"I have a hard time waking up refreshed in the morning..." It can be especially hard to wake up in the cold winter.

Do you often find yourself unable to get out of bed and then suddenly find yourself rushing to get ready for work?

At times like these, we recommend listening to music that will wake you up.

So, this time we will introduce ways to wake up refreshed and three recommended pieces of music to listen to in the morning.

On cold mornings, you want to feel refreshed when you get out of bed!

As winter approaches, the days get shorter and the sun rises later as the weather gets colder.

Even though it was my usual wake-up time, it was still dark outside and the air outside my futon was chilly.

From the moment you wake up until you get up, it can be hard for your body to get started, and it can feel like a chore.

What can you do to wake up feeling refreshed and get out of bed feeling good?

Build a body that doesn't get cold

People who are prone to colds tend to have shallow sleep, and many of them have trouble waking up in the morning.

If your hands and feet are cold when you go to sleep, it will be difficult to fall asleep, so make sure to warm your body by taking a bath before going to bed and wearing warm clothing.

Stimulate the five senses

Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.

Stimulating these five senses will help you wake up more easily in the morning.

For example, if you set up your rice cooker or bread maker the night before and then wake up in the morning with the aroma of freshly cooked rice and bread stimulating your sense of smell, your appetite will likely be stimulated and you'll wake up feeling excited.

It is also recommended to drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up, as this will stimulate your stomach and intestines and wake up your body.

Stimulate yourself with exercises you can do in bed

If you find it hard to get out of bed when you wake up, try doing some simple exercises or acupressure in bed.

The stimulation of exercise stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, switching the body into activity mode.

Make morning activities a habit

We also recommend setting aside time for "morning activities" to do your favorite activities in the morning when your day begins.

If you wake up in the morning, rush to get ready, and head to work, your autonomic nervous system is likely to become disrupted.

Taking the time in the morning to pursue your hobbies or study, then calmly getting ready before going to work will ensure a fulfilling day.

Try to make waking up every day a fun experience.

Wake up refreshed even in winter! 3 recommended songs

To wake up feeling refreshed, it is also effective to stimulate your hearing by listening to healing music that incorporates refreshing sounds of nature.

The sounds of nature contain 1/f fluctuations that have a relaxing effect.

In addition, refreshing, up-tempo melodies are also effective for waking up. Here are three recommended morning music that will wake you up to the soothing sounds of nature.

A good awakening comes from a good sleep.
Use music that promotes sleep to wake up even more easily

Getting a good night's sleep is also important to wake up feeling refreshed.

When the sun rises later, your daily rhythm tends to become disrupted, and you may find it difficult to fall asleep and wake up in the morning.

The key to falling asleep smoothly is to relax your brain before going to sleep, which generates brain waves called "alpha waves."

Listening to soothing music that promotes alpha wave sleep before going to bed will relax your mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep.

Listen to music that you find comfortable and relax your body, which has become tense due to stress during the day.



Get a good night's sleep to rest your mind and body, wake up refreshed with music in the morning, and start the day feeling energetic and active even in the cold winter!
