Snooze and five more minutes, and another five and when you realize you’re going half an hour late. And always the same question, why is it so hard to wake up early? Maybe the 3 episodes of the series last night, fall into the warm hole of YouTube or the endless instagram screen.

Admire those who wake up at 6 am to run 10 kilometers or those who go to a yoga class at 7am and are all day with an enviable energy.

Whatever the situation, the power to create good habits is in you. And everything is a matter of discipline. Waking up early depends on your nocturnal habits, after you do it for 7 days, 15 days and up to 21 days it becomes a habit.

It is not easy (if not everyone would do it) but it is not impossible.

Sleep and its cycles

Just as everything has its moment, the moment of the dream must be respected. Sleeping is as important as eating. Let´s learn about sleep and it´s cycles. The dream is made up of brain waves. Each night our dream must fulfill its 5 cycles so that we have adequate rest. According to the dream institute, the entire cycle lasts between 90 and 110 minutes.

The stages of the sleep

• 1st Stage : It is the stage where the dream is lighter. Where the person tends to wake up easier.
• 2nd Stage: Brain waves become slower.
• 3rd Stage: Brain waves are interspersed between fast and slow.
• 4rd Stage: It is the stage where the dream is deeper.
• REM: It’s the stage when dreams happen. Some people experience between 3 and 5 dreams at this stage.

They say sleep makes you happy. The benefits of good sleep are part of healthier lifestyle habits. While you sleep you forget things, reducing the stress you have had during the day. Getting enough sleep has an important connection with being happy. It is a way to relax the body and have more energy.
