The Bellabaci Circuflow Genie!
There is no better remedy to get things moving. Boost you blood circulation, rev up the energy levels and increase your lymphatic drainage to get rid of all those energy wasting toxins! Apply in the mornings, used with or without your Bellabaci Cups, will soon have you feeling better and ready to take on the day’s challenges.
2. Go to Bed Earlier
Probably the biggest detractor from getting up early is not getting enough sleep. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that if you don’t go to bed so late, you won’t need to sleep late either. Do you really need to be staying up until midnight or later, particularly on a work night? We are willing to bet that you’re not actually doing anything productive or beneficial. The TV shows and social media can wait; stop wasting your time. You’ll be surprised by how great you feel once you get into an early sleep routine.
3. Have a Consistent Sleep Schedule
Your body thrives on routine. That’s why you get hungry at certain times–your body has been trained to expect it! Establishing a proper sleeping schedule is no different. Furthermore, having a routine will make it easier to get up early. The bad news is that you should start getting up at the same time everyday, including weekends. We know this may be a struggle, but if you don’t do this, your body will be constantly confused about when it should wake up, and getting up early will be all the more difficult.
4. Never Eat Before Bed
We know that a quick pre-bed snack can be tempting, but this is an incredibly bad idea if you want to wake up earlier and feel rested at the same time. Sleep is a time for your body to rest, repair and recharge. It is not a time for digestion. This is because it takes up far too much energy, which can make falling asleep more difficult. If you do manage to visit the land of nod, food digestion will rob you of the strength you’re supposed to be regaining. Even if you do get a full eight hours of sleep, you’ll wake up feeling tired and drained. You certainly won’t feel like getting up early. In short: put the cookie down.
5. Reduce Your Caffeine Intake
This may be an obvious one, but it’s definitely worth mentioning. Less caffeine means that you won’t still be riding its high at 11:30 p.m. Start by eliminating any kind of caffeinated beverage in the afternoons. We know that this can make life difficult when the mid afternoon sets in, but you need to resist the urge! If you’ve started going to bed earlier you hopefully won’t get these kind of tired attacks anymore anyway. If you really feel like you need some kind of ‘pick me up’ try an energizing snack like almonds instead.
6. Never Drink Before Bed
A little sip before bed may seem like a good idea, particularly if you haven’t yet cut out that afternoon coffee. Despite what people say, drinking alcohol before bed will not help you sleep well, even if it does make you pass out. What it will do, however, is increase your deep sleep cycle and rob you of REM sleep. Because of this, you will feel tired when your alarm clock goes off and be all the more tempted to hit the ‘snooze’ button. As a side note, REM sleep is also needed for proper learning and memory function, so you definitely want to get enough of it.
7. Have a Good Reason to Get Up Early
Getting up early requires motivation, at least initially. Give yourself a good reason to do it. This could be anything from getting tasks done to having something to look forward to. Get up because you need to get stuff done, but make sure you also give yourself a little motivational rewards, whether it be allotted time for a TV show, or a nice brisk walk.
8. Turn Your Reason into a Challenge
Now that you have a reason to be up, make it a challenge! Don’t let yourself fall into a rut or break the routine. Tell yourself that you can and will get up early to complete these tasks and that you’re capable of turning this into a habit. The only person that can truly hold you back is yourself.
9. Start Working Out
Exercise is a fantastic tool for waking up early, firstly because a good workout in the afternoon or evening will leave your body rested and in need of an early sleep. Secondly, working out early in the morning will make you feel energized and ready to conquer the rest of the day. These two ideas may seem to negate each other, but we can assure you that they’ll work in both circumstances.
10. Make Sure Your Alarm Clock is Out of Reach
The oldest trick in the book is sometimes the most effective. Force yourself to get out of bed by putting that pesky alarm clock out across the other side of the room. And don’t forget to choose the alarm tone that irritates you the most!
11. Go to Bed Calm and Relaxed
Going to bed wound up and stressed will only serve to keep you awake, regardless of how tired you are. Try to go to bed calm and relaxed. If you need a little help in this area, we would recommend yoga, meditation or even a simple relaxing tea such as chamomile.
12. Have an Exciting Breakfast Planned
When all else fails, food is the answer. Seriously, we are far more motivated to get out of bed if you know you have something delicious to eat for breakfast. Now, just because we say ‘delicious’ and ‘exciting’ doesn’t mean it has to be complicated. We can get excited over a smoothie and juice made from fresh fruit. If drinking your breakfast isn’t your style, a simple bacon and eggs or some crunchy muesli can do the trick. Just make sure it’s something that you’ll look forward to, that way you’ll be more likely to get up for it.
