Dave Chong, from davechong.com compiled a very useful list containing tips on how to wake up early.

Waking up early is a very good thing to do because it gives you an extra quiet time in the morning, before the day officially starts. The full list contains 15 tips. I’ve selected only the most efficient ones.

These 5 tips work wonders for me.

1. Have a good reason to get up. I belive this has the utmost importance. Without a good reason, you’ll have no motivation to get up.
2. Go to bed earlier. I don’t think you’ll be able to go to sleep at 5:00 in the morning and manage to wake up half an hour later.
3. Sleep more effectively. If it’s impossible to go to sleep earlier, try to get a shorter, more efficient sleep. Quality rules quantity.
4. No more another 10 mins. The most dangerous enemy that you have in this fight is a sweet thought - “10 more minutes…”. Get rid of it as soon as it comes in your mind.
5. Jump out of bed. Once you’ve opened your eyes, jump out of bed immediately! This way you’ll actually wake up and be able stay up.

Concerning the third point (sleep more effectively), Ririan recently wrote a very interesting tips list on how to get a more efficient sleep. Be sure to check it out.
