The Science Behind A Consistent Waking Up Time
Our bodies follow a certain circadian rhythm that relies on us following a consistent sleeping time.
One can use the morning sunrise as an anchor to your wake time. Having a fixed time also builds a sleep drive gradually, as the body gets in the habit of falling asleep at the same time at night.

Don't Push The Snooze Button
We should follow the alarm that is set, and get up at the time. If it is slightly difficult, you can set up multiple alarms in the initial mornings, but do not hit the snooze button while half asleep. That’s cheating.
If you have trouble sleeping due to sleep apnea or are showing signs of insomnia, do consult a sleep specialist.
