How to wake up early without using an Alarm

How to wake up early without using an Alarm

This is a simple but effective technique for waking up early in the morning. No alarm clock needed!

Step 1: Determine a time you want to wake up (lets call it X am)
Step 2: Just before you lie down on your bed (or whereever you sleep), tell your pillow 3 times, loud enough so that you can hear it in your ears "Wake me up at X am" [don't laugh]
This step is the key. When you say the command loud enough so that you can hear in your ears atleast 3 times, the command gets registered in your brain. [Note: Talking loudly as if talking to an external object or person is just a way of programming your own sub-conscious mind, so it doesn't matter if you say this to yourself, your pillow or anything, just say it loud enough so that your ears can hear three times]
Step 3: Lay down in your bed and goto sleep
Step 4: Your eyes will open at X am
Step 5: Get up and sit on your bed. Allow yourself to sit on the bed for 1-2 minutes, but not more. Otherwise you will go back to bed again
Step 6: Rub your palms togather briskly to generate warmth, and place them on your eyes
Step 7: Get out of the bed.

Give yourself (or your pillow ) a pat on the back to have successfully learnt to set your internal alarm clock!

Leave comment if you made it work. Good luck!


Reference: This is an ancient Indian technique, has been used for ages by several othe cultures too.

Some tips:
1. You need atleast 7-8 hours of sleep (8-9 if you are a growing kid or teenager) to feel rested and refreshed. The technique will work even otherwise, but it is recommended that you goto bed atleast 7-8 hours before you plan to get up.
2. If you drink plenty of water of night, you might wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. you might need to reset your internal alarm clock by restating the command 3 times to your pillow if this happens.
