Woke up - it means it's time to get up
If you just woke up, do not rush to sleep again, so it will be more difficult for you to get out of bed. In our brain, in the hypothalamus, there is a center of excretion of the mediator of orexin, which is responsible for the state of wakefulness. When there is enough orexin in the body, we wake up. Everything that happens afterwards - our attempts to fall asleep for another couple of minutes - are useless, because it will either be slumbering, or there is a chance to oversleep! Physiologists have proved that active people need fewer hours to recover, no matter how paradoxical it may sound. So do not be lazy during the day!

A piece of chocolate
If you feel that the mood is deteriorating, to increase tone, eat a little dark chocolate. Thanks to him, the serotonin level in your body will improve, which facilitates motor activity and is involved in the regulation of vascular tone (found in dates, bananas, plums, figs, tomatoes, soy).
