Early Birds Feel Chipper All Day Long

"Winter days can be a bummer. Your fix: Wake up sooner.
A recent University of Toronto study finds early risers
generally have a more positive outlook on life than their
sleepyhead counterparts. One possible reason? They
max out daily exposure to morning light, which boosts
mood-lifting serotonin. If you're a night owl, look at these
tips for how to rise-and shine early.
Move your wake-up time back in 10-minute increments
over the course of a few days-your body will more easily
acclimate to the change.
Stick to your schedule on weekends as much as possible.
Waking up around your normal weekday hour at least
one weekend morning can help your body stay on track.
Maximize exposure to natural rays by putting on your makeup
or eating breakfast in front of a window. Even better, take a
quick walk before you head to work."
