The doctor Ekaterina Dmitrenko told how to cope with the problem of difficult rising in the morning.

In conversation with the agency RuNews24.Ru On Wednesday, May 28, the specialist explained that this "stress hormone" peaks in the morning, but if its level deviates from the norm, waking up may not be the most difficult.

"The morning cortisol spike stimulates an increase in blood sugar levels, which is necessary to provide the brain with energy," said Dmitrenko.

According to her, in order to maintain cortisol levels, you should spend more time outdoors, eat right, include foods with glucose in your diet, and also do not forget about physical activity, but in moderation: overwork can lead to a malfunction in the body, writes RIAMO.

Dmitrenko stressed that you should not give up carbohydrates — your body needs them. They are especially important in the evening to support the production of serotonin and melatonin. Their prolonged restriction can cause stress in the body, which negatively affects cortisol levels.

At the end of March, somnologist Sofia Cherkasova, in an interview with Moskva 24, said that early risers are useful for people with the "lark" and "dove" chronotypes. Larks usually go to bed around 20:00-22:00 and get up at 04:00-07:00, owls — between midnight and morning, and wake up around noon. Pigeons are somewhere in the middle, notes 360.ru .

In January Pravda.With reference to experts, she wrote that it is important to establish a sleep regime, start the morning with light, and observe sleep hygiene in order to learn how to get up early. Personal motivation and morning rituals, such as listening to your favorite music, will not hurt.

Earlier, doctor and video blogger Ali Abdaal from the UK said that the most effective way to improve sleep is to stop using the phone in the evenings. In addition, the doctor advised giving preference to regular alarm clocks.
