Top tips on how to be a morning person

Top tips on how to be a morning personA pan-European survey of 11,000 people, commissioned by Philips Wake-up Light, has revealed that British people are among the grumpiest in Europe when it comes to waking up in the morning.  The research showed that 90% of us admit that we don't feel refreshed, alert (93%) or ready for the day (68%) first thing in the morning. Furthermore more than 70% of us admit to being negatively affected by darker mornings.
One of the UK's leading sleep experts, Dr. Neil Stanley, shares his advice on how you can help yourself become a morning person. Here are his top five tips for being a 'morning person':
1. Don't rely on coffee to wake you up. The caffeine content of coffee can vary greatly depending on where it's bought or how it's made. In the past, tests have shown that the average cup of coffee does not contain enough milligrams of caffeine to have any pick-me-up effect, so you may actually be getting no benefit at all from the coffee you convince yourself you need to help you start the day.



2. Don't press the snooze button, instead set the alarm for the time you have to wake up and then get up at THAT time. The extra sleep is far more beneficial for your body than the time spent 'snoozing'.

3. Try and have a regular time that you get out of bed, and stick to that time even on the weekends. The body starts preparing itself to wake up one hour before you actually do, so the routine helps the body know when to start to prepare.

4. Alarm clocks can often startle you out of sleep, which is not perhaps the best start to the day. Dawn simulators offer a solution that allows you to wake-up more naturally.

5. Finally, the best way to feel awake and refreshed in the morning is to make sure you get a decent amount of sleep the night before.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

  Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another. Oh, and yes, there's also a display here - because why not, but also because it can be useful. There's a lot more than 1.1 inches of ...

GK MCQs and facts

KNOWLEDGE Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include information, facts, descriptions, and/or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); and it can be more or less formal or systematic.In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology, and the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed upon definition of knowledge, and there are numerous theories to explain it.  Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings. source : wiki Knowledge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A series of MCQs on GK  ...
