Whether you love mornings or not， they're a fact of life． If you hate them， here are some ways to make them less awful． If you're a morning person， these tips can make mornings even better!
（1） ． Be sure to get an adequate （足够的） amount of sleep． Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep to feel their best during the day． If you must get up at 5 or 6 a．m．， go to bed early to get your eight hours． Turn off the TV， computer or smart phone and hit the hay． When you get enough sleep， you won't feel sleepy． You can get out of bed on time． That will make your day better， too．
Turn on some music in the morning． Play any tunes you like． It doesn't matter． （2） ．You'll feel much happier as you start the day．

Don't watch TV or read a newspaper first thing in the morning．Your brain is fresh and ready to work on new things． Don't fill it up with negative （消极的） information about the world and its problems． Instead， read something inspiring（鼓舞人的） or uplifting．（4） ．
Avoid answering QQ or WeChat first thing． Use that precious （宝贵的） morning time to get some exercise， eat breakfast and enjoy life． Check QQ or WeChat last before you leave your house． Then you'll only have time to check the most important messages．（5） ．
Every day is a new day﹣enjoy it!
