1. Upgrade your pillow with a silk pillowcase to keep your hair smooth and frizz-free — even if you toss and turn all night and hit the snooze button 17 times before quickly dashing into the office. People think you had time for a blowout when you woke up just 45 minutes ago.
2. Brew a mega-caffeinated coffee that actually tastes amazing to add some perk to your morning (literally). It has the caffeine of four (4) cups' worth of coffee — in just ONE CUP.
3. Hitting the snooze button restarts your sleep cycle and makes you feel groggy all day — use a super loud alarm clock with *no snooze available* so you HAVE to get up.
4. Orrrrr ~shake things up~ by using an alarm that vibrates to truly wake you up. It has a ~12-volt~ bed shaker you can put under your mattress or pillow get your morning off to an *alert* start!
5. Make mornings less painful by setting an alarm clock that simulates sunrise so you wake up more naturally.
6. Once you start forgoing the snooze button, you'll have time to chow down on an energizing breakfast toast to start your day RIGHT. We're talking combos like berries + basil + cream cheese, mango + lime + mozz, and chickpeas + tomato + fried egg. Y U M!
7. Jumpstart your day with a feeling of accomplishment by making your bed FIRST THING every day. That's right!! Every day.
8. Try a quick and simple morning yoga routine to get your blood flowing and your muscles stretched right away — you won't even *want* to get back into bed after this.
9. And trick the rest of your yoga class into thinking you're alert and your form is perfect with a non-slip mat printed with a guide to help you with your alignment.
10. Exfoliate + energize as you wash your face in the morning with a Yes To two-in-one cleansing stick formulated with coconut oil and coffee to hydrate and brighten. And it smells so good!
11. Create a pump-up playlist for mornings that are more fun, then play it on this portable, waterproof Bluetooth speaker so you can even take it in the shower! Pro tip: if you use the same playlist every day, you can make sure you're running on schedule by using the music as a timer.
12. Boost your morning shower with an invigorating Burt's Bees body wash with citrus and ginger that'll make you say "GOOD MORNING WORLD!"
13. And pop an aromatherapy fizzy in the shower; when the water activates it, you'll feel refreshed and energized by citrusy essential oils, including lemon, orange, and grapefruit.
14. Try a lightweight eye gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and peptides to combat dark circles, puffiness, bags and wrinkles — over 1,000 positive reviews speak volumes to its effectiveness.
15. Color correct those traitorous dark circles with an orange-tone NYX concealer that cancels out blue or purple.
16. And top your color-corrector with a cult-favorite Nars Radiant Creamy concealer with hydrating ingredients and ~light-diffusing technology~ that'll make you look like you slept in this morning.
17. Apply your brightening concealer (like the Nars option above!) in a triangle shape (not dots) for the best coverage. And it'll draw attention to the brightest part of your eyes!
18. Use nude liner on the waterline of your eyes (aka just inside your lower lashes) to make your eyes look bigger AND more awake. Win win!
19. Whip up a filling smoothie in a Nutribullet blender that mixes everything together right in a removable travel cup for on-the-go breakfasting with minimal effort.
20. Not sure what smoothie to try? Might I suggest a "wake up" smoothie made with strong coffee, rolled oats, and frozen banana.
21. Put together a prioritized plan so you don't waste precious morning minutes thinking about what you're going to do instead of actually ~doing it~.
22. Play with a cubic zirconia spinner ring in those boring, should-have-been-an-email meetings to help you stay focused. Idk about you, but that 3 p.m. doze is REAL.
23. Pop an adjustable laptop stand onto your desk at home or work to convert it into a standing desk — without shelling out the big bucks. When you're feeling groggy, or your eyes start to close and your head starts to bob, just stand for a little bit to recharge!
24. If you didn't get a full night's rest, take smart naps — like a ~coffee nap~ to feel more rested and refreshed.
25. Take a power nap wherever you are with a handy infinity pillow you can use as a neck rest while traveling or snooze on right on your desk.
26. Refresh yourself throughout the day with a Mario Badescu facial mist — if the burst of hydration doesn't wake you (and your skin) up, the soothing green tea, cucumber, and peppermint formula definitely will.
27. Keep track of your water intake by filling up a ~magical~ motivational water bottle. It has markers on the side (just refill it at 1 p.m.) so you can stay on track through the day. You might be surprised at how energized you feel when properly hydrated!
28. Snack happy on Awake chocolates, adorable (and tasty) bars to reenergize your afternoon — each chunk has the same amount of caffeine as quarter a cup of coffee!
29. And the best way to feel more awake? Sleep *better*! Check out our guide to 32 Things For Anyone Who's Still Awake At 3 A.M. Chanting "Go To Sleep!" for recommendations on products that'll actually help you get to sleep.
