A few things...

- Morning sunlight, I go for a 15 min walk right after breakfast, apparently the natural light helps reset your bodyclock (bright light triggers natural morning hormones like cortisol)

- Regularity. This is key. Try and get up at the same time every day. I have an alarm every weekday for 7:30am (it's off on weekends, but I usually get up at the same time anyway). And I have an alarm at 10pm, to remind me to get ready for bed. I used to hate alarms, but regularity will help your body and sleep-patterns in the long run. Alarms are really the only way to achieve this.

- Bedtime routine. I do a simple 10-minute breath meditation when I go to bed. I find it helps clear my head and get to sleep quicker.
