Pushing back your alarm, curling up, getting ready in the dark, or scrolling through Facebook are all things you shouldn't do when you first wake up.

| Think about what to do:It's best to plan out what you need to do when you wake up, like brushing your teeth, washing your face, making your bed, getting dressed... and stick to it. When you first wake up, you don't want to have to think about what to do. That will only make you not want to get out of bed and fall asleep easily. Photo:Shutterstock. |

| Postpone alarm:Sleeping for another 10 or 15 minutes will not make you more alert, but instead will make you feel tired and sleep deprived. At the same time, pushing back the alarm clock can easily make you oversleep. Therefore, you should wake up at the time you set the alarm. Photo:Big Think. |

| Curl up:According to psychologists, stretching when you wake up is a way to build confidence when starting a new day. Photo:Medical News Today. |

| Prepare in the dark:This makes your body think it is still nighttime and increases the feeling of sleepiness. It is best to draw the curtains, open the windows or turn on the lights to adjust your biological clock. Photo:Rd. |

| Check email, surf Facebook:It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of follow-up emails or cool Facebook posts, and end up losing track of time and running late. Photo:Elitedaily. |

| To make a messy bed:Making your bed is the key to starting a series of good habits throughout the day, so you should spend time on this instead of scrolling through Facebook. Photo:TLC. |

| Drink coffee:The ideal time to drink coffee is after 9:30 a.m. If you drink it too early, it will slow down the body's cortisol production, making you feel tired and lacking in energy. Photo:Mother Jones. |
