Doing a few basic stretches before bed on Sunday evening can help you shake off the worries of the week and give your body a clean slate to start from the next morning. 2 Set two alarms so you won t hit that snooze button Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Columbia Pictures / Via gifloop.tumblr.com If you're a person who can't get up in the morning without hitting snooze first, set a first alarm about 20 minutes before you actually need to get up. Then set a second alarm for when you really need to get up. This will give you the feeling of a lie-in without the morning rush. 3 Prep a breakfast you ll want to wake up for It's a lot easier to get out of bed in the morning if you have a delicious breakfast waiting for you in the kitchen. You can make all of your breakfast the night before (e.g. overnight oats), just prep the ingredients (e.g. an omelette), or simply plan out what you're going to eat in the morning. This will help give you something to look forward to on a bleary Monday morning. 4 Clean the week s junk out of your bag Getty Images / iStock Many of us probably end the week with a bag full of receipts, loose change, and empty packets of gum. Taking just a few moments every Sunday to clean out your bags of all the random objects you've picked up throughout the week will leave you feeling more organised and lighter (physically and mentally). 5 Write down your accomplishments to settle your mind Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Netflix / Via schoolpsychin.tumblr.com Get into the habit of noting down small positive things from your week, every week. This could include your accomplishments, what you're grateful for, and what made you smile. Taking a little time to reflect on the positives can help you move past the stress of the week and get to sleep easier. This will set you up for a brighter, relaxed Monday. 6 Apply a hair mask to get your locks back to their best Getty Images / iStock Once a week, use a moisturising hair mask to help your hair recover from the week's heat styling and repair any damage. Try to look for a mask that includes biotin, which is a B-vitamin that keeps your hair healthy. Apply a hair mask to dry hair and let it work its magic for about 3–5 minutes or so. Then wash it off in the shower, before applying your regular shampoo and conditioner. 7 Plan out your outfit the night before Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Paramount Pictures / Via onedio.com This probably sounds quite obvious, but this tip is a serious time-saver in the morning. Rather than spending ages deciding what to wear in the morning, and then ironing whatever outfit you choose, do all of this the night before. This means you'll be able to throw on your clothes in minutes come Monday morning. You might even arrive at a outfit choice quicker at night – because you're not still half-asleep. 8 Pack your bag with everything you need BuzzFeed It might sound simple, but packing your bag the night before can help you save some precious seconds on Monday morning, searching for your keys while half-asleep. Put all your essentials into your bag at night and place it in your hallway, so you can just grab it and go. Another plus? Packing the night before means you won't forget anything in the morning rush. 9 Plan your commute or gym playlist the night before Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF FOX / Via thegiflibrary.tumblr.com If you're someone who needs to switch up your playlists often so you don't get bored of your music, try building your playlists during the evening. This little tip will optimise your morning, meaning you can don your workout gear and get running, without music choice slowing you down. 10 Wash your hair in the evening rather than the morning Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Paramount Vantage / Via haidaspicciare.tumblr.com Sure, showers are great at waking you up – but they take up a lot of time in the morning. Washing your hair Sunday night before means you can just focus on styling it in the morning (making sure to use heat protectant!), which will probably save you a good 30 minutes or so. And you won't have to rush your blow-drying, either. 11 Write down a list of everything you need to do BuzzFeed Another great way to settle your mind before bed is to write down a succinct to-do list for the next day or week ahead. Getting your tasks down on paper will help give you the reassurance that you can tackle them and stop them from looming over you quite so much. Plus, the next morning you have a handy list of everything you need to accomplish ready to go.
