Difficulty getting up now it's winter, with more dark and less light? It's completely normal as your internal clock is affected by this, making it harder to get up. Some tips to help? 1. Consistent wake up time, let your body tell you when to go to bed (when sleepy) 2. Light straight away when you wake - sunrise alarm clock, light lamp or just get the house lights on 3. Heat on 20 mins or so before you rise so it's not freezing when you get up 4. Motivation - why get out of bed at that time?! Attach a strong reason to it 5. Light morning exercise - a (dog?) walk, some yoga, a few kettle bells - get the body going These just help you move the needle in the right direction. The rest is up to you. What do you do to get up in winter
