When it comes to waking up earlier, my general motto is, no thanks. I'm so envious of those morning people, the ones that can just hop out of bed and get their day started while I hit snooze 57 times. It feels like they've had a full day before I get out of my pajamas, and this is the decade that I actually look forward to the morning. The first, and most obvious answer to becoming a morning person is getting a good night's sleep. When you do that, you feel more rested and less like you've been hit by a bus when your alarm goes off. However, once you've gotten some sleep, these 11 products will help start your day off on the right foot.
From simple journals to alarm clocks that wake you up with natural light and some home workout equipment, these products will help you feel energized and alive come morning. I've been trying these techniques all through January, and dare I say they've been working! Keep on reading to shop my picks.
