Waking up doesn't have to be so rough. Fight off #sleepworking with the new McDonald’s More-ning McWrap®.

11. First things first: Drink some water before you go to bed every night. 💧

Drinking one glass can help replenish and fuel your body, and you literally don't have to do anything but sleep.

10. Leave your curtains undrawn so you can wake up with the sun. ☀️

Because sleeping in a cave of darkness isn't doing you any favours in the getting-to-work-on-time department.

9. Try to extend your weeknight sleep schedule into the weekend. 💤

We're not saying you have to do it, but it works.

8. This one might seem counterproductive, but wake up earlier than normal and give yourself extra time to relax. ⌚️

Your morning doesn't need to be just as stressful as the office.

7. Get a good workout in. 💪

Pro tip: Find an accountability buddy. Misery loves company?

6. Set your alarm clock to play music. 🎵

And then get up and dance yourself awake!

5. Now move that alarm clock wayyyy across the room. 👋

Yeah, now take those dance moves across the room.

4. And while you're at it, stop snoozing. 🚫

You're playing mind games with your body by tricking it into thinking it gets another eight hours. It doesn't. It's morning. Wake. Up.

3. Avoid taking long naps. 😴

Keep 'em short and sweet, people. 20–30-minute power naps only.

2. Take a shower in the morning rather than before bed. 🚿

Or just splash some cold water in your face.

1. And, most importantly, always eat breakfast! 👅
