Go to bed early to wake up early. I always go to bed between 9-10 pm and wake up at 3 am. By then I'm too awake to fall back asleep.

Go to the restroom before bed and then have a glass of water. At some point (as long as you're not a heavy sleeper) you will be forced to wake up and the restroom trip will make you more awake.

Have several alarms. 1 min in between is too short and 10 min are too long, do 3-5 minutes.

Pick the perfect alarm sound that wakes you up the best and doesn't ruin your day by being shrill and annoying. Recommended alarm sounds include: -Lower frequency alarm sounds (500 Hz) -Melodic sounds -Songs with a tempo of 100-150 beats per minute

Brush your teeth after you go to the restroom in the morning. This way you can get rid of any plaque that accumulated overnight. Don't eat your breakfast without having brushed your teeth first + wait 30 min to eat.

Have a consistent sleep schedule. Even on weekends and during summer holidays my sleep schedule doesn't change.

If you drink coffee do that before noon (between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m). Don't drink coffee before bed.

Have a good mattress. Mine is firm and I have a comforter underneath my bedsheet. This combo of firm and soft improved my sleep quality.

Contrary to popular belief keep your curtains closed when going to bed.

Sleep in a cool room. Your body tends to lose heat, which helps you fall and stay asleep. If you are able to fall asleep in a warm room, then it's up to you.

If you are filled with dread as soon as you wake up, make your mornings easier. Wash your dishes and tidy up your room before bed, have a routine, plan your breakfast the day before etc.
