Are you a get-up-and-go-er, bounding out of bed raring to face the day? Or a fan of one more snooze, refusing to rouse until the very last moment? Once awake, a foamy shower might set you up for the day, or perhaps it’s some girl-power music that gives you a boost. I spoke to three trailblazing women about how they start the day.
‘For me, mornings are all about the “power hour”. A couple of years ago I made the choice to wake up at 5.30am to give myself an extra hour to start my day in the way I want to. It allows me 60 minutes to focus on me, whether that’s jogging, stretching or doing breathwork.’
‘I basically refuse to get up before 7am, unless I’m travelling. I go to bed around midnight so any earlier means serious eye bags. An old-school alarm clock wakes us as my husband and I went digital-free in the bedroom a couple of years ago; scrolling mindlessly through your phone first and last thing is never going to be good for you.’
‘‘My mornings are pretty simple. I enjoy my sleep so aim to get eight hours every night and wake up feeling rested. I set my alarm for 7.30am, less than an hour before I need to leave the house. My routine is now a slick operation.‘
