冬天起床太…难…了 Tips for Making Winter Wake-Ups Easier

Now that winter's here, your reluctance to get out of bed in the morning has mounted exponentially.

冬天一到，起床的困难指数成倍增长。

When your alarm goes off, it is much easier to snuggle deep into the covers, and you might be constantly oversleeping when you know that you should get up.

闹钟响的时候，你还缩在被窝里。你知道自己该起床了，可就是经常会睡过头。

In an attempt to curb this bad habit, there are some tips for making waking up a bit more manageable.

为了改掉这种坏习惯，这里分享了一些能够帮你更容易起床的技巧。

Drink something before you sleep.

睡觉前喝点东西。

By the time your alarm goes off, you will probably have to use the bathroom and won't be able to go back to sleep comfortably.

到闹钟响起的时候，你可能不得不冲向洗手间，这样你就不能再轻易回到甜美的梦乡了。

Don't allow yourself to reason with yourself.

别给自己找理由。

This is probably your biggest wake-up mistake. You may resolve the night before to wake up early, but of course, your brain tends to tell you that it's better for you to get enough sleep or that the world will wait if you rest for ten more minutes.

这可能是你目前陷入的最大的误区。也许你前一天晚上决心早起，但第二天早上，你的大脑往往会告诉你：睡眠充足很重要，再睡十分钟吧，不会影响什么的。

You can convince yourself of a hundred different reasons to stay in bed, even if it is not the best course of action.

即使赖床不是目前最好的做法，你也有一百种不同的理由说服自己继续躺在床上。

Try to shut off all that "logic" and force yourself to make getting out of bed a physical, automatic routine.

尝试避开所有此类"逻辑"，强迫自己起床，形成一种身体自动的惯性。

Have something to look forward to.

有一些你期待的东西。

It's much easier to get out of bed when you focus on something you actually want to do instead of on the drudgery of what you must do.

专心于你真正想做的事情，而不是你必须完成的苦差事，这样起床会变得容易很多。

Try setting aside a few minutes in the morning for a ritual that will help you look forward to waking up. Maybe a shower with a special soap, another chapter in that book you can't put down, or perhaps a fancier-than-usual breakfast.

尝试在早上留出几分钟，给自己一点仪式感，这样你会更期待自己能够清醒过来。也许你可以用特别的香皂洗个澡、读一读那边你放不下的书、或是享受一顿比平日更丰盛的早餐。

Whatever it may be, try to give yourself something that will help you start the day right.

尽量给自己一些期待，无论是什么，都可以帮你开始新的一天。

Take a shower as soon as you get out of bed.

离开被窝之后赶快去洗澡。

The water and change in temperature will get your circulation going. A shower gel with mint or some other invigorating scent perhaps could help make you more alert.

水和温度的变化将促进体内循环。沐浴露里添加点薄荷或者其它使人振奋的香水，或许也能让你更清醒一点。

Do something active.

动起来。

You may not have the time or energy for a full-blown exercise routine every morning, but get your body moving somehow.

你可能没有足够的时间和精力每天早晨都做一套全面的运动，但你可以让你的身体多少动一动。

Bop around a bit more than usual while you get ready in the morning or add a few minutes of jogging in place to the routine. Maybe take three minutes to dance.

起床成功，那也强迫自己在被子底下动一动，或者让肌肉拉紧、放松几次，让身体适应一下。

If you can't even muster the energy to get out of bed, just force yourself to wiggle around under the covers or tense and un-tense your muscles several times to get your body in gear.

如果你甚至无法集中能量起床成功，那也强迫自己在被子底下动一动，或者让肌肉拉紧、放松几次，让身体适应一下。

If none of this works, there is another obvious tip of setting the alarm clock across the room.

如果上述方法都不起作用，那么，还有一个大招：把你的闹钟放在房间的另一头。
