If you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you might just have one or more of these bad morning habits.

Here are four ways you SHOULDN’T start your day according to experts.

1.  Don’t wake up to an alarm.

It causes immediate anxiety, so try something more soothing.  Studies have found waking up to the RADIO is much better. Set your alarm to 105.7 WROR and wake up to Bob and LBF!

2.  Don’t immediately try to problem solve.

That groggy feeling is called sleep inertia and typically lasts 15 minutes to an hour.  So let yourself ease into your day before you start trying to solve anything. Most of don’t have time to linger in bed for long but, if you can take a few minutes before jumping out of bed and into the day, do it.

3.  Don’t dive straight into emails.

Reaching for your phone to read the news is one thing.  But you shouldn’t be checking your inbox as soon as you wake up.  Again, it’s immediate stress and you’re not ready to problem solve yet. This is a problem that didn’t exist just a generation ago, now we are prisoners of our phones and computers. Don’t start your day looking for problems, ease into it.

4.  Don’t focus on what went wrong yesterday. 

Sleep

Try your best to start fresh.  It’s okay to look back and reflect at some point, just not first thing. There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep to help us put the day behind us. Try to start the day fresh with a new perspective and outlook. Maybe yesterday’s problems will stay in the past.

Now here are four good morning habits you might want to add . .

1.  Focus on what you want to achieve, and make a list.  It’s a good way to organize your day, and your thoughts.

2.  Start with some deep breathing.  Meditation is great.  But even just stopping to take a few deep breaths can calm your mind and set you up for a good day.

3.  Look at something that makes you smile.  Think about hanging something in your bedroom that sparks joy.  Like a picture from a fun vacation, or just a piece of art you really love.  Visual reminders like that can put you in a good mood.

4.  Get moving.  It doesn’t have to be a full workout.  Just some light stretching can help get your day started on the right foot.

5 Sleep Habits To Cheat Death According to Boston Hospital

5 Sleep Habits To Cheat Death According to Boston Hospital

If you’re one of those people who says “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”,  you might find out faster than someone who is getting good zzzs!

But there’s good news! There are 5 sleep habits to help you cheat death according to a Boston hospital.

If you follow these 5 sleeping habits, you’re 30% less likely to die from any cause. (I mean, we’re all going to die, but you can put it off if you get decent sleep.)

Following five key sleeping habits can add years to your life, according to research.

Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston report that the benefits of good rest reduce the risk of death from any cause by up to 30 percent.

Overall, life expectancy was 4.7 years greater for men and 2.4 years greater for women who reported having all five quality sleep measures, compared with those who had none or only one of the five favorable elements of low-risk sleep.

“If people have all these ideal sleep behaviors, they are more likely to live longer,” says study co-author Dr. Frank Qian, a resident physician at Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston, in a statement.

Previous studies have shown that getting too little or too much sleep can negatively affect the heart. It has also been widely reported that sleep apnea, a disorder that causes people to pause or stop breathing while asleep, can lead to several heart conditions, including high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation and heart attacks.

The study reveals that those who had all five were 30 percent less likely to die from any cause. They’re also 21 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular disease, 19 percent less likely to die from cancer, and 40 percent less likely to die of causes other than heart disease or cancer.

Scientists reveal the five key habits as:

  • 1. Sleep seven or eight hours of sleep a night

    I mean, if you’re scrolling TikTok, it’s really hard to get to sleep. And you know, there a lot to watch on HBO Max. But this is important. Leave your screen in the other room. It helps.

    This might involve meditation. Or someone knocking you out. I like the Calm sleep app. Effective and not violent.
