"
Waking up early is only a learned habit." This is so true!
#12 is the most effective for me:
"Be Consistent. Make sure that you go to bed and wake up every day at the same time. Consistency develops habits, and waking up early is only a habit."
I have to discipline myself to go to bed at the same time every night, even on vacations and weekends, or else I'm messed up.
If I can't sleep because I have too much to think about, #3 really helps:
"Plan your day the night before." This helps me to focus my thoughts and release my brain from thinking about tomorrow.
Which leads to #6: "Eliminate stress."
Reading the Bible and praying is how I deal with stress. I confess my sins, turn my loved ones and my plans over to the care of God, and then I can sleep easier.
